STRAIGHT BLADE SNOWPLOW
|
CONTRACTOR GRADE®
|
Plow Blade ConstructionThe robust 12-gauge powder coated steel moldboard is a full 31½” tall and comes in 8′, 8′ 6″, and 9′ widths. The PRO PLUS® blade features a 65-degree attack angle, and a high carbon steel cutting edge comes standard, reducing wear and extending the life of the blade. |
Structural ReinforcementEight vertical ribs, a heavy-duty quadrant, and the exclusive WESTERN® POWER BAR provide exceptional torsional strength and rigidity, to eliminate blade twisting even under the most brutal conditions. The high-strength steel base channel provides extra support along the bottom of the plow blade. The 1″ diameter pivot bolt secures the plow in place, ensuring proper alignment and reducing stress on the overall plow assembly. |
RELIABLE HYDRAULICSWe manufacture our own hydraulic components to ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability, so that you get a hydraulics system that’s not only fast and responsive, but that’s built to last season after season. Fully enclosed components are protected from the elements. |
TRIP PROTECTIONFour heavy-duty coil springs protect your plow and truck by allowing the whole blade to trip when striking obstacles. Dual shock absorbers reduce jarring and soften the blade return when tripping occurs, to extend the life of your truck and plow. |
SHOE KIT
Protect your plow and the road, while extending the life of your cutting edge with an adjustable shoe kit. The cast iron construction and shape increases the surface contact area and helps glide over gravel and dirt at the correct height. Extending cutting edge and base angle life when plowing on rocky or abrasive surfaces. |
SKID-STEER COMPATIBLE MOUNT
The PRO PLUS® snow plow is also available with skid-steer mounting options. Skid-steer plows are quick to install and easy to operate with an onboard hydraulic system for powerful, efficient operation. An oscillating skid-steer attachment provides six degrees of side-to-side movement for improved scraping and cutting edge wear while reducing damage to the terrain. This design allows the skid-steer loader bucket’s hydraulics to lift and lower the blade for improved operator performance. |
TRACTOR COMPATIBLE MOUNT KIT
Designed for easy installation onto a wide range of tractor models, these mount kits make it possible for the PRO PLUS straight blades to fit on a compact tractor. They are flared both vertically and horizontally to ensure proper alignment and make the drive-in connection easier. The push beam, which makes up the front portion of the mount, can be quickly detached to allow for a loader attachment. |
NIGHTHAWK™ Snow Plow HeadlightsAvailable in both LED and Dual-Halogen models, NIGHTHAWK plow lights are engineered and tested for maximum light output, performance and durability to keep you ahead of the storm.
|
UltraMount® 2 SNOWPLOW MOUNTING SYSTEMThe UltraMount® 2 system is designed for fast and easy installation and removal using a simple mechanical system. It features a robust one-piece design and is 100% compatible with UltraMount® system mounts and electrical platforms. |
CHAIN LIFT SYSTEMThe mechanical chain lift system offers a variety of performance and reliability advantages over a hydraulic system. Main benefits include cleaner scraping performance, higher stacking capabilities, reliability, and easy recovery in the event of a breakdown. |
FLEET FLEX ELECTRICAL SYSTEMThe FLEET FLEX electrical system provides true fleet interchangeability. The same FLEET FLEX CabCommand hand-held or joystick control can operate any UltraMount® and UltraMount® 2 mounted plow on any truck at any time. |
PLOW CONTROL OPTIONSChoose between a CabCommand hand-held control with push buttons or a joystick control, based on operator preference. For efficient, precise and intuitive blade control while plowing, both controls feature power “on” and “float” LED lights, backlighting for night operation, and plug-in connector for easy removal. |
SECURITY GUARD™ ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMThe exclusive WESTERN® SECURITY GUARD™ snowplow anti-theft system is a safe and secure way to electronically lock your snow plow when it is detached from your truck as a deterrent from theft. Unlike physical locks that can easily be cut or removed, the system allows you to electronically lock the snowplow’s hydraulic functions, rendering your plow inoperable to unauthorized users. |
Isolation ModuleThis advanced snow plow light and electrical system features improved electrical pins in the harness for trouble-free connections. An underhood module improves system life and complies with OEM requirements. No toggle switch needed to change from vehicle to plow lights. |
ULTRAFINISH™ BAKED-ON POWDER COATThe ULTRAFINISH™ baked on powder coat with epoxy primer is standard on all WESTERN® plows, providing outstanding protection against wear and rust. |
Pre-Punched Blades for AccessoriesThe blade is pre-punched for easy installation of accessories, providing a custom fit. The pre-punched holes also prevent damage to the powder coat that can sometimes occur when installing an accessory. |
BACK DRAG EDGEEnsure a clean scrape every time, when you back drag. The WESTERN back drag edge is built to be as rugged and durable as every other component of your plow. Constructed of 0.25″ abrasion-resistant steel and angled to maximize back dragging performance. This easy to install back drag edge is a key tool in any snowfighter’s kit. |
CARBIDE CUTTING EDGEProtect your investment—even on fast passes and rough roads—with a 3/4″ high carbon steel cutting edge with carbide insert. It provides extra wearability by utilizing hard carbide material and also increasing the surface area at the point of contact. |
WING EXTENSION KITGet more jobs done faster with wings. These plow wings increase the overall plowing width by one foot, add up to 30% more carrying capacity, and minimize snow spill-off. Made of 12-gauge steel with high strength steel ribs, these durable wings attach quickly and easily with a single pin. *Wing Extension Kits and Curb Guards cannot be used simultaneously.
