A new Kind of Snowplow

What happens here

The internal mechanics of the rear plow have been significantly upgraded. A single lift cylinder now controls vertical movement, simplifying the hydraulic system. A new torsion bar replaces the previous spring-loaded system, working in conjunction with a rubber element. This design absorbs impact more effectively, preventing fatigue and wear on the blade when hitting obstacles like curbs or manhole covers. This 'tripping' feature allows the blade to give way upon impact, protecting the equipment and the paving.

Goal: Key internal upgrades to the rear plow include a single lift cylinder, a torsion bar, and a rubber element to enhance durability and performance, especially when encountering obstacles.

Tools and materials

  • Single Lift Cylinder
  • Sno-Power Rear Snow Plow
  • Torsion Bar with Rubber Element

What they say

Hide

>> Well, we went to a single lift cylinder and we went to a torsion instead of a spring blade. So, it's torsion down here. >> Okay. >> Um, we updated the hitch up here a little bit. You know, on and off. The wings no longer go 180. They're 135. >> Okay. >> And uh that's pretty much it. A lot of change though. >> One best thing. >> What's that? >> Trip. >> Well, yeah. The main board does trip now. When you push it in reverse, it will trip if you hit an obstacle curb. >> I'll go over a manual cover, but >> Oh, wow. >> Yeah, the whole blades beefier. The wings are beefier. >> New design box. >> I can see all of the upgrades that you have done. This is >> It's 5 years in the making. So >> five years of R&D and I didn't know about this. >> No, we kind of kept a tight lip. >> You did. You did. All right. Um, but give me some details on this. We before we go up front, I >> I want to make sure that these guys that are interested in this has the absolute best information possible. Okay. So, I do want to slow this down just a little bit. Let's look at this torsion bar in the back. Tell me about what's the point of this and how this works, right? So before we just had that spring plate and every once in a while the blade, you know, it fatigues. It wears out. Now we have the rubber in here. Okay. So now we're going to be on the rubber. You no longer have that springboard that you're just you're twisting the steel and it's just not good. Now we're on the rubber. It'll last a lot more. It'll pick up even every single time. >> Okay. But now is the snow power back
