Snow Pusher for Compact Tractors 1800 Series HLA

Key advantages of the HLA Snow Pusher Design include:

• Radius back which releases snow instead of letting it stick
• Reinforced & tapered side panels eliminate cross braces that trap snow
• Totally enclosed backdrag option so snow can’t escape. No other pusher has this feature (1500/1800 Series only)!
• Bolt-on quick attach frame for more flexibility over time (JDQA, SSQA, and Yanmar Quick Attach available)
• Reversible, replaceable, and adjustable scraping edges (steel or rubber standard, UHMW upgrade)
• Replaceable, replaceable, and adjustable skid runners (steel standard, UHMW upgrade)

WHEN ORDERING A SNOW PUSHER, THESE ARE THE DECISIONS TO MAKE:

1. Series: 1500, 1800, 2500, 3500
2. Widths (in inches): 54, 60, 66, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144. Not all sizes available in all series
3. Color: Black is stocked. For a custom color, expect a long lead time.
4. Backdrag: Yes or No
5. Connection Type: JDQA, SSQA in all series. Yanmar QA only available in 1500 Series. Global available in 2500 and 3500 Series.
6. Replaceable edge for main pusher box: steel, rubber, or UHMW. UHMW is cut to length, ready for you to drill out and add your own hardware (hardware available for purchase here).
7. Edge for backdrag: The backdrag does have an integrated steel edge which is usable. Optional replaceable steel, rubber, and UHMW edges.
8. Skid Runners: Steel runners are included in the base price. Or you can opt for UHMW runners to protect your drive, or Extra Wide Steel Runners available for use on gravel surfaces, to help prevent the cutting edges from digging.
9. Assembly: If you select Pre-Assembly all components arrive bolted together with no assembly required by customer. *Always adjust skid shoes for your conditions upon arrival.

*For COMPLETE protection if you are pushing snow on asphalt, concrete, or other delicate surfaces, you will want rubber or UHMW on all contact points including edges and skid runners.

HLA 1800 Snow Pusher – Types of Cutting Edge

UHMW: (sometimes called poly or plastic) is best summed up by saying “it cuts like steel, but protects like rubber.” Great wear properties, cuts well through packed snow, very quiet, protective of paved/concrete surfaces. Lasts nearly as long as steel.

Hardware for UHMW cutting edges available in this listing.

Rubber: Protective of paved/concrete surfaces, very quiet, doesn’t cut packed snow at all, shortest life span.

Steel: Wears very well, cuts packed snow very well, but is hard on paved/concrete surfaces, leaves rust stains, and is loud. Great for gravel, stone, and other unpaved surfaces.

***NOTE: UHMW edges are cut to length, ready for you to drill out and add your own hardware.***

UHMW Installation is easy! This material cuts similar to wood, so the same tools can be used. Use the existing holes on the pusher components as your template. Then, drill out with a multipurpose drill bit matching the hole diameter. For backdrags and main edges, use 1/2″ x 3″ bolts with washers and lock nuts. No backer bars required.

IF YOU WANT MORE TRACTION (AND SAFETY) READ ON…

Every tractor utilizing a front-end loader needs counterweight. How much is specified in your tractor or loader manual. But in addition to safety, counterweight will improve your traction significant, something especially critical during the snowy months of the year.
