- How well does the rubber cutting edge hold up?

- How easy is a plow to hook up or un-hook between jobs?
- Its very easy. Just insert the push frame into the front receiver hitch and secure with pin. Then hang the blade one end at a time onto the push frame (can be done in less than a minute). Unhooking is just as easy.
- Do I need to paint the blade to keep it looking good?
- No, the blade is made of clear anodized, hardened extruded aluminum. It never rusts or needs to be painted.
- How do you switch from transporting to plowing or from plowing to transporting?
- The operator manually lowers the blade one end at a time to start plowing. When the plowing job is done lift the blade one end at a time onto the push frame for transporting.
- How can a SnowSport® operate without hydraulics?
- As you push snow, the blade travels up and down as needed by gravity. The rubber cutting edge is designed to cut through the snow but pass over the harder ground surfaces below and be gentle on grass. When you back up, the blade automatically lies back, skimming over the surface. Then you drive forward and the blade re-engages for plowing.
- Can I install a SnowSport® myself?
- Yes, installation is simple and the instructions are clear-cut. If you do need assistance, call 1-866-414-5422 between 7:30am - 5:30pm CST.
