Many factors need to be considered when deciding which snowplow is right for you. Will you be using this for commercial use or your home? Are you plowing smaller areas, driveways, parking lots, or longer roads? When deciding between a truck plow and ATV/UTV plow, these questions will help you consider what is right for you.

 

What significant components make up a snowplow? You get a blade crate and a plow box. The blade crate is composed of a blade on the straight blade, and on a v-blade, you get two blade halves and a center section. The plow box comprises a coupler tower with hydraulics, a light bar with lights, a push frame, and a quad (on straight blades only). Controls will be different depending on if it is a straight blade, v-blade, downforce enabled, expanding, and if it is a compact vehicle.

 

Read on to learn about some of the accessories available for your plow.

UTV-plowshoes

 

Cast iron plow shoes are easily attached to the bottom of your straight blade or v-plow. These shoes raise the blade slightly off the ground to help prevent the cutting edge from digging into the ground when plowing on gravel, dirt, or grass—removing these before plowing on a more solid surface such as concrete is recommended. How quickly the plow shoes wear is dependent on factors such as how often you plow, what material you plow on, how fast you plow, and how wet the surface is that you are plowing on.
