The Smart Snow Pusher For Tractors and Loaders
The KAGE® SnowStorm BLAST snow pusher for 15k-30k lb wheel loaders and 100+ hp ag tractors brings the forward thinking of the SnowStorm trip edge plow system to a hydraulic-free box plow. This speed and safety-oriented containment plow maximizes convenience and performance while minimizing maintenance. Simply hook up the box plow using a 3 point hitch, floating quick attach or bucket clamp and you’re good to go. No hoses needed!
This trip edge snow pusher contours to the substrate with the best of them, utilizing 12 degrees of moldboard oscillation, oscillating and floating skids, floating quick attach options and contouring sectional cutting edge options. The SnowStorm BLAST containment plow features the same 90-degree trip edge and 65-degree attack angle of the original SnowStorm 2-in-1 snow plow system. Its bolt-on containment box is easy to repair and replace parts. That is the KAGE advantage!
The SnowStorm BLAST, available in 10- and 12-foot widths, is compatible with the following machines:
- Mid-sized Loaders
- Agricultural Tractors
Snow Pusher For Tractor & Loader
Versatile Box Plow Attachment
The SnowStorm BLAST is the most versatile snow pusher on the market for mid-size equipment. Equipped with a 3-in-1 attachment system, it makes connecting the push box to an appropriately-sized tractor or wheel loader a simple task – even if you don’t want to remove your bucket.
It’s 3-in-1 attachment system includes:
- a 3-point hitch attachment,
- floating quick attach for loaders
- and loader bucket clamp
This ensures you’re never without an option to connect to your equipment and push snow. None of these options require hooking up hydraulic hoses or electric wiring harnesses.
Floating Skids
The KAGE SnowStorm BLAST containment box does not interfere with the scraping ability of the cutting edge. This large box plow features spring-loaded polyurethane skids that float and oscillate when they come in contact with objects such as curbs. This allows for cleaner plowing right up to the curb and prevents the machine from being forced to a sudden stop. It also reduces the risk of damaging the curb and/or pusher. The skids lift with the curb as they come in contact with it and then are pushed back down by the leaf springs as pressure from the obstacle is removed.
Trip Edge
Unlike most snow pushers, the SnowStorm BLAST is a trip edge pusher, meaning that the cutting edge will break away, folding back 90 degrees, when it comes in contact with immovable objects. This allows it to maintain contact with a curb while still pushing snow up and over it. Due to the length of the cutting edge of the SnowStorm BLAST, the trip edge is also split into two independently tripping sections, preventing excessive twisting of the cutting edge and/or moldboard as well as limiting the amount of spillage than can occur during the trip.
Floating Loader Quick Attach
When used on a front-end loader, this snow pusher offers additional float through KAGE’s quick attach option. This allows the plow to contour to front-to-back changes including dips and bumps in the plowing surfaces – like you might encounter crossing a crowned road or plowing hills and valleys.
3-Point Hitch Attach
When used as a snow pusher for tractors, the 3-point hitch option is a great solution, allowing for a stable attachment that still allows for plenty of ability to lift the plow when needed without interfering with its oscillation or trip capabilities.
We highly recommend using KAGE’s 1200 Series Under-Hitch universal tractor undercarriage with a front three-point hitch on your tractors to maximize the capabilities of your SnowStorm BLAST tractor snow pusher and your tractor.
Bucket Clamp
For those looking for a clamp-on snow plow for a tractor bucket – or a loader bucket snow plow, the SnowStorm BLAST accommodates that as well. This means you don’t have to take your bucket off of your machine to attach the BLAST snow pusher. Just drive the bucket into the slots in the 3-in-1 attachment system and ratchet the clamp in place. Safety chains can be used for additional security.
Oscillation
For that constant contact on surfaces that are uneven side to side, the SnowStorm BLAST allows for up to 12 degrees of oscillation through the use of the specialized SnowStorm BLAST slot plate on the back of the moldboard. This is extremely helpful when pushing snow on a side hill or other lateral slope to keep the cutting edge flat with the plowing surface and prevent gouging.
Bolt-on Sides
The bolt-on side panels of the BLAST snow box allow for easy replacement and upgrades without having to be a welder – or hire one. Simply remove and replace bolts for upgrades or for access to repair or replace damaged parts of the pusher over time.
Attack Angle
The SnowStorm BLAST snow pusher uses the same aggressive 65-degree attack angle of the cutting edge as the original SnowStorm 2-in-1 plow and pusher system for optimal scraping capabilities.
Optional Flex Cutting Edge
While the SnowStorm BLAST will accept any highway punch cutting edge, install the AdvantEdge Cutting Edge System onto your snow pusher for the cleanest scrape.
This sectional cutting edge will contour to wheel depressions and crowns as well as low profile obstacles, such as manhole covers to ensure maximum scrape with minimum damage. The spring-loaded sections also reduce road noise generated by scraping pavement and prevent uneven wear to the cutting edge as each 18” or 24” section floats and oscillates for constant contact and even pressure.
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 is made of 10 gauge GRADE 50 steel, which has a high tensile strength, making it difficult to dent or tear, prolonging the life of the finish and the plow itself.
Heavy Duty Snow Plow Powder Coating
The SnowStorm 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, increasing 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 of snow pushing with equipment weighing up to 30,000 lbs.
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! SnowStorm BLASTs are compatible with high carbon steel cutting edges as well as the KAGE AdvantEDGE sectional cutting edge, which utilizes either Hardox Steel or Carbide cutting edge sections that float and oscillate independently to contour to any surface!
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 SnowStorm 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 – even while turning.
Floating Poly Skids
Polyurethane skids are much more gentle than rigid steel shoes. They drastically reduce the damage done to delicate surfaces, such as turf, parking blocks, speed bumps and humps and even curbs. These skids will flex and rebound as they hit obstacles, rather than bend permanently like traditional steel shoes. They are also spring loaded with a leaf spring that is encapsulated inside the side panel which keeps down pressure on the skids yet while allowing them to float vertically, 4.75″ at the toe and 6″ at the heel, over obstacles. That heel-to-toe oscillation in the float also allows box pusher to adapt its skid pressure when it is not set down perfectly on the substrate.
AdvantEdge Sectional Cutting Edge
Get the cleanest scrape when you use 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. These contouring steel sections reduce wear to the cutting edge and damage done by the cutting edge. AdvantEdge sectional cutting edges are available with steel or carbide sections that are 18 or 24 inches in length.
Cutting Edge Life Extenders
Add these carbide cutting edge life extenders at the ends, and center of the plow to increase the life expectancy of your traditional high carbon cutting edges.
These are sold in kits including the carbide embedded edge, and two bolts and locknuts to replace the existing hardware.
Cutting edge life extenders give you an affordable way to upgrade basic cutting edges with the long-wearing benefits of carbide edges!

Floating Quick Attach
The SnowStorm BLAST series for wheel loaders – also known as front end loaders or payloaders – weighing between 15k and 30k pounds can incorporate many different styles of hook-and-pin style floating quick connect style attachments or loader bucket clamp attachments. Uniquely designed for wheel loaders, the floating hook-and-pin quick attachments allows the plow to float front-to-back while driving over uneven terrain – such as crossing a crowned street or highway. This floating hitch style is recommended for all wheel loader applications as it increases the ability to steer the loader, keeping weight on the front tires, and adds to the scraping ability of the plow. For available quick attaches, see our specification tab.
Bucket Clamp
The bucket clamp attachment allows you to slip the bottom of the bucket into a slot on the back of the snow pusher attachment plate and then clamp down on the bucket using a built-in ratchet system to keep the SnowStorm BLAST in place. Safety chains may be used to additionally secure the pusher to the bucket – but are not required.
