The Craftsman 28 Inch Dual Stage Snow Blower can be purchased with a choice of 2 motors. The first is a 0. 28 liter engine, while the other engine has a 0. 25 liter displacement and is made by Briggs and Stratton. Both engines are 4-strokes, which is great as it means you never have to worry about fumbling around on freezing cold mornings trying to get the right mixture of fuel and oil. Instead, just add both separately and let the engine do the mixing itself. The suction lift of this snow blower is 0. 71 m (28 inches).
The curved, auger steel blade on the Craftsman 28-inch 2-stage snowblower begins the snow removal process by very quickly chipping and breaking up snow. Due to the rotation of the auger, this snow moves towards the center of the machine, where it meets the impeller. The impeller is 0. 3 m (12 in) in diameter and quickly and efficiently sucks up snow and then spits it out of the chute. The chute on this Craftsman snowthrower is made of polymer, not steel. This polymer helps resist clogging. The chute can rotate 180 degrees allowing the operator to always have a direction in which to aim the blown snow.
Going forward, the Craftsman 28-inch dual-stage snowthrower has 6 speeds. But when it is traveling in reverse it has only 2 gears. Starting the engine is through a choice of either plugging it in and pushing a button or giving the mitt-grip recoil system and a few yanks. The total weight of this Craftsman snow blower comes to 99. 8 kg (220 pounds).
