Skid Steer Snow Attachments Preview: The Snow Plow
Snow attachments can help you get through winter easier than a hot knife dropped in a deep snow bank.
One of the best ways to plow through the winter is to use high quality skid steer snow attachments, like a snow plow. Plowing snow can be lucrative and provides a valuable service to your community.
As any skid steer operator knows that there is a big difference between good and excellent when it comes to snow attachments, and an excellent line of skid steer snow plows includes top-quality units that deliver excellent performance and durability season after season.
The Heavy Duty Series skid steer snow plows come in 7-, 8-, 9-, and 10-foot widths, and offer a wide array of unique and useful features. First and foremost, the overall construction of each plow is first-rate. Scratches and wear on regular steel mold boards would lead to rust and weaken the snow attachments, but the mold boards on these plows are made from heavy, rust-proof stainless steel.
The cutting edge on each of these skid steer snow plows is really two-in-one: a reversible, bolt-on design. Eight inches of 3/4-inch hardened steel across the entire width of the plow gives it phenomenal strength and rigidity.
Tripping a skid steer snow plow blade is always a concern, as many obstacles, like curbs, concrete lips, and other fixed objects are obscured by a heavy snowfall. These snow attachments include a trip feature, which protects the hidden object and the snow plow from extensive damage by allowing the blade to tip forward a certain distance and dampening the rebound.
The frames that support the snow attachments are powder-coated for protection from the elements, and side steps for further versatility are also included. Hydraulic controls allow the skid steer operator to adjust the blade’s angle side-to-side, and choose which side of the machine to deposit the snow. Adjustable skid shoes just behind the snow plow’s blade are included to reduce wear on the blade and to protect a graded surface beneath the snow.
The skid steer snow attachments are a terrific value, especially when it comes to the business of removing snow.
