Did you know that you can use a lawn tractor or compact tractor to plow snow? One of the best reasons for doing this is the versatility. In a state like Minnesota with extreme weather patterns, the ability to use one machine year round can have a big impact.
Tackle our state’s toughest snowfalls with snow plow for tractor options at Minnesota Equipment. Clearing large driveways and properties has never been easier.
Why Use a Tractor for Snow Removal?
There are many advantages to using a lawn or compact tractor for snow removal. Rather than shoveling or using a small snowblower, this option is more efficient for large properties and offers greater power and coverage for deep snow.
Minnesota Equipment has various snow plow for tractor attachments, including blades and pushers, designed to handle different snow conditions.
Lawn Tractor Snow Plow: Best for Smaller Properties
A lawn tractor snow plow works by pushing snow with an angled blade to clear a path as the tractor moves forward. The angle of the blade determines how much snow is moved and where it goes. It works best with light to moderate snowfall so you don’t put excessive strain on the tractor. Minnesota Equipment sells a lawn tractor snow blade, which works great for moderate snowfall when you can push the snow off to the side.
For optimal performance, remember to perform pre-season inspections on your tractor snow plow. Lubricate it regularly, check for wear on the cutting edge, inspect hydraulic fluid levels, protect and clean electrical connections and tighten all mounting bolts. Store in a dry, sheltered area to prevent rust during the off-season and always refer to your owner’s manual for detailed maintenance guidelines.
Compact Tractor Snow Plow: Power for Large Snow Jobs
A compact tractor snow plow provides an all-in-one solution for larger properties or heavier snowfalls. Their lower weight reduces the risk of damage to sidewalks and paved surfaces, and they are the ideal blend of power and efficiency.
We offer many popular snow plow attachments for your compact tractor at Minnesota Equipment. The compact tractor snow blade is great for light to medium snow and includes adjustable angles for better control. The compact tractor snow pusher is ideal for clearing large areas quickly, where you can push the snow off to the side and away from the drive lane. Both of these options offer more power and efficiency for tough jobs.
