The CD pusher attaches to small tractors, skid- steers and wheel loaders for clearing lots, sidewalks and driveways. The Sno-Pusher features a sectional moldboard with 24-inch-wide spring-loaded trip-edge sections and a steel cutting edge. This unique design allows each section to move up and down independently, enabling the pusher to effectively contour to uneven surfaces and remove snow in dips and depressions on the first pass. Bolt-on mechanical side panels protect the equipment, pusher and operator, and the Slip-Hitch system automatically adjusts the pusher for enhanced productivity. Designed for equipment weighing as much as 5,000 pounds, the CD pusher is available in three sizes including 6-, 8- and 10-foot-wide models. BOBCAT SNOW PUSHER ATTACHMENT Collect and push snow — and clear big-time winter jobs — with the Bobcat snow pusher attachment. The open bottom and wide body deliver pure pushing power for maximum snow removal speed and efficiency. And with more collecting and holding capabilities, larger areas can be cleaned without stopping as often. Flotation and oscillation of the moldboard keep the snow pusher in contact with the ground without damaging equipment or property, allowing for snow removal over decorative and sensitive surfaces. When operating on terrain that isn't perfectly flat, allow the blade to float for following ground contours and collecting more snow. When powering through snow on flat surfaces, keep blade position fixed for clearing hard-packed snow and ice. BOSS EXT This winter, BOSS Snowplow is restoring order to the expandable plow category with the company's first offering in this category — the BOSS EXT. The EXT quickly adapts to all plowing needs, expanding from 8 to 10 feet and back, all by the touch of a controller. That width — combined with angled, forward-pitched wings — means larger amounts of snow can be moved faster. BOSS engineers have spent years designing and perfecting the EXT to be both tough and versatile, to ensure the plow could do it all. Forward-pitched wings provide enhanced windrowing capabilities, allowing the EXT to take wider passes, carrying and moving more snow more efficiently. Like all members of the BOSS product family, the EXT features a chainless lift system and a fully enclosed, high-performance hydraulics system, making the EXT's performance fast, reliable and extremely responsive. CASE INTRODUCES NEW SECTIONAL SNOW PUSHERS CASE Construction Equipment introduced a new line of six heavy- and light-duty sectional snow pushers compatible with both current and older model wheel loaders, skid-steers, compact track loaders and backhoes. The independent moldboard sections move independently, allowing each section to shift up and down in response to uneven pavement or obstacles. The light-duty models, designed for compact equipment and backhoes, feature pushers up to 13-feet wide. The heavy-duty line offers pushers up to 17-feet wide for full-sized wheel loaders. The new CASE pushers are also compatible with competitive equipment and allow a snow removal contractor to standardize on a single type/style of pusher across their fleet. Each pusher features a Hardox 450 steel cutting edge that scrapes cleanly down the pavement and, if obstacles are encountered, only a single section of the pusher is lifted off the ground. CAT SNOW PUSHES Cat Snow Pushes are designed for moving snow in a wide range of applications. Removing snow from any surface is safely and efficiently completed with various widths of the Cat Straight Snow Push without Trip. Cutting edges are bolt-on, reversible, and easily replaceable. Available in rubber, the Straight Snow Push without Trip cutting edges cut down to the plowed surface and remove as much snow as possible. Rubber edges minimize the chance of damage to the plowed surface. Optional back drag equipped with rubber or steel edge allows snow to be pulled away from loading docks, doors, and other tight spaces. The Cat Straight Snow Pushes without Trip are ideal for snow removal contractors clearing large parking lots, roads, and other paved surfaces.
