The Simply Smart Snow Pusher
The KAGE® SnowFire Blast snow pusher for skid steers, tractors and compact wheel loaders brings the forward thinking of the traditional SnowFire trip edge plow system to a snow box. This speed and safety-oriented box plow keeps late night/early morning snow plowing in mind as it eliminates the need for hydraulic controls and attachments. Simply hook up the quick attach snow plow pusher and go, without worrying about hoses.
This snow plow pusher offers features to protect, the operator, machine and plowing surface while providing the cleanest removal of snow over contoured surfaces and up to curbs. The SnowFire Blast containment plow features the same 8 inch trip edge, 12 degrees of oscillation and 65 degree attack angle of the standard SnowFire. It also ads a floating quick attach, floating skids and a bolt-on containment box for unmatched performance and easy maintenance. That is the KAGE advantage!

Tri-Formed Box For Strength
The KAGE Moldboard has a reinforcement structure like no other in its class. The full length Tri-Formed Box structure gives it the maximum torque resistance and rigidity. We take skid steer pushing seriously. The moldboard steel is 10ga GRADE 50, which has a high tensile strength, making it difficult to dent and tear, prolonging the life of the finish and plow itself.
Heavy Duty Snow Plow Powder Coating
The powder coated SnowFire Blast snow pusher box and moldboard has a powder coat and primer baked on at 400+ degrees to safeguard all of the steel components and keep the pusher looking great for years. To avoid rust streaks and deteriorating pockets of corrosion, we use a proprietary method of applying seam sealer to all un-welded joints prior to the finish getting baked on. This increases the life of the finish and quality of its appearance.
Blade Down Pressure
Snow Pusher Down Pressure? Bring it on! This trip edge pusher is meant to take the abuse so common to skid steer snow pushing.
Replaceable Plow Cutting Edge
Our cutting edges adhere to highway department standards and will fit any ‘standard highway punch’ design. Just replace the edge as needed – no need to move, rotate, flip or flop! SnowFire Blasts come standard with high carbon steel cutting edges but can easily accommodate both poly cutting edges and the KAGE AdvantEDGE sectional cutting edge!
Snow Pusher Oscillation
A snow pusher with oscillation prevents situations when your cutting edge doesn’t stay flat on the plowing surface, whether due to uneven pavement, or improper boom adjustment. The KAGE SnowFire Blast always stays flat on the plowing surface, from tip to tip – even with down pressure applied! Never again do you have to worry about one side digging in as you drive over bumps, crowns or side slopes.
Plastic Skids
Plastic skids are much more gentle than rigid steel shoes. They drastically reduce the damage done to delicate surfaces, such as turf, parking blocks and even curbs.
AdvantEdge Sectional Cutting Edge
Upgrade to this spring loaded live cutting edge that allows different sections to raise and lower to accommodate crowns, wheel depressions, manhole covers, potholes and more while maintaining constant contact with the plowing surface. This flex steel cutting edge reduces wear on the cutting edge and damage done by the cutting edge. AdvantEdge sectional cutting edges are available in steel or carbide.
Back Drag Pusher Kit
Do you have sites where you’re regularly back dragging snow? Do you want to dramatically increase the efficiency of your snow plow when back dragging snow? The Back Drag Pusher Kit, is designed specifically to fit KAGE SnowFire Blast snow pusher systems.
This back drag kit is installed on the top of the pusher, allowing you to tip the pusher down on its front and back drag while still utilizing the containment capabilities of the pusher box.
This accessory will add to the weight and dimensions of the snow pusher. For instance, an 8-foot SnowFire Blast without the back drag kit is 54 x 103 x 35 inches and weighs 1497 lbs. With the kit added, it increases to 60 x 103 x 41 inches while bumping it up to 1735 lbs.
Cutting Edge Life Extenders
Add these carbide edge extenders at the ends, and center of the plow to increase the life expectancy of your cutting edges.
These are sold in kits including the carbide embedded edge, and two bolts and locknuts to replace the existing hardware.
Use the cutting edge life extenders to get more use out of your steel cutting edges on this advanced snow pusher system.
The Polyurethane Cutting Edge is useful when plowing delicate surfaces such as decorative concrete and pavers, or sealcoating. In our experience, this proprietary blend of polyurethanes outlasts rubber, and even steel in some cases without damaging the plowing surface. The blade is 1 ½ inches thick, pre-drilled and the optional kit comes with a steel support strip and extra long carriage bolts for easy installation.
Under-Hitch Tractor Undercarriage
The Under-Hitch tractor undercarriage is extremely valuable when it comes to mounting your SnowFire to the front of any tractor. The universal undercarriage system is designed to fit nearly any make or model of tractor, providing stability and easy attachment options, including the capability for front 3-point hitch mounting.

Universal Skid Steer Mount
The Universal Skid Steer Mount is the standard for the SnowFire Blast snowpusher. This couples to any modern skid steer in seconds. Then just couple the hydraulic couplers to the machine auxiliary hydraulic and you are ready to roll snow!
The universal skid steer mount is often used on other types of equipment beyond just skid steers as well, including some:
- Compact Track Loaders
- Telehandlers
- Compact Tractors
- Utility Work Machines
- Articulating Loaders
MACHINE SIZE RECOMMENDATION
- SBK72 – 5,000+ LBS
- SBK96 – 6,000+ LBS
- SBK108 – 6,500+ LBS
- SBK120 – 7,000+ LBS
Wheel Loader Attachments
The newest attachment style offered for the SnowFire BLAST series is for compact wheel loaders and tractor-loader-backhoes. This system can incorporate many different styles of hook-and-pin style attachments OR universal skid steer attachments. Uniquely designed for compact wheel loader applications, this attachment allows the plow to float while driving over uneven terrain. This floating hitch style is recommended for all wheel loader applications because it increases the ability to steer the loader, and the scraping ability of the plow.
MACHINE SIZE RECOMMENDATION
- SDP72 = 5,000+ LBS
- SDP96 = 6,000+ LBS
- SDP108 = 6,500+ LBS
- SDP120 = 7,000+ LBS
- SDP144 = 7,500+ LBS
Direct Hitch Tractor Mount
The most common option for attachment to tractors is the direct hitch style tractor mount. This hitch is used in combination with one of the Kage Under-Hitch Tractor Undercarriages for compact tractors. The KAGE Under-Hitch also offers the option for three-point hitch attachments.
Tractor Loader Arm Mount
For compact tractors equipped with the universal skid steer mount at the end of the loader arms, the SnowFire BLAST is an option. Just keep in mind that tractor loader arms will not operate as quickly as the other options and are more flimsy than direct hitch or 3-point hitch mounted snow pushers. More caution must be exercised when utilizing this method of attachment to avoid damaging your tractor.
MACHINE SIZE RECOMMENDATION
- SDP96 = 40 + Horsepower
- SDP108 = 50 + Horsepower
- SDP120 = 60 + Horsepower
- SDP144 = 75 + Horsepower
- Rear counter-weight is recommended for better traction.
