Brian Thoreson, a seasoned Machine Shop Supervisor with over 35 years of snow plowing expertise will explore the top features of the V-Plow and explain why this may be the right choice for your snow removal needs.

Why Choose a V-Plow?

  • Versatility: V-plows excel in various snow removal applications. Use scoop, straight, and v-mode to tackle any snow obstacle.
  • Flared Moldboard: The flared moldboard design allows you to throw snow further when windrowing.
  • Multiple Modes:
    • Scoop mode allows you to grab and push huge amounts of snow at a time.
    • Straight position is great for windrowing and throwing snow off a lot.
    • V-mode allows you to break through hard-pact snow when necessary.
  • Stacking Height: V-plows can stack snow to impressive heights, making them ideal for clearing large areas.

Which SnowEx V-Plow is Right for You: RDV or HDV?

  • RDV: This plow is a lighter-duty option. Great for half-ton trucks and tractors. Constructed of high-strength, low-alloy steel making them stronger and lighter than conventional steel.

The RDV is available in a 7’6” width.
  • HDV: This plow is built for heavy-duty applications. It is great for class 2-5 trucks and tractors. These plows are ready to tackle your winter cleanup needs.
