Small articulated loaders are carving a dent into the skid steer market. More and more contractors are finding that the compact wheel loader is a suitable, and sometimes better option to buy or rent than a skid steer loader. Snow removal contractors are no exception. There is no perfect formula when you are trying to decide between the two, but we are going to point out some of the important considerations that may be part of your decision.

The Perfect Plow – The KAGE® snow plow and pusher system combines the snow pusher capabilities to move large amounts of snow with the versatility of the snow plow for skid steers, wheel loaders, and tractors into one easy to use attachment.
The main difference between the LBK Series Snow Plow System and the SBK Snow Plow System is there’s a floating top link just forward of the quick attach plate. On a compact wheel loader, this floating top link is crucial for keeping the plow blade tight to the plowing surface.
For many generations, snow plow moldboards were designed in a similar way – a curved piece of steel with thin ribbing for support at the back of the plow. Enter the 21st century, snow plow crews are now using heavy equipment like skid steers, tractors, wheel loaders and more to take on the larger more demanding snow sites.
If you’ve ever taken on a snow removal contract in a housing development that requires you to back drag snow from 100+ driveways, we’re sure you know how much time gets wasted having to pull up to the garage door just to back drag the remaining thin strip of snow left behind. Well, we have the solution to that problem ¬– the KAGE Back Catch Kit! The Back Catch Kit is scheduled to arrive shortly after the new year
