MAJOR changes to SNO Power Plows

What happens here

Rick clarifies the placement of the trip cylinder. In the new design, the trip cylinder is moved to the top of the blade, connecting to the frame, rather than at the bottom. This re-positioning, along with a larger diameter and mono-push design, offers improved leverage and reduced pressure requirements. The integrated accumulator within the cylinder further simplifies the system, eliminating external components and making it more efficient.

Goal: Understand the improved placement and design of the trip cylinder.

What they say

another cylinder and I drew from my back blade time on how the lift cylinder is horizontal this one lifts faster and 2 in Higher One Two stacked on top of each other the bottom one is just a great big one it's it's the biggest one we've ever built it's 3 in in diameter and that is a mono push cylinder instead of two push cylinders we replace two which eliminated a lot of hoses and crossovers to get them tied together and that works better so everything is clean okay what about your connection system so you've got you can connect to a boss you can connect to Western and your boss connection system has been pretty good it's been great yeah yeah I mean we've had zero issues with boss right zero issues with but we had nothing but issues with the Western absolutely terrible terrible mounts I it it's on me I'm trying to make them separate this is what we fixed for uh our last version this is bulletproof now you can see how it's tied together the old one was literally just this piece and I was trying to make it strong enough but now that we have all this with this gusset you haven't had any problem with this one we hav been plowing much snow but but I can already tell that how the other one was independent with that structure that came across the bottom and tied in this full tubed in frame right there as soon as I seen that I was like gosh I'm excited to try it but haven't had a chance yet right the three hours I did with it was great our big what and 3 hours still push um is this has that stayed the same
