The one on the right (red machine) was EXACTLY How I remembered my experience with my previous 520.
I would not even attempt to use it on a ~wall~ as I knew it's limits.
On wet, heavy, 1-2 inch stuff that you saw in that video, it would just dribble or spit out 6-8 inches out the chute.
Pretty useless....
I could Dance with the Single Stage in every other aspect of the snow - it's just the EOD that kills you.
So for all you guys out there debating whether you want/need a 2 stage or single, consider the EOD and the sheer differences - metal vs rubber augers, the effects of the EOD and metal vs rubber augers, and how it will throw that EOD snow. I feel like I'm preaching to the choir, but I think this is one of the 1st youtube video that I've come across that shows even a *BASIC* low level decent 2 stage machine can do with wet snow as opposed to a single stager. YMMV, but this video really brought to heart why I knew deep down I needed a 2 stager when I originally had my heart set on a single stage
