Buyer Guide Snow Plows
Choosing the right snow plow for your needs isn’t always easy, but follow this guide and you’ll be sure to make the right choice.- Snow Plows: Snow plows are versatile tools that come in two basic types: front-mounted and back-mounted. Front-mounted plows are also known as front runners, while back-mounted plows are also known as rippers.
- Snow Plow Types. Front-mounted snow plows are also known as front runners.
- Snow Plow Types. Back-mounted snow plows are also known as rippers.
- Front-Mounted Snow Plows. Front-mounted snow plows, also known as front runners, are compact, lightweight, and streamlined. The most common front-mounted snow plow is the plow frame.
- Back-Mounted Snow Plows. Back-mounted snow plows, also known as rippers, are bigger and heavier than front-mounted snow plows. The most common back-mounted snow plow is the floating frame.
- Floating Frame. The floating frame is a type of back-mounted snow plow that rotates around the plow frame, rather than moving from side to side.
How to choose Snow Plows
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.
- What type of plow do you need? You likely need more than one snow plow, depending on your property. For example, you may need a blade plow for driveways and a box plow for parking lots.
- What type of plow can you afford? Snow plows can be expensive, but you can find affordable options to do the job.
- What type of plow do you need for snow removal? Some plows are better for snow removal than others. For example, if you have a lot of ice, you may want to invest in a plow that is specially adapted for removing ice.
- 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.
- Are you local? Many plows need to be hauled by truck, which requires special licensing. If you are local, you may be able to rent the plow you need from a local shop.
- Do you need a plow that can be attached to your truck? Some plows can be maneuvered by truck, while others must be towed behind a truck.
How to maintain Snow Plows
Snow plows are essential tools for keeping roads clear during the winter season. However, they can be dangerous if they are not maintained properly.- Inspect plows regularly. Snow plows should be inspected at least weekly to ensure that they are safe to use.
- Replace worn parts. Over time, snow plows can become worn and damaged. Many parts can be easily replaced by professional mechanics.
- Fill in holes and cracks. Snow plows can plow into holes and cracks in the road, causing large chunks of ice to become dislodged. These large chunks of ice can endanger drivers on the road. These areas should be filled in with a material such as sand, gravel, or salt to prevent this.
- Change the oil. Over time, oil can break down and become less effective. Poorly maintained oil can cause snow plows to become less effective, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Change spark plugs. Snow plows use spark plugs to ignite the fuel. These plugs can become worn out over time or can break down. Uneven ground or debris can clog the spark plugs, causing them to burn out.
- Drain antifreeze. Antifreeze is used to prevent freezing in snow plows. Over time, antifreeze can break down and begin to lose its ability to effectively prevent freezing. In order to prevent this, antifreeze should be drained and replaced every few years.
- Remove snow. Snow can be extremely heavy, and it can cause snow plows to become unbalanced, which can increase the risk of accidents. To avoid this, the snow should be removed before snow plows can be used.
- Clean the plow. In order to prevent corrosion and rust from forming, snow plows should be cleaned regularly. Greasy and muddy areas should be cleaned regularly.
