Question: what is the difference between a 1 stage and 2 stage snow blower?
Answer: On a single-stage snow blower, an auger (the blades you see in front of the blower) directs the snow straight throw a discharge chute. ... On a two-stage snow thrower the auger collects the snow and a fan then discharges the snow through a chute which throws the snow faster and farther away.
