Buyer Guide Snow Plow Attachments & Accessories

 If you’re looking to buy a snow plow or want to upgrade your current plow, this guide is for you.

• Travel. Look for an American-made snow plow, as they’re generally more durable.
• Plow Width. Snow plows with larger widths are better for plowing through heavy, deep snow.
• Plow Weight. If you’re buying a used snow plow, check to make sure the previous owner didn’t overload it.
• Plow Weight Capacity. Look for a snow plow with a weight capacity that matches your vehicle’s weight.
• Plow Size. Be sure to select the proper size snow plow for your truck or SUV.
• Plow Attachments. Before buying a snow plow, make sure you know which attachments you need.
• Warranty. Some snow plows come with a warranty; others don’t.
• Accessories. Before buying a snow plow, check out the manufacturer’s website to see what accessories come with the unit.
• Price. Price varies by manufacturer, model, and size.
• Weight. Snow plows range in weight from 500 pounds to 900 pounds or more.

How to choose Snow Plow Attachments & Accessories

 When purchasing a snow plow, there are several important factors to consider:

• How big is your property? The length of the driveway and the amount of snow that your driveway receives will largely determine the type of snow plow that you will need.
• How much snow does it typically snow in your area? Snow plows that can handle heavy snow and ice accumulations are your best bet if you live in an area that receives a lot of snowfall.
• How much are you willing to spend? Snow plows range in price from $150-$2,000, with the most expensive options being designed for commercial snow removal.
• What kind of plow do you need? Snow plows can be attached to a variety of vehicles, including pickup trucks, ATVs, and UTVs, and there are a variety of attachments that are available to help plow through different types of snow.
• What type of blades do you need? Snow plows can have a variety of blade styles, including straight, curved, and combination. Straight blades are used for plowing snow, while combination blades are ideal for heavy-duty plowing.

How to maintain Snow Plow Attachments & Accessories

When maintaining your snow plow accessory, there are a few important steps to keep in mind:

• Check your brakes regularly. Your snow plow’s braking system should be checked regularly, especially during the winter, when all of the salt and debris on the roads can cause brake wear.
• Invest in snow plow tires. One of the snow plow accessories that tend to wear out first is the tires. As Tire Review noted, tires can lose their tread, making them less useful in clearing snow and ice. When purchasing snow plow tires, look for ones with solid sidewalls, which can provide better traction in icy conditions.
• Check your brake pads. Your brake pads tend to wear out faster than normal during the winter, as they’re constantly being pressed down by the snow and ice. To extend the life of your brake pads, make sure to change them regularly.
• Check your blades regularly. Snow plow blades tend to wear down faster during the winter, as they’re constantly being pressed into the snow. To extend the life of your blades, make sure to clean and sharpen them regularly.
• Check your transmission regularly. The transmission is responsible for transmitting the torque from your snow plow to the blade. As Consumer Reports noted, the transmission should also be checked regularly, as excessive snow can cause snow plows to slip out of gear.
• Keep your blades sharp. Blades can become dull over time, making them less effective at removing snow. To keep your blades sharp, store them in a box with a piece of cardboard (or newspaper) underneath it, and use a putty knife to shave off any snow buildup.
• Check your lights regularly. Snow plow lights may be damaged over time, causing them to stop working. By checking your lights regularly, you can make sure they are in working order, and less likely to fail when you’re plowing through snow.
