TRUCK-PLOW-GRAPHIC

 

 

When purchasing a snowplow, many decisions need to be made. Will you be using this for commercial use or for your home? Are you plowing driveways, parking lots, or longer roads? Will you be doing a lot of back dragging away from garages? These questions will help you determine the right front or back blade that is right for you.

 

What major 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. Wiring, headlight adapters, and undercarriages are specific to vehicle make and model. 

 

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

CAST IRON PLOW SHOES

 

 

UTV-plowshoes

 

Cast iron plow shoes are easily attached to the bottom of your straight blade or v-plow.

Removing these before plowing on a more solid surface such as concrete is recommended. How quickly these 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.
