It’s October; in the Northeast, there have already been reports of light flurries. It won’t be long before most of the country is in the grips of winter, and frost belt states had better do their best to prepare before the real snow comes.
For many, this involves outfitting their skid steer and loaders with the best skid loader attachments for moving and clearing snow.
From clearing long driveways to keeping parking lots and rural roads clear, these are the best skid loader attachments for managing the worst of winter weather.
All of these are available for sale right now online at Spartan Equipment.
1. Snow Dozer Blades
Spartan Equipment sells snow dozer blades in a variety of sizes and configurations, with and without curved tops. Among them are 4-way angle blades, 6-way angle blades, and V-snow dozer blades.
Many of their snow blades are equipped with replaceable trip edge springs and skid shoes, as well as replaceable cutting edges; some models are equipped with replaceable rubber cutting edges that are ideal for clearing snow over surfaces where a lighter touch is required.
These snow dozer blades are simple, effective skid loader attachments that are specifically designed for pushing and clearing snow. V-snow dozer blades, especially, are effective for clearing a path through a wide, deep drift of snow.
While they are not specifically designed for heaping snow in a pile, in the hands of a skilled operator, they can be used to gather snow in one area for the purpose of maintenance and clearing.
2. Snow Buckets
Snow buckets are among the most versatile of snow-clearing skid loader attachments. Spartan Equipment’s snow and litter buckets, available in sizes ranging from 66” to 100” wide, can be used to clear and compile snow with ease.
These buckets are wide and deep; while they are not as efficient at excavation as other types of skid loader buckets, these are perfect for handling snow that is softer and generally lighter than earth.
If you have a wide area that nears clearing and you need to sequester the snow in (mostly) one area, snow buckets are probably the best skid loader attachment at your disposal. (Plus, Spartan Equipment’s are powder coated for extra durability and resistance to corrosion.)
3. Snow Pushers
Faster, more effective, and more specialized than a plow, Spartan Equipment’s snow pusher attachments enable quick and efficient clearing of wide open spaces like parking lots and other large areas.
Available in four sizes (72”, 84”, 96” and 120”), Spartan Equipment’s snow pusher attachments feature thick, adjustable, reversible and replaceable rubber edges that are perfect for clearing snow over paved surfaces and in other situations in which a lighter touch is necessary.
For skid loader operators looking to pair the versatility of snow dozer blades with snow buckets, snow pushers are the optimal solution.
