Choosing the Best Snow Removal Tool for You

Before we dive into all of the available snow and ice tools, let’s consider a few things you might need to know for your particular situation. Consider some of these questions to help narrow down what specific snow removal tools and attachments you might need: 

• Does the tool/model fit your existing equipment?

• What kind of jobs are you expecting to use the tool for? 

• How large are the jobs? 

• How fast do you need to accomplish the jobs? 

1. Snow Buckets

When you need to move a lot of snow in a quick amount of time, snow buckets are the answer. Whether it’s a farm or work site where you need to move large piles of snow, a snow bucket is a must-have for any snow removal service. While you can attach a small snow bucket to an ATV/UTV, this attachment is meant more for tractors and skid steers to move large amounts of snow. 

2. Snow Blades

Snow blades are designed to clear large spaces. This is a tool that is designed to be attached to a tractor or skid steer to help you cover the most area possible. While these are meant for detailed work (such as sidewalks), tractor snow blades are perfect for long driveways and other big areas that need to be taken care of quickly after a big storm. 

3. Snow V Blades

When you need power, you need a snow v blade. These powerful blades are configured to push through hard rock pack and the deepest of drifts. For those familiar with Wisconsin winters, you know just how deep those snow drifts can get! This attachment is ideal for tractors and pick-up trucks. 

4. Snow Pushers

Perfect for skid-steers, tractors, and wheel loaders, tractor snow pushers are uniquely designed to provide a cleanly scraped job when it comes to working on pavement. These are perfect for farms and large areas of parking lots and streets. 

5. Snow Blowers

Snow blowers are great options for jobs that require attention to detail. We’re talking about tight spots and sidewalk areas. Snow blowers work great on some of your smaller tractors and riding lawnmowers. Again, tractor snow blowers give you the chance to be more precise in how you move the snow. 

6. Double Auger Snow Blowers

This type of snow blower is great for acreage or commercial applications. The additional auger is excellent to have when it comes to those large, pesky snow banks that need a little extra push. For the most part, you will need a tractor to get the most out of this attachment. Most tractors will be able use a double auger snow blower. 

7. Walk Behind Snow Blowers

For those who need to get some smaller spaces done without the use of a tractor, you always have the trusty walk-behind snow blower. As far as options go, you have battery-charged, gas, and electric (with a cord) homeowner snow plows. Whatever option you choose, this is a reliable snow removal tool that never goes out of style.
