QA Snow plow

   / QA Snow plow #11  
I plow commercial lots with my tractor and I had an ingersol (bobcat) 84" plow.I sold it and bought a push box.I would never buy a skid steer plow again unless it had at least 5 degrees of oscillation built into it.If it doesnt have it when you angle it the plow is no longer level with the pavement and you leave material behind that you have to go over again.There are several company's making ss plows with oscillation designed into them.

I definitely want one that oscillates.

im confused what you mean by oscillation. When i shif my plow either right or left, there is no rist in elevation on either end. I have checked it while the plow is on a concrete slab.

The plow will "float" side to side so it will set level when you angle it or follow the ground contours.

There should be enough slop in the pivot axis to allow some of that naturally...

Most don't have enough slop to make it work properly,thats why snow wolf,boss,hiniker, Kage and many more all design oscillation into their plows.It's a very useful,time saving feature.

If I went with a v-blade how many hose would it take to operate it?

Here is the plow I got. It is a 84" edge. With both blades on the tractor it is over 20' long. It is new I
did not realize I splashed mud on it when I hosed it off.

Hey no fair! You bought that! :) Couldn't find an old plow to fix up? I know you said you were having no luck there. Buying new is nice, especially if you are the kind of person who keeps everything in good repair and condition. It will last you forever that way. Looks nice! Pretty compact unit.
