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 buying snow plows, it’s important to weigh different factors and choose the one that best fits your needs.

• What is the weight of your snow? The bigger the snow, the bigger the snow plow you will need. You should invest in a plow that is designed to handle a heavier amount of snow.
• What is the shape of the plow? Some plows, such as V-shaped plows, are better at clearing snow from hills.
• What is the length of your plow? The longer the plow, the more snow it will be able to clear at a time.
• Does it have an angled blade? Angled plow blades are better at pushing snow back down the hill.
• Can you adjust the blade? A plow with an adjustable angle and position will allow you to adjust the blade angle depending on your needs.
• Does the plow have an adjustable blade? Adjusting the angle of the blade is especially important in rural areas, as there may be uneven terrain.
• Does it have skid plates? Skid plates protect the blade from damage.
• Can you choose between hydraulic and electric? Hydraulic lift brakes are easier to use, but electric lift brakes are more cost-effective.
• Can you choose between forward and reverse? With forward, the plow clears the snow in front of the blade. With reverse, the plow clears the snow behind the blade.

How to maintain Snow Plows

 Snow plowing can take a toll on your vehicle, which is why many snow plow companies will suggest scheduling maintenance checks before winter sets in. Before heading out to the shop, take a look at these tips from Consumer Reports on maintaining your snow plow:

• Make sure your snow plow is in good working order before winter arrives by inspecting the blades for cracks or chips. You should also inspect all of the lift mechanisms, including the auger, chute, and winch.
• Check all of the hydraulic lines for signs of leaks, and be sure to have the snow plow fluids changed.
• Inspect the tires and wheels for signs of wear, including cracks, bulges, or holes.
• Check the lamps and reflectors to make sure they’re in working order.
• Make sure the plow is operating properly.
• Check the hydraulic system and fluid level.
• Fill the hydraulic system with clean, new fluid.
• Inspect the hydraulic system again before winter.
• Reinstall the plow according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Check to make sure the plow is in good working order before winter.
• Clean the plow prior to storing it.
• Cover the plow to protect it from the elements.
• Move your plow over to a shaded area.
• Move the plow into a shed or covered area, if possible.
• Remove the plow during the winter and store it in a shed or covered area until spring.
