<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, to explain the single stage vs two stage snow
movin' machines while not getting too technical:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you usually find all electric ones as single stage,
which means the motor turns the augers with just enough force to "throw" the
snow up the chute and away. The two stage machines - gas engines - will drive
not only the augers, but also an impeller or fan like device which picks up the
augered, loose snow and "blow" it out the chute. So, since the engine
operates both, thats why you get the "two-stage" moniker.</FONT></DIV>

but its a personal choice.</FONT></DIV>
