January 5, 2026On The Way Outdoor

When winter hits, it doesn’t take long for snow and ice to turn your driveway or sidewalk into a full-body workout you didn’t sign up for. That’s where MTD, a trusted name in outdoor power equipment, makes all the difference. Whether you're preparing for the first snowfall or gearing up for the depths of winter, the right tools can save you time, reduce strain, and keep you safe in slippery conditions.

Below are the top MTD snow and ice gear must-haves—reliable, powerful, and built to tackle winter head-on.


MTD offers a range of snow blowers designed for different snowfall levels and property sizes—from compact single-stage models to powerful three-stage machines.

Top Picks

• Single-Stage Snow Blowers
Perfect for smaller driveways and lighter snowfall. These models are lightweight, easy to maneuver, and great for everyday winter use.

• Two-Stage Snow Blowers
Ideal for moderate to heavy snow. They can handle packed snow, uneven terrain, and wider paths with ease.

• Three-Stage Snow Blowers
Built for serious winter warriors. These machines break through ice, deep drifts, and heavy, wet snow faster than traditional models.

Why They’re Must-Haves:
✔ Efficient snow clearance
✔ Durable, winter-ready engines
✔ Variety of sizes and power levels

When temperatures plummet, comfort matters. Heated hand grips and other MTD attachments can make long sessions outside much more tolerable.
