Plow Review Kage Snowplows in Action
What happens here
Familiarize yourself with the Kage system's trip-edge mechanism, which is designed to trip only the bottom edge of the plow upon impact with obstacles, rather than the entire moldboard. This design minimizes snow loss and allows the operator to maintain down pressure for constant scraping, crucial for thorough snow and ice removal. Unlike traditional systems with extension springs, the Kage system uses robust compression springs.
Goal: Prevent snow loss and maintain scraping efficiency with the trip-edge
