General Operating Instructions
Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s
Manual, completed the operating checklist, and properly
attached your Land Pride Snow Pusher
to your tractor,
you are about ready to begin work. The Snow Pusher
is
ideal for pushing snow off of driveways, parking lots, or
any other areas you want cleared of snow. They also can
be used to help clear soft materials from areas such as
feed lots, grain floors, etc.
Hopefully, you have checked out your work site for any
obstructions that you do not want to damage or to
encounter. Remove or flag any obstructions before
beginning your work. Check skid shoe adjustment to
make sure they are carrying the blade at grade level or
higher when wanting to avoid surface obstructions such
as raised concrete joints, crushed rocks, gravel, etc.
The Snow Pusher’s primary purpose is to move snow or
other loose materials and pile it up. This function is best
done at an approximate 2 to 4 MPH ground speed.
Simply lower the Snow Pusher until it is resting on the
skid shoes and proceed forward. The blade should
immediately begin collecting snow or other loose
materials between the side panels and clearing an area
in front of you. You can transfer this material by pushing it
forward to a nearby location and then raising the Snow
Pusher to deposit your load. As the discharge pile builds,
you will want to tilt the top to the hitch back to push the
product up and onto the pile.
If using the pull back option, extend the loader hitch tilt
cylinders until the bottom edge of the pull back frame is
parallel with the paved surface. Lower the Snow Pusher
to carry the pull back blade slightly above the snow.
Slowly approach the snow close to a wall or garage door
making sure you stop before getting too close. Lower pull
back until its blade and frame are resting on the paved
surface. Making sure no one is behind you, start backing
up to pull snow away. Keep backing up until you have
pulled the snow far enough that you can now remove the
pile by pushing the pile forward with the Snow Pusher.
Achieving the desired effect will require a little
experimentation and experience for your given condition.
With a little practice, you should become a very good
operator consistently achieving the desired results you
expect with your Land Pride Snow Pusher.

information and performance enhancing options.
Operating Tip:
Operate Snow Pusher with skid
shoes making full contact with the ground from front
to back. Don’t apply a lot of down pressure on the
skid shoes. If available, operate with loader arms in
float.
