A Guide to Buying a Snow Plow
Before winter sets in, you’ll probably want to buy a sturdy piece of snow removal equipment for your large commercial project. Or you may want to upgrade your old snow plow at home to the latest model. In either case, we have got you covered.
Refer to our buying guide to learn about a few considerations you’ll want to make while purchasing a snow plow. When you’re ready to look at a few options yourself, come down to Stan’s Equipment in Pine City, MN, where we happily welcome our friends from Minneapolis and St. Cloud.
Consider Your Plowing Vehicle
While buying a snow plow, the first factor you’ll want to consider is the weight handling capacity of your plowing vehicle. Take into account the front gross axle weight rating (FGAWR) of your vehicle to figure out your limit for the weight of the snow plow blade. A larger blade will be heavier, and you’ll need a higher FGAWR to operate it safely.
If you’re working on a smaller project that uses smaller plows, a half-ton truck should be ideal for you. However, if your commercial work requires more powerful equipment, you’ll likely need at least a 3/4-ton pickup truck with a high FGAWR to handle a large snow plow.
Straight vs. V-Blade Plows
The other choice you’ll want to make is whether to choose a straight or a V-blade. Though both can get your work done, there are a few key differences that you’ll want to know.
Straight snow plow blades are cheaper and simpler to operate, and therefore they are more commonly used for smaller projects. On the other hand, a V-blade comes with multi-position capabilities, making it an ideal tool for professionals looking at different snow plowing options. A few advantages of a V-blade plow are the option to set the blades in scoop mode and the ability to scrape frozen snow off of surfaces easily.
