Straight Blade Plowing Tips
HOW TO BACK DRAG
To remove snow from the edge of a building, raise the blade and drive forward to the building. Lower the
blade, and then back up while pulling the snow away from the building. You should back drag only two
truck lengths before turning around. You can then back into the cleared area and push snow forward. You
plow will be more effective when pushing snow than then back dragging over long distances.
DEEP SNOW
In deep snow raise the plow several inches off the ground to shear off the top layer. 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 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.
