The Snow Joe SJ905 Snow Blower is powered by an engine that Snow Joe designed themselves. It’s a 0.18 liter, 4 stroke, OHV Snow Joe Power engine that uses gasoline. As it’s a 4 stroke, it negates the need for the operator to mix the gasoline and oil. The operator merely needs to add the oil and gasoline separately and then the engine will do the mixing itself. This engine is air cooled. It’s remarkably easy to start, even in very cold conditions thanks to it’s use of compression release technology. Like most snowblowers that are currently on sale, the SJ905 can be started by a choice of systems. The first is an electric starter system, where the operator plugs in the machine to the mains electricity and simply pushes a button to start it. The other is the old fashioned pull cord, recoil system.

The Snow Joe SJ905 snowblower has a fuel tank that can hold up to 1.9 liters (0.5 US gallons) of gasoline. This will allow it to work continuously for over an hour without needing to be refilled. The SJ905 can clear up snow at a rate of up to 907.2 kg/min (2000lbs per minute). This is thanks to it’s 0.61 (24 inches) clearing width and intake height of 0.53 m (21 inches).

Inside this 24 inch snowblower is the auger. This has a diameter of 0.3 m (12 inches) and is made from steel. It has serrated edges which easily cuts through heavily compacted snow and ice. This snow then gets passed towards the center of the Snow Joe SJ905 snow thrower. Here the 12 inch, steel impeller quickly chops up the snow further while at the same time expelling it from the machine by channeling it through the chute. The chute on this 0.61 m (24 inches) snowblower from Snow Joe is made from steel for strength and is controlled remotely from the operator’s station via a joystick.
