The Husqvarna ST230 dual stage snow thrower is designed for homeowners who need a high-performing gas snow blower to clear snow from large driveways and paths. An efficient two-stage system delivers plenty of throwing capacity, while power steering and a friction-disc transmission ensure smooth operation. This 30 in 2-stage snow blower features a heavy-duty ribbon auger that mixes air into the snow, helping the impeller fan churn through frozen or wet snow and generate increased snow throwing distance. This self propelled snow blower has an interlock handle for quick and easy operation, heavy-tread X-trac tires for increased traction and an LED headlight that illuminates a 50% larger area than traditional incandescent lights to clear snow in early mornings and late evenings. Electric starting via a power outlet connection allows for an easy push-button startup. Husqvarna snow throwers work with a wide range of parts and accessories, from tire chains to drift cutter kits.
