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

 Snow plow accessories can help to make snow plowing easier. For example, a snow plow attachment that attaches to the back of your truck can make it easier for you to push a snowplow.

However, it’s important not to buy attachments for your snow plow that you don’t need. For example, if you have a 4-wheel-drive truck, you probably don’t need a front-mounted snow plow attachment.

When it comes to snow plow attachments, the most important considerations are the size and weight of your snow plow. This means that it’s essential that you know how much area your snow plow can clear before you decide what accessory to buy.

Most truck-mounted snow plow attachments have a 20–24-foot clearing width. This means that if you have a 24-foot snow plow, you should buy a snow plow attachment with a 20-foot clearing width.

You should also consider the weight of the snow plow attachment. Most snow plow attachments weigh between 40 and 50 pounds, so anything heavier than this may not be practical.

 

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.
