When The Snow Must Go
Six snowplows to clear a path this winter
It seems like snow can fall almost anywhere these days. (Hello, southern Texas?) So when it comes time to clear winter’s indiscretion from your driveway, parking lot (or even helping out the county road department), we all can take a lesson from geographies where snow removal is a frequent winter chore—the Northeast, Upper Midwest, and the Mountain West.
They know how to get the job done, thanks to generations of regular annual snowfall and snow removal behind them.
Yes, there snow blowers and other means of moving snow out of the way, but the bottom line is this: When it really snows, and you have a lot of roadway to clear, you need a snowplow.
Whether it is fitted to your pickup truck, SUV, UTV, or your tractor, moving large quantities of snow is best handled with a plow, putting your vehicle’s horsepower and weight to work for you.
Let’s take a look at some of those more effective, durable, and easy to use.
MEYER
The HomePlow by Meyer
The HomePlow offers a fast, safe and effective way to move snow. It conveniently attaches to a SUV, light pickup, ATV or UTV with Quick Link, an easy-to-use mounting system that enables the plow to be attached/detached in under a minute, without the use of equipment or tools. HomePlow also features Auto-Angling for right and left movement of the plow with force from the weight of the snow. The full-power mode features hydraulic controls to move the plow up, down, left and right.
