KAGE + John Deere = Strong Combo

Matching Attitude and Expectations

John Deere is known for ruggedness, reliability, good hydraulics, and a dealer/support network. When choosing attachments for John Deere, you want more than mere compatibility — you want attachments that match in durability, ease of operation, serviceability, and features. KAGE Innovation designs attachments with those very concerns in mind. Its product lines covers snow, dirt, lawn, and liquid‐spraying related tasks, and its attachments are built to stand up to heavy use while integrating well with “big green” – and other brands of – equipment.

Let’s break down what features KAGE offers, and then how those features especially benefit John Deere machines in each class: skid steers & compact track loaders; tractors; and wheel loaders.

What KAGE Brings to the Table 

Before diving into specific machine classes, here are recurring themes in KAGE’s attachments that make them attractive:

1. Overbuild / Heavy‐Duty Design
   The attachments are “overbuilt by design” to reduce downtime and increase efficiency.
   That means thicker steels, strong moldboards, good trip edges, strong welds, etc.
2. Float / Oscillation / Moldboard Features
   Many plows & pushers include features like floating boxes, moldboard oscillation (12 degrees), spring‐loaded trip edges.
3. Angle capability
   Blades that can be angled (often up to ~35°) to push snow to the side and break through thick, heavy accumulation with ease.
4. Compatibility
   Universal quick‐attach or different hitch options (3‐point, under‐hitch, front loader arms), so that the same model works across carriers (skid steers, loaders, tractors).
5. Accessory / Feature Options
   Options for wings, sprayers, tires, scarifiers / ruling devices, ripper teeth, etc. The LiquidRage sprayer, for example, works with multiple carriers.
6. Made in USA / Serviceability
   Nearly all components are made domestically; parts are available. Designs that allow replaceable cutting edges or wear surfaces. This is helpful given Deere’s expectation for uptime.
7. Special snow designs
   Since snow removal is especially demanding on blades, hydraulics, angles, etc., KAGE has put extra engineering into plows, pushers, wings, etc. The SnowFire, SnowFire Xtreme, SnowStorm, SnowDozer and variants show that.

How KAGE Attachments Complement John Deere Equipment

John Deere machines already offer high build quality, strong hydraulics (with good flow & pressure), well‐engineered frames, excellent support network, and broad compatibility with attachments. KAGE attachments are a good match — here’s how they align particularly well, and what advantages that gives.

• Hydraulic compatibility: Deere tractors, wheel loaders, skid steers/CTLs generally offer reliable hydraulic flow and pressure. Many KAGE systems (especially its 2-in-1 plow & pusher boxes, wings, etc.) require robust hydraulics. Deere machines often meet or exceed those requirements, so these attachments can work at full performance without overtaxing the machine.
• Structural strength / machine frame integrity: Deere machines tend to have strong frames, well‐engineered loader arms and good lift capacities. Since KAGE attachments are heavy duty, the Deere machines can carry, lift, and push them without excessive flex or failure. This gives longer life to both the machine and the attachment.
• Dealer & service ecosystem: Deere owners are used to having good service, parts and support. KAGE attachments with replaceable parts, wear edges, etc., mean that through Deere dealers or third party suppliers, one can maintain them well. Also, folks who already have Deere machines may appreciate being able to get matching attachments that hold up similarly.
• Resale / value retention: Because John Deere has high brand value, combining Deere machines with high‐quality attachments like KAGE tends to preserve value for both. Buyers tend to view that combination favorably.
• Versatility for multiple tasks: Many operations that use Deere machines don’t want to switch out tools all the time. KAGE’s broad product range (snow, lawn, dirt, sprayers) means a Deere machine can serve multiple seasonal roles without needing lots of different attachment brands or purpose‐built tools. This reduces complexity.

Specifics by Machine Type

Now, let’s examine what makes KAGE attachments ideal in each equipment class working with Deere machines.

Skid Steers & Compact Track Loaders (CTLs)

These are smaller, maneuverable machines with high hydraulic output per weight and good

traction. Deere makes skid and track loaders that are popular in landscaping, snow removal, forestry and farm use.

What KAGE offers for them:

• SnowFire & SnowFire Xtreme 2-in-1 plow & pusher systems. They allow an operator to either push snow (with the “box” mode) or plow (blade mode) and angle the blade. They also have features like floating boxes and poly box skids.
• SnowFire BLAST fixed side trip edge pusher with float, which simplifies for certain uses (e.g. no hydraulic wings or angling needed).
• GreatER Bar land planes / scarifiers, usually with ripper teeth — good for grading gravel, leveling and removing high spots. Useful for Deere skid or track loaders in site prep or driveway cleanup.
• LiquidRage sprayer attachments for liquid application, which often are useful in winter for brine or in other seasons for dust, weed and insect control. These attachments are designed to work with skid steers and CTLs.

Why good on Deere SK / CTL:

• Deere machines typically have solid hydraulic quick attach / plate systems, meaning KAGE attachments can mount firmly.
• Deere skid/track loaders often have good breakout forces and lifting capacity; KAGE attachments, being heavy, draw upon those strengths.
• Maneuverability in tight spaces: KAGE’s angled blades with oscillation help maintain grip and avoid digging too deep in turns, preserving both ground surface and machine tires/tracks.

Wheel Loaders

These are larger scale machines, often used in snow removal at scale, or large site prep. Deere makes wheel loaders in many sizes.

KAGE’s offerings:

• Multiple plow/pusher systems: SnowFire, SnowStorm, SnowDozer, etc., sized to different loader weight classes (e.g. 4- to 15-k lb, 15- to 30-k lb, 30- to 50-k lb machines).
• SnowDozer Wing Plows to cover large widths or to clear capacious areas more rapidly.
• GreatER Bar land levelers / scarifiers for compact and mini wheel loaders. Useful for road work, gravel leveling and site finishing.
• LiquidRage sprayer attachments for wheel loaders, for small- to medium-capacity applications in brine, dust suppression, etc. kageinnovation.com

Why Deere + KAGE works well for wheel loaders:

• Deere wheel loaders generally offer strong hydraulic circuits and excellent stability; KAGE winged plows or 2-in-1 blades demand that to work well, especially when moving large masses of snow.
• With bigger machines, downtime is costlier, so overbuilt welds, replaceable edges, etc., in KAGE designs reduce wear costs.
• Deere’s loader arms and chassis are designed for heavy work; tough KAGE attachments help operators push Deere’s performance envelope safely.

Tractors

This includes compact, mid-size, large tractors — “green” tractors from John Deere with front loader arms, 3-point hitches, etc.

KAGE attachments for tractors:

• Various SnowFire systems for compact / mid‐size tractors; SnowStorm for larger horsepower tractors; SnowDozer / SnowDozer Wing for very large tractors.
• ShadowBlade rear wing blade: deployable to either side, foldable for transport; stows away; joystick control; etc. Useful rear attachment for tractors.
• GreatER Bar land plane / scarifier for tractors with skid steer attachment plates on front loader arms.
• Under-Hitch universal tractor undercarriage to support front direct hitch or front 3-point hitch attachments. Good for distributing loads, giving stability.
• LiquidRage sprayer options for tractors, with 150 gallon tanks, nozzles, etc. Useful for seasons when spraying is needed.

Why this works well with John Deere tractors:

• Deere tractors are generally strong enough for front hitch add-ons for compatibility with 3‐point hitch attachments. KAGE makes attachments that can provide and utilize those hitch systems properly.
• Deere tractors often have good ground clearance and well-engineered front frame so that heavy snow boxes or pushers with wings or large moldboards do not overstrain the front axle or compromise visibility too much.
• Deere’s reputation for hydraulic reliability pays off when using KAGE plows/pushers that depend on hydraulics (for down pressure/lifting, angling and wing positioning).
• Deere users frequently need attachments that can switch seasonally (snow in winter, grading or land plane in summer). KAGE’s multipurpose options and wide range of sizes make switching attachments more economical.

Specific Features & “Why They Matter” for Deere Users

Here are a few specific design decisions KAGE has made, and how those further line up with Deere’s strengths or user expectations.

Feature	What It Does	Why It’s Especially Good When Paired with John Deere
Tri‐Form Box Supported Moldboard	The tri-form box (rather than ribs) supports the moldboard to resist deformation, maintain shape and reduce stress and chatter.	Deere machines expect attachments that don’t deform easily; less maintenance, better snow stacking without wall collapse, more reliability.
Compression Spring Trip Edge / Trip Edge / Trip Edge Angles	Allows blade to trip over obstacles (hidden curbs, uneven surfaces) to avoid damage; when stressed, edge trips back.	Deere operators working in difficult terrain or mixed surfaces will benefit — less chance of damaging blade or frame.
Moldboard Oscillation (12°)	The blade or box can oscillate/float to follow ground contour. Reduces gouging, improves contact, smoother finish.	Deere machines with good chassis/frame will benefit: better ground following, less operator fatigue, less bouncing, better surface finish.
Angle Blade (~35°) + 2-in-1 Plow & Pusher Modes	Allows operator to either push snow with box mode or use a blade mode for angle plowing. Angle helps manage windrowing rolling snow to one side.	Deere machines with good driver visibility and power can use this to great effect: more efficient snow clearing, better use of power, less need to reposition equipment.
Poly Box Skids / Non-metal skids	These protect pavement/concrete surfaces, reduce wear, allow smoother glide.	Deere users often operate on decorative paved surfaces or sensitive grounds; less damage, less pavement repair cost.
Accessory Options (sprayers, tires, wings, etc.)	Extend functionality beyond just snow/dirt pushing.	Deere owners often want versatile tools – they don’t want dedicated gear for one season. KAGE’s accessories allow Deere machines to serve year-round.
Wide Size Range & Carrier Compatibility	From mini skid steers & loaders, compact track loaders, compact tractors, mid-size, large tractors, to large wheel loaders. Different hitch systems supported.	Deere has many models; KAGE’s size/hitch flexibility means fewer concerns about fit or performance mismatch. This simplifies procurement, reduces risk of mis-sized gear.

Potential Considerations / Where to Be Mindful

To be fair, when matching any attachment to any machine, one must watch out for certain things. Deere users considering KAGE should pay attention to:

• Weight of attachments: Heavy plows or boxes can overload front axles, reduce traction on rear, reduce stability. Matching machine weight / ballast is important.
• Hydraulic pressure & flow: Some attachments (especially winged plows, 2-in-1 systems) depend on sufficient hydraulics. If a John Deere machine has hydraulic limitations (older models, lower hp), some features may be less effective or slower.
• Visibility and control: Big blades or wings may obstruct sightlines. Operators should ensure visibility, safe transport, and control systems are manageable.
• Surface compatibility: On delicate surfaces (e.g. decorative concrete, turf), even with poly skids (and poly cutting edges) one must be cautious with plows, pushers.
• Cost vs usage: Some advanced attachments (winged, hydraulic features) cost more; if usage is seasonal or light, might overpay compared to simpler pushers – which is why KAGE offers those as well.

KAGE design with these in mind, offering options like simpler “BLAST” pushers without hydraulics, as well poly skids, floating skids and optional poly cutting edges to protect surfaces.

Summary: Why KAGE + John Deere = Strong Combo

Putting everything together, here are the key takeaways on why KAGE attachments are particularly ideal for John Deere users:

• Built to match Deere’s work ethic: high hours, tough winter or dirt or landscaping jobs. The overbuilt nature, durable components, and maintenance-friendly design help ensure Deere machines stay productive.
• Versatility across seasons and tasks: Deere owners often want snow removal in winter, site prep / dirt / gravel in other seasons, mowing / spraying at times. KAGE’s product range supports that.
• Carrier compatibility: Deere’s wide range of carriers (skids, tractors, loaders) means that any firm attachment supplier must accommodate those. KAGE does.
• Support, parts, service: Deere operators expect high uptime. KAGE’s easily replaceable parts and accessories, and those being available help reduce downtime.
• Optimal performance: Blade angles, trip edges, oscillation, wings — all allow smoother, more efficient clearing/plowing. Deere machines tend to have strong power, reliable hydraulics, so these attachment features deliver more.
• Value in lifecycle cost: Although initial cost may be higher for premium features, when you consider less downtime, less repair, longer blade life, better ground protection, you often get lower total cost of ownership. Dealers and operators who think long-term see that benefit.
