EquipmentWorld.com | August 2017 63 snow clearing attachments | by Marcia Gruver Doyle | MGruver@randallreilly.com Poly-lined chute prevents snow clogging Attaching to skid steers and compact track loaders, the Volvo Construction Equipment snow blower has a two-stage hydraulic blower that is controlled inside the cab. The poly-lined chute ensures the blower will not become clogged with packed snow, according to the company. The high-volume chute throws snow up to 45 feet. The blower has replaceable tapered wear edges for easier maintenance. The adjustable skid shoes are designed to perform in all weather conditions. The unit uses either a single auger motor for standard flow or dual auger motors for high-flow situations. Snow clearing attachments Case Construction Equipment's six-model line of heavy- and light-duty sectional snow pushers is compatible with both current and older model wheel loaders, skid steers, compact track loaders and backhoes. The moldboard sections move independently, allowing each section to shift up and down in response to uneven pavement or obstacles. The light-duty models go up to 13 feet wide; the heavy- duty models top out at 17 feet wide. Each pusher has a Hardox 450 steel cutting edge that scrapes cleanly down the pavement, and if obstacles are encountered, only a single section lifts off the ground, helping reduce instances of property damage. If a section becomes damaged, the modular design lets you replace just that section instead of the entire pusher. Blade sections shift up and down in response to obstacles
