Snow Blades, Buckets and Blowers
A snow blade and bucket attachment can be used for snow removal on mini skid steers. A snow blade, also known as a snow plow blade, pushes snow to the side to clear a surface. A snow bucket can lift and carry large amounts of snow, and can also be used to load snow into a truck, remove snow from a site, or load salt or sand.
Snow blades offer a replaceable bolt-on wear edge and optional rubber edge. It is made of reinforced seven-gauge steel with a spring-loaded trip mechanism, and skid shoes with adjustable height.
Snow buckets have a see-through tall-back design which enables high-capacity without sacrificing visibility. The vertical reinforcements inside the bucket create strength and rigidity without compromising volume, and the wear guards on the bucket bottom extend the life of the bucket.
