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

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.

How to maintain Snow Plows

Snow plows are an important piece of machinery for any snow removal company. Snow plows are specifically made for efficiently moving large amounts of snow that have accumulated on a road.

Snow plows generally consist of a large blade on the front, a chain or sprocket on the back, and a set of large wheels to roll the plow along. Snow plows can be powered by diesel fuel, gasoline, or electricity, and each vehicle type has its advantages and disadvantages.

Diesel-fueled vehicles are generally more powerful and can plow through snow more quickly than gasoline vehicles, but diesel is more expensive and pollutes the air. Gasoline-powered vehicles are slightly cheaper, but their power is more restricted. Electric-powered vehicles are the cheapest option, but their limited range makes them impractical.

In addition to the vehicle type, there are other important features you should consider when purchasing a snow plow.

• The blade: The blade on your vehicle is important and should be replaced regularly. Blades can be made out of steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Steel and stainless steel blades are less expensive but require more frequent sharpening. Aluminum blades are more expensive but require less frequent sharpening.
• The plow: The type of plow on your vehicle can have a big effect on its performance. The two main types of plows are straight and angled. Straight plows plow straight down and are most commonly used in residential areas. Angled plows move from side to side, and are most commonly used in commercial areas.
• Hydraulics: Hydraulics allow the plow to move up or down, from side to side, or spin. Most snow plows come with hydraulics, but be sure to check before you buy. Hydraulics are important because they allow you to adjust the height of the blade from 0 to 2 feet, which allows you to clear snow from even the narrowest of roads.
