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.
The Advantage of a Well-built Snow Plow MoldboardFor 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.
Snow plowing is always going to be a necessity as our country, cities, and towns continue to grow. Those contractors that do what they do best, and do it repeatedly, will usually outperform and out maneuver the competition. KISS is a well known acronym for “Keep It Simple, Stupid”. While this statement may seem derogatory, it holds a lot of truth. Especially when it comes to snow plowing and snow removal operations.
