Power-V Plowing Tips
STRAIGHT POSITION
This position is normally used for back dragging – with the blades positioned directly in front of the vehicle.
For example: to remove snow from the edge of a building, raise the blade and drive up to the building.
Then lower the blade and back up – pulling snow away from the building.
With a little experience, you'll develop your own methods for plowing and learn exactly which plow position
to use for each pass.
DEEP SNOW
In deep snow raise the plow several inches off the ground to shear off the top layer. With a Power-V Plow,
use the V-position for the first pass. Then change to the Scoop- or Angle-Position to widen things out. You
should push just enough snow with each pass to get the job done efficiently without overloading your
equipment. A good rule of thumb is to use a full blade width for two inches of snow or less, three quarters
of the blade for four inches of snow and half a blade for six inches of snow or more.
WET SNOW
The best advice is this: once you start, finish the job. Wet snow left in windrows overnight can freeze and
turn into tank traps by morning.
