Tractor review - Case Skid Steer and Arctic Snowplow - A Bulletproof system

What happens here

This section highlights the snow pusher's impressive ability to float over obstacles without causing damage to the equipment or disrupting the entire snow load. It features individual moldboards with multiple trip edges that can raise up independently when encountering obstructions like manholes. This mechanism prevents the plow from snagging on fixed objects and ensures continuous, efficient operation while protecting both the equipment and the paved surfaces.

Goal: Clear snow over obstacles like manholes without damaging the plow or losing the snow load.
