KAGE SnowDozer Series: Comparing the SnowDozer 2-in-1 System and the SnowDozer Wing Plow

When it comes to large-scale snow removal, productivity is driven by two things: how much snow you can move and how efficiently you can control it. That philosophy is at the heart of the KAGE SnowDozer Series—a lineup of heavy-duty plow and pusher systems engineered for high-horsepower equipment working in demanding environments like airports, municipalities, industrial facilities, and large commercial sites.

Within the SnowDozer Series are flagship optionst: the SnowDozer 2-in-1 System and the SnowDozer Wing Plow. While these two systems share a common foundation and many core performance features, they are designed for different snow management strategies and operator preferences.

This article breaks down the similarities that unite these two systems, then dives into the key differences that set them apart, helping fleet managers and operators determine which SnowDozer solution best fits their operation.

A Shared Foundation: What Both SnowDozer Systems Have in Common

At their core, both the SnowDozer 2-in-1 System and the SnowDozer Wing Plow are built around the same 48-inch tall modular moldboard design. This shared platform ensures that regardless of which configuration you choose, you’re getting the same proven structural integrity, scraping performance, and snow-rolling efficiency.

Modular Moldboard Design

The 48″ tall moldboard is designed to handle large snow volumes without spillover, making it ideal for high-speed plowing and deep accumulations. Its curved moldboard profile helps roll snow efficiently, reducing resistance and improving fuel efficiency while keeping snow controlled in front of the blade. With a modular design, it is easy to create different sizes of plows, simply by adding 2-foot or 3-foot sections to a base center moldboard.

Tri-Form Box Moldboard Support

Both systems feature KAGE’s tri-form box moldboard support, a robust structural design that reinforces the moldboard against twisting, excessive vibration and deflection under heavy snow loads. This construction is especially critical when plowing with large wheel loaders or high-horsepower tractors, where pushing forces are significantly higher than skid steer or compact loader applications.

Trip Edge Protection

Each SnowDozer system includes a trip edge, allowing the cutting edge to trip independently when encountering obstacles. This protects both the equipment and the operator while maintaining consistent scraping performance across uneven or unpredictable surfaces.

Aggressive Cutting Geometry

Both plows feature a 65-degree cutting edge attack angle, which provides aggressive scraping action. This geometry helps remove hard-packed snow more effectively while reducing the need for multiple passes.

Oscillation for Surface Contour

With 12 degrees of oscillation, both SnowDozer systems can follow surface contours more accurately. This improves cutting edge contact across crowned roads, uneven pavement, and transitions, resulting in cleaner passes and less leftover snow.

Power Angling

Both options feature 34 degrees of power angling for windrowing or pushing snow around corners.

Equipment Compatibility and Build Quality

Both the SnowDozer 2-in-1 System and the SnowDozer Wing Plow are designed for:

  • Wheel loaders weighing 30,000 to 50,000 pounds (via floating wheel loader quick attach)

  • 300+ horsepower tractors (via Category II 3-point hitch attachment)

These are not light-duty plows—they are purpose-built tools for large machines working long hours in extreme conditions. Like all KAGE products, both SnowDozer systems are made in the USA, with a focus on durability, serviceability, and long-term value.

Created in 2021, the defining feature of the SnowDozer 2-in-1 System is its removable box. This removable box transforms the plow from a straight blade into a high-capacity snow pusher, giving operators two tools in one system.

Removable Box Design

With the box installed, the SnowDozer 2-in-1 functions as a containment pusher—ideal for stacking snow, cleaning up large open areas, and moving snow efficiently across long distances. When the box is removed, the system converts back into a traditional straight plow for windrowing, back dragging, road plowing, or directional snow movement.

This versatility makes the 2-in-1 system especially valuable for operations that need to switch between plowing and pushing frequently without swapping attachments. The simple design limits the amount of maintenance needed as well as complexity of repairs.

Size Options

The SnowDozer 2-in-1 System is available in:

  • 12′

  • 14′

  • 16′

  • 18′

These wide configurations are designed to maximize productivity on large surfaces like runways, taxiways, highways, and expansive industrial lots.

Ideal Use Cases

The SnowDozer 2-in-1 System excels in environments where:

  • Snow must be both plowed and pushed

  • Equipment needs to perform multiple roles in a single shift

  • Operators want containment capability without committing to a permanently boxed blade

KAGE SnowDozer Wing Adustable Side PanelsSnowDozer Wing Plow: Maximum Versatility Through Adjustable Wings

While the SnowDozer 2-in-1 relies on a removable box, the SnowDozer Wing Plow takes a different approach to snow control through permanently attached, adjustable side panels.

Hinged, Adjustable Wings

The wing plow’s side panels are permanently mounted but hinge off the ends of the moldboard, allowing them to adjust to nearly any angle. This design opens the door to a wide range of plow modes, including:

  • Straight blade

  • Wide plow

  • Scoop configuration

  • Tapered windrow setups

  • Back drag plow

Because the wings are always attached, operators can change configurations on the fly without stopping to install or remove components.

Size and Wing Options

The SnowDozer Wing Plow offers:

  • 10′, 12′, 14′, 16′, and 18′ center moldboards

  • 4′ or 5′ adjustable wings on each end (with float in both the heel and toe of the skids)

This means total plowing widths can expand dramatically, giving operators the ability to cover more ground (up to 28 feet) per pass when conditions allow.

Ideal Use Cases

The SnowDozer Wing Plow is best suited for operations that prioritize:

  • Maximum flexibility in plow width and angle

  • High-speed plowing with changing conditions

  • Continuous plowing without the need for a full containment box

Choosing Between the Two SnowDozer Systems

While both systems share the same rugged moldboard and performance DNA, the decision ultimately comes down to how you manage snow.

Choose the SnowDozer 2-in-1 System if your operation:

  • Needs both plowing and pushing capabilities

  • Benefits from full snow containment

  • Works in areas where stacking and relocating snow is critical

  • Needs simple attachments for large machines

Choose the SnowDozer Wing Plow if your operation:

  • Values quick, on-the-fly configuration changes

  • Requires variable plowing widths

  • Focuses on directional plowing and windrowing over long distances

Both the SnowDozer 2-in-1 System and the SnowDozer Wing Plow represent KAGE’s commitment to building innovative, heavy-duty snow removal equipment for professional operators. Sharing a common moldboard platform ensures consistent performance, while their distinct designs allow fleets to tailor solutions to their specific snow removal strategies.

No matter which system you choose, you’re investing in a Made-in-the-USA plow engineered to move more snow, more efficiently, with less downtime—exactly what the SnowDozer Series was built to do.
