Auger options are not self-propelled, but will weigh much less compared to tracked snow blowers.

• Bucket size. The quality and efficiency of harvesting will depend on the size of the capture of snow masses, therefore this parameter is extremely important for professional equipment. When choosing the size of the bucket, it is worth considering that too large an angle of engagement will reduce the maneuverability of the devices, which will be relevant in small areas.
