FYI: single stage means wimpy deck snowblower. 2 stage is the typical blower you see everywhere. I have a single stage honda 5 hp that I bought brand new in Truckee for $500. It's great for decks, but on uneven pavement or heavy snow it does struggle.

Single stage: One set of augers that break up snow and shoot through funnel.

Two Stage: Two sets of augers that break up snow and send through a third auger/fan through funnel........way better.

Also, single stage are generally not self propelled.
