Great question—and the size of snow pusher you need depends on a few key things:
❄️ 1. What Are You Clearing?
➤ Sidewalks or Small Driveways
- 18″ to 24″ wide is usually perfect.
- Easier to control and maneuver in tight spaces.
➤ Two-Car Driveways or Small Parking Areas
- 24″ to 30″ is a good middle-ground.
- Gives decent coverage but still manageable to push.
➤ Large Driveways, Lots, or Commercial Use
- 36″ or wider, or even an attachment for an ATV or truck.
- These big boys are for heavy-duty work and big areas.
2. Your Strength & Height Matter
- If you’re shorter or don’t want to strain your back, go smaller—easier to lift and control.
- Taller folks can often handle wider pushers more comfortably.
️ 3. Snow Type
- Light, fluffy snow? Bigger blade is fine.
- Wet, heavy snow? Go smaller—harder to push when it’s heavy!
Pro Tips:
- A pusher-style shovel is better for just pushing snow.
- If you need to scoop and toss, get one with a curved blade or hybrid design.
