Slicing hard pack with the Arctic Snow wing

What happens here

The skid steer with the attached plow is operated to demonstrate the various plow configurations. The presenter shows the plow in a straight position, then transitions to a containment mode (pusher), and finally an angled plowing position. He notes that the wings do not fold completely backward, which is a design decision further explained in a later step. The plow is then used to push snow, demonstrating its effectiveness in moving significant volumes.

Goal: Visually observe the plow's ability to switch between configurations and effectively move snow.

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Skid Steer ASV — Operating the plow
  • Snow N/A — Testing the plow's effectiveness

What they say

Cutting Edge one thing to note the wings do not fold all the way back they'll go straight they'll go into containment and the entire flower will angle and I'm going to ask the engineer that developed this why they won't fall back in just a moment all right let's put her into a real test and start moving some snow okay so there's one other thing that we need to bring up they've got two sizes this is the smaller size the swld8 and let's go eight seven in Pusher mode up to 11 10 in plow mode and weighs 1900 pounds the next size up goes eleven one in Pusher mode that means fully contained up to 14 and a half foot in plow mode and that weighs 2150 pounds
