snow pusher / puller

dylan · Oct 6, 2007

My snow pusher box arrived the other day. It looks pretty good. The unit is build by Grattex in Quebec. It is 1000 lbs and starts at 6 feet wide. it can hydraulically extend out to 10 feet. Flip it over and it will pull out parking spots, etc. the pusher edge is stainless steel with a trip mechanism built in and the puller edge is plastic so as to not scratch up interlok or stamped concrete.
I did not have any snow to move today but it did a fine job on my drive.
It is above 2 feet shorter than the western (front to back) blade i used last year so it should keep the tc really nimble.

I have never seen a pusher/puller before. Really a nifty idea. The fact that it can widen is also great. I use a snow plow on the front of my CUT but can't get near buildings to pull out snow. I have a rear blade on the back for that. However, with plow on front and blade on back, the overall length is long and I need to be carefull not to hit anything. Your setup is much more compact.

here are a few close ups.

I looked at their website. It appears they also make a fixed width version. (cheaper than the hydraulic extend version) I am surprised more companies dont make theirs with the push/pull feature. You have one serious snow moving attachment. Fantastic.

Thanks, it really is a simple idea and surprising you don't see more of them.

Dylan, Nice looking unit! Do you have a link to their web site (in english)? Google is not coming up with it.

What did your run? Any idea what a fixed 6 or 7 ft width model would run?

Thanks, Rip

Thanks for the link MrJimi.....still can not find much useful information on their site....but the product may still be good.

Yeah, their website could use some improvement. the pusher was about $7500 or so. I actually traded a snowblower for it so i don't know the exact amount.
If you want more info ...

Thanks Dylan.....I figured it would be a bit much for my needs, even a fixed width is likely to be up there. I'm still planning to rig up a used PU type plow which I am sure will work just fine for me.

Traded in your blower, eh? Was it your Bobcat blower or another? Too slow? Problems? Just curious.

Good Luck
