Details: FallLine Polyurethane ATV/UTV Snowplow Edge – 72″x4″x.75 Blank

Brand: FallLine

FallLine Polyurethane ATV/UTV Snow Plow Edges are ideal for plow owners looking for a cutting edge that minimizes surface damage and offers a longer service life than steel edges. Polyurethane edges are resilient, and therefore absorb impacts and conform to the surface being plowed rather than damaging the plowing surface. Due to the resiliency, Polyurethane cutting edges absorb vibrations and impacts, and as a result are very quiet in operation. Cutting edge is offered without holes or hardware, so that it can be drilled to fit any 72” ATV/UTV plow (This edge IS NOT for use on pickup plows). Edges include mounting instructions and are manufactured in the USA.

Buyer Guide Snow Plows

 Snowplows are one of the most useful winter accessories out there.

• Capacity. Snowplows mean different things to different people. For example, a 10-inch plow may be ideal for a residential driveway, but a 12-inch plow may be ideal for a commercial parking lot.
• Width. Width affects plowing capacity. A plow that’s 12 inches wide will clear more snow in comparison to the one that’s 10 inches wide.
• Turning Radius. Most plows allow you to turn them in any direction.
• Height. Most plows adjust between 30 inches and 60 inches.
• Weight. Plows weigh from 60 pounds to 150 pounds or more, depending on the model.

 

How to choose Snow Plows

When choosing a snow plow, there are a few important factors to keep in mind:

• The size and width of the snow plow. Snow plows with wider blades and more aggressive plowing can cut through more snow in less time. Still, it’s important to keep in mind how wide the snow plow is in relation to your vehicle.
• The height of the snow plow. Snow plows typically range from four to eight feet in height.
• The weight. Snow plows can vary in weight from 300 to 500 pounds.
• The blade width. Snow plow blades are usually between three and four feet wide. If you have narrow shoulders, you may need a wider blade.
• The blade angle. The angle of the blade of a snow plow is important, as it can help direct snow in different directions. Angles can range from 15 and 45 degrees.
• The plowing pattern. Plowing patterns include straight, diagonal, and curved.
• The plow width. The width of the plows can range from 30 to 60 inches.
• Blade material. Blades are usually made of steel or aluminum.
• The plow controls. Plow controls typically include a throttle, a parking brake, and a singular lever.
• The plow attachment. The plow attachment is the part that attaches to the snow plow.
• The plow manufacturer. Snow plow manufacturers include Ariens, Bobcat, Husqvarna, SnowEx, and Toro.
• The plow warranty. It’s important to check the warranty of any new snow plow you consider purchasing.
