Snow fighters have noticed throughout the evolution of the snow industry that there are vital components that a plow must have to back-drag successfully. It must be able to clear as much snow as possible in one pass. It must be maneuverable. The plow has to be reliable and rigid. A plow needs to have one or more of these elements to work efficiently and effectively clear snow. For many years to have a product like this was a dream, until now. Continue reading to understand why a snow blade with a power-angling system and back drag kit is the most efficient system for back dragging. Also see how the KAGE system accomplishes these critical components making it the best blade for back dragging. You will learn about this product’s revolutionary 2-in-1 concept that has changed the game for our customers.

Back Drag Capacity

The best plow for back dragging will have a lot of capacity to hold snow. It will be able to clear a lot of snow with leaving, ideally, no trail behind. So, how does a plow accomplish this? It will have a long blade and a containment system behind the edge. A snow pusher and blade come in various sizes and hold the same amount of snow as they go up. However, this is where any 6″ tall blade with a standard highway DOT punch will benefit. KAGE offers a polyurethane back drag kit for steel cuttings edges that bolts onto the back of the blade and is generally used on a skid steer or small to a mid-size tractor. This kit has poly wings behind the cutting edge to provide more back-drag capacity. These wings also have a long wear life, almost as long as a high-carbon steel blade. If you have an angle blade with a poly cutting edge, KAGE also offers a poly back drag kit with longer bolts to accommodate the thickness of the poly cutting edge. Here’s a video about the poly back drag kit.

Maneuverable Snow Blade

For an efficient and successful back drag, the plow must be maneuverable. When it comes to getting close to garage doors, moving around parked cars in the driveway, and avoiding buildings, the plow on your machine must be able to get around obstacles. One of the best ways a straight blade plow becomes more efficient is by equipping it with a power-angling system. Most pusher boxes, if any, cannot angle. This is crucial when getting into tight spaces. Therefore, any snow blade that angles is a candidate for the ideal choice for back dragging. The KAGE 2-in-1 snow pusher blade and box combination has the industry’s best angling capacity. With or without the box, the KAGE system has a wide range of motion to easily make tight corners in one pass. Equipped with a 35-degree hydraulic angle system, the KAGE has no problem getting into tight spaces and maneuvering around cars or other objects. The KAGE SnowFire system makes it easy for municipal and commercial use, especially when plowing townhomes. When it comes to a bigger job that requires a loader or large tractor, the SnowStorm system has the same features on a larger scale. If your company handles any large roadways or runways, KAGE offers the same features and benefits of the 2-in-1 system on the SnowDozer, designed for loaders exceeding 30,000 lbs.

Reliable and Rigid

When it comes to snow plowing, your equipment takes a lot of abuse. Therefore, it is essential to have a rigid and reliable plow. You simply cannot back-drag if your plow is inoperable. Some snow pushers have a strong and inflexible design. However, they still break or bend and are not easily fixed. Most of the side panels are welded to the moldboard; if it bends or breaks, you may have to buy a new unit. Some snow blades have fixed this problem and adopted a heavier and more study design, but they need the pushing capacity of the pusher. KAGE has a 2-in-1 box and blade combination with a sturdy and durable design to withstand the force exerted on it. It has box-form construction on the moldboard, a containment box with multiple supports, and a quick and easy transition between pushing and back dragging.
