OPERATING YOUR SNOWPLOW
3. Bite into the edges using only a partial blade
width until the job is cut down to size for
full‑blade plowing.
Rule of thumb:
6" (15 cm) of snow – plow with entire blade width;
9" (23 cm) of snow – plow with 3/4 blade width;
12" (30 cm) of snow – plow with 1/2 of the blade.
For POWER PLOW™ blades in
BUCKET BLADE™ position, plow all depths
with entire blade width.
Experience and "feel" are the best guides.
4. When plowing deep snow, be sure to keep
vehicle moving.
5. Ballast is suggested for maximum traction.
Secure ballast behind the rear axle. Do not
exceed the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR.
6. For increased traction, use tire chains
where legal.
Clearing Driveways
1. Head into the driveway with the blade angled
and plow the snow away from any buildings.
Widen the driveway by rolling snow away from
any buildings.
2. If a building is at the end of the driveway, plow
to within a vehicle length of the building. Push
as much snow as possible off the driveway.
3. With a raised blade, drive through the
remaining snow to the building. Drop the
blade and back drag the snow away from the
building at least one vehicle length. Repeat if
necessary.
4. Back the vehicle up to the building and plow
forward, removing the remaining snow from
the driveway. Check municipal ordinances for
proper disposal of snow.
