How do SNOWSPORT^® Utility Plows push snow without using hydraulics?

SNOWSPORT^® HD, LT and 180 Plows use a motion activated design. Drive forward, the snow plow blade slides up and down adjusting with the terrain. Back up, the personal plow blade tilts back and skims over the ground. Drive forward to re-engage the snow removal blade.

Will SNOWSPORT^® Utility Plows be able to plow heavy, wet snow?

Our plows can easily handle as much snow as your truck, tractor or skid steer will push before losing traction. If large amounts of snow are in the forecast, we recommend you plow periodically to stay ahead of the storm.

How fast can I drive during snow plow removal?

We recommend 5 mph when using a SNOWSPORT^® LT or 180 Utility Plow and 10 mph when using a SNOWSPORT^® HD Plow. When using a SNOWSPORT^® PRO Utility Blade on a compact tractor or skid steer, we recommend using the lowest transmission gear.

Is it hard to go from transporting to snow removal?

On the HD, LT and 180 Snow Plows, remove quick pins. Lift the snow shovel blade one end at a time and lower over push frame. Then reinsert quick pins. Once you are done plowing, simply reverse the process.

How do I install or remove the snowplow between jobs?

HD, LT and 180 Utility Plows push frame attaches to your snow removal vehicle using a 2 in. front or rear receiver, simply pull the hitch pin to remove. This also allows the snow plow assembly to quicky transfer in minutes from one vehicle to another.

The universal quick attach mounting interface on your loader or skid steer attaches to the PRO Utility Blades skid steer quick attach plates. Simply engage the quick attach mounting system to the skid steer plates.

What if I hit something while pushing snow with the truck plow?

In unfamiliar terrain, plow at a slower speed with caution. The self-adjusting SNOWSPORT^® HD, LT and 180 Utility Plow adjusts with the terrain, the rubber cutting edge will flex and pass over small obstacles. The SNOWSPORT^® Pro Snow Plow Blade for tractor features a rubber cutting edge that will also flex to pass over smaller obstacles.
