The new house has more flat than gravel. Sold the 2stager and figuered I could get by the single.
It's great when the snow conditions allow for the single stager to work.
The issue is proximity to water and 85% of the time , it's the wet/heavy stuff.
Added back a 2 stager to the mix. 2 stager does most of the work and the SS is really there as a ~broom~ just to get down to surface clean.
The SS is a bear on doing the initial cuts if it's deep. Or deep and wet. And I need to do at least 3 cuts - basically a T for the areas I need to use it. It's a clog monster when doing the intial cut. I spend more time unclogging than blowing - hence adding the 2 stager back into the mix.
For those with just a single stager or PREFER to just use a single stager, do you get any wet snow.
How do you deal with taking the initial bite or do you just go out often enough, so the 1st bite won't be a issue. Personally, I'm not a huge fan when it's blowing a hotmess. I like to wait it out.
For discussion sake, my SS is a HS621
Thinking about selling it. Wouldn't mind the extra garage space.
I'm sure I will have buyers remorse
Every part on is OEM.....fresh paddles, NEW auger, new bearings, etc
Since adding the 2 stager, I have not used the 621 at all.
By choice. 2 stager is much more work to manuevar but it gets the job done with no need for me to declog.
If someone shot a video of me using the 621 cutting the initial bites and how many times I was declogging....you guys would be commenting galore on operator error
