Increasingly popular in the UK, dual-stage snow-blowers like this fine example from Italian brand Oleo-Mac are a fast, low-effort way to keep drives & pathways clear during the winter period. The Oleo-Mac Artik 56 boasts a two-stage turbine system with unmerciless toothed blades that will cut-through & churn-up compacted snow without problem. The broken-up snow is then ejected up to 12m clear of the machine via a 190˚ height-adjustable & 70˚ vertically-adjustable discharge-chute. Driving the Oleo-Mac Artik 56 Dual-Stage Snow Blower is a very high-powered 182cc Loncin overhead-valve engine that’s been specifically designed to cope with sub-zero temperatures. A set of deep-tread Snow Hog tyres provide essential traction on icy surfaces; while Oleo-Mac’s provision of five forward-speeds & two reverse works to maximise manoeuvrability. Also featured are adjustable sliders, which enable you to adjust your working height to suit conditions, & so protect the turbines & the ground from damage.
