We have Tons of Heavy wet snow to plow- comparing snow pushers

What happens here

A closer look at the Arctic Sectional Snow-Pusher reveals its bolted construction, which allows for easy replacement of individual moldboard sections. This 'survivability' feature means that if one section is damaged, it can be unbolted and replaced without having to replace the entire plow, making repairs more affordable and efficient. Lucas demonstrates how these bolts and poly blocks can be accessed and replaced. The plow is explicitly stated to be 'MADE IN THE USA' in Kankakee, Illinois, using US steel.

Goal: Understand the advantages of Arctic's modular, bolted design for longevity and easy maintenance.

Tools and materials

  • Arctic Sectional Snow-Pusher Arctic — Demonstrating bolted construction, replaceable poly blocks, and sectional moldboards
  • Bolts N/A — Securing the modular components of the snow pusher
  • Poly Blocks N/A — Part of the modular design that can be replaced

What they say

Hide

remove these bolts unbolt all the poly blocks and then exchange at Wilbur now and that's what's so great about the survivability component of this plow is it's never driving down the road and they hit black ice and they hit things and they bend the frame of their fly but frame on and the the plow is still useful it's never a total loss it's a lot more affordable in long these files from the early nineties they're still fluctuating today actually they're still piling snow plan the company name act and they started off with no trip edges and then he converted them over because all those parts would convert over and they're still running today all the sectionals the light duties and the heavy duties alike all operate on the same system they're pulling together they're made to survive if one component gets damaged you can replace it quite affordably your competition is saying that those pucks are a weak point of your design so back in the day we used to have thinner blocks and it used to be a problem we can't I ran into some issues with sir suppliers on the blocks I mean since then found a much more dependable supplier and we have changed in thicknesses one of the first one of the first differences you can see is the black on the top is thinner than the black on the bottom and that is really
