There’s no one-size-fits-all snow blower. Troy-Bilt has models ideal for up to 6-in, 12-in, and 18-in. of snowfall, so consider how much snow is expected in your area to narrow down your selection. Another consideration is the type of terrain snow will be cleared from such as gravel surfaces, cracked pavement or smooth surfaces. From there, determine what kind of features you’d benefit from, such as trigger control power steering, electric start, or heated hand grips, among other options.
