I have the Ego two stage self propelled blower. It kicks butt compared to my gas powered two stage blowers at work. Shoots wet slushy snow out even. I would say it’s not built as rugged though so you have to watch rocks etc. It’s perfect for my large paved driveway and walkways.
IMO the ego stuff is even more plastic-y and more expensive all around. Greenworks makes 8AH 80V batteries that will be pretty hard to beat, voltage is power👍
I've been using the Greenworks 60v single-stage snowblowers for many years up here in NE Ohio. They don't do well in the heavy wet icy snow but in regular snowfall they clear just fine. I'd love to have one of those yarbo's, but can't afford it. Congrats on all your gear!
I saw that the bigger Greenworks snowblower was on sale at Costco, but my 80v 20" Greenworks snowblower is still doing well. I was feeling pretty good about my decision to stick with the snowblower that I have… *but wow* …that bigger snowblower throws the snow pretty far. That looks like fun. 😄
Greenworks has been around for years and you can get parts for 10yr old tools today. The big 2 stage unit is all metal/AL for any of the mechanical parts. There is plastic for holding the batteries and the handle trim parts.
Use what on ice? You use the tools you have, if you have big ice banks you break it into chunks, often with a metal dirt shovel and then let the augers chew it up, serrated augers can help a little🤷♂️

@@jbgearhead glad it works well for you.
You should try the Ego snow blower, there have some large 24” and 28” self propelled snow blowers with 2-7.5ah 56volt batteries
@allenpierce4575 good suggestion!

Yes the smaller battery ones are a great option for lighter snow days
My 80 V. Greenworks snowblower is perfect for the walkways around my house. For the driveways, I use the tractor! Perfect as a duo...
@PaleojayBowers I agree, in fact that was my main setup before Yarbo and testing out this new 80v 2-stage one!

@@PhoticsTV its all fun until you realize you blew snow all over the previously cleared driveway...lol
I have the 40 volt Greenworks snow blower. I only have a small drive and sidewalk area so I think it will be fine.
I wonder how hard it will be to get replacement parts for it in the near future and how much plastic is used? $1600 is pretty steep for a snowblower.

You wouldn't use them on ice packed piles. Not for normal conditions.

You will reck a gas snow thrower on snow banks.
