 Snow plows are an important piece of equipment for many property managers but finding the right one can be tricky. Read on for some tips to help you choose the perfect snow plow for your properties.

• What type of plow is right for your property? There are several types of snow plows, each with distinct benefits. For example, a blade plow is inexpensive but causes more damage to turf, sidewalks, and driveways than other types of plows. A box plow, on the other hand, is more expensive but less aggressive on hard surfaces.

• How heavy is the snow? Snow plows can vary widely in weight. Heavy snow may require a heavy-duty plow, while a light-duty plow can handle lightweight snow.
• How large is your property? Many plows are specifically designed for large properties, while others work for smaller properties.
