Yard Man Snow Blowers
Yard Man, now known as Yard Machines, makes single stage electric, single stage gas and two stage gas snowblowers. Let's take a look at what a Yard Machine snow blower will do for you. Yard Man Single Stage Electric Snow Blower
Within single stage electric models, Yard Man is at the bottom for
both price and performance. In our opinion, any
single stage electric snowblower will choke on heavy or wet or
compacted snow and not throw it very far. If you are
working with no more than an inch or two of snow, maybe you
will be ok. Even the famous Toro single stage electric
fails in heavy snows. If you need to clear real snow, get a
two stage gas model. An example of the Yard Man is the
Yard Machines 31A-040. You'll spend about $150 and be
mad every time you get a big snow. Shop around before you buy it
and make sure it will meet your needs.
Yard Man Single Stage Gas Snow BlowerIf a single stage snow blower will handle the snow fall in your area, the Yard Man is as low a price as you can get. Of course it is also a below average performer. Expect only fair removal speed, clearing compacted snow, throwing distance and controls. It is good at surface cleaning and noise. It is excellent at handling - great...you'll be able to easily maneuver a snow thrower that doesn't throw snow. An example of a Yard Man is the Yard Machines 31A-2M1A which runs about $330. Yard Man Two Stage Gas Snow BlowerThe Yard Man models in this type are priced cheaper than most of its competitors - and is outperformed by most of its competitors. Even with two stages the Yard Machine 31A-32AD for $500 is poor on removal speed and throwing distance, fair at clearing compacted snow and controls, good at handling and noise and very good at surface cleaning. The Yard Machines 31AM63EF is only $200 more and for $700 performance improves a lot. You get very good clearing of compacted snow, surface cleaning, controls and handling. You get good removal speed and throwing distance and a fair rating on noise. Clearly this is worth the extra $200. Overall Yard Man Review
As with any manufacturer, as you move from electric to gas
and from single stage to two stage, performance improves.
This is true in the Yard Man Yard machines lineup. If
your heart is set on a Yard machine, go for the$700 two stage
model 31AM63EF. To get similar performance in a
single stage gas you would have to pay more and get a Honda.
And there is no single stage electric that will perform as
well as this model Yard Machine. If you're on a budget,
don't be afraid of the bigger two stage and give
consideration to the big Yard Machine.
