FAQs About Blowers

We also offer a wide variety of used leaf and snow blowers for sale.

Do you get tired of shoveling snow? Check out our inventory of used snow blowers for sale. For smaller spaces, electric snow blowers are ideal. They are easy to move, store and maintain because they are lightweight, compact and do not require oil and gas. However, a gas-powered snow blower is for you if you live in an area with frequent snowstorms. They can clear large amounts of snow, are less expensive and provide more power than their electric counterparts. For additional details, click the “Request Information” button on the listings above.

Straw blowers are used to blow straw bales — not to be confused with hay bales; those are used to feed livestock. Equipment such as our Finn straw blowers for sale can shred and blow two to three bales of straw in less than a minute or 120 bales of pine straw in an hour. High production equipment can shred and blow up to 20 tons of bales per hour for the biggest jobs.
Electric straw blowers can weigh as little as 500 pounds whereas gas or diesel-powered blowers can weigh 5,000 pounds or more.
Two-stage snow blowers are great for handling all types of fluffy, wet flakes. In the first stage, the auger collects snow and transfers it to the center of the machine and back into the impeller, which then propels it up and out of the chute. These types of snow blowers are great for handling all types of snow on most surfaces — especially for use on gravel driveways as they don’t clean all the way to the ground, keeping gravel out of your blower’s auger.
