Straight Blade Plowing Tips
Every BOSS Snowplow is designed and built with one goal in mind – to make your job easier. And each
one has unique features designed specifically to save time and effort, while at the same time ensuring it will
stand up to nature's worst. But we don't just make better snowplows; we have lots of ideas on how to plow
snow better. So browse through this section, and see how BOSS can help you be the best you can be.
BOSS Straight-Blades are the proven choice for professionals and homeowners alike. Built with an
optimized blade curl that means snow rolls cleanly off the plow.
ANGLE-POSITION
In this position the blade is positioned to either the left or right side of the vehicle. Use this position for
windrowing or for widening the first pass.
HOW TO WINDROW
With the blade angled to the left or right side of the vehicle, make consecutive passes – each time throwing
the snow forward and to the side. This technique is useful to clear large areas such as parking lots.
STRAIGHT-POSITION
This position is normally used for back dragging – with the blade 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.
