10' Skid Steer Snow Plow — Hydraulic Angle (10–25 GPM)

Will This Fit Your Machine?

There are two questions to answer here. Most sellers only ask you the first one.

1. Flow — the easy question

You need 10 to 25 GPM. GPM means gallons per minute — it is how much hydraulic fluid your machine can push out to power tools like this plow.

The blade does not need flow to push snow. It needs flow to turn left and right. Almost any machine with extra hydraulics (called "auxiliary hydraulics") can do this.

• Bobcat T740 — makes 23 GPM. Yes, it fits.
• Kubota SVL75-3 — makes 19.2 GPM. Yes, it fits.
• CAT 259D3 — makes 20.0 GPM. Yes, it fits.

Case drain: You do not need one. A case drain is an extra hydraulic line that some spinning motors need to send oil back safely. This plow just uses cylinders to turn the blade — no motor — so it does not need one.

2. Weight out front — the part that really matters

This blade is 10 feet wide and sticks way out in front of your machine. If it is too heavy for your loader, the loader can tip forward. That can happen on a slope, or if you hit a curb you did not see. This is a safety question, not just a performance one.

Here is the math for three common machines. We already did the subtraction for you.

• Bobcat T740 — can lift 3,200 lb total (called ROC, or rated operating capacity — the safe weight limit). Minus the 1,050 lb blade = 2,150 lb left over. Plenty of room.
• CAT 259D3 — 2,010 lb ROC minus the 1,050 lb blade = 960 lb left over — the tightest margin of the three, but still a real pass.
• Kubota SVL75-3 — 2,490 lb ROC minus the 1,050 lb blade = 1,440 lb left over. Still fine, but this is close. If your machine lifts less than this, get the 8-foot plow instead.

If your machine's ROC is under 2,000 lb, do not buy this 10-foot blade. Tell us your make and model and we will tell you the right size — even if that means smaller than you wanted.

Check These Two Numbers On Your Own Machine

Do not take a flyer's word for "fits most skid steers." Both numbers above are printed on your machine, not just in a brochure.

• GPM (flow): look for a decal near the auxiliary hydraulic couplers — the quick-connect fittings on the front of the lift arm. If there is no decal, it is in the operator's manual or on the manufacturer's spec sheet online.
• ROC (lift capacity): look for a rating plate on the machine, usually near the operator's seat, or check the spec sheet. As a rough rule, standard-flow machines run about 17–24 GPM and high-flow machines run about 30–38 GPM — but read your own machine's number, not the category it falls into.

Plow or pusher? They are not the same tool.

• Plow (this one) — turns left and right as you drive. It throws snow off to the side. Good for driveways and long lanes.
• Pusher — does not turn. It is a fixed box with wings on the sides. It carries snow straight ahead. Good for big open parking lots.

Clearing parking lots? Buy the pusher — it moves more snow per pass. Clearing roads and driveways? This plow is the right tool.

Do not buy this one if

• Your machine's ROC is under 2,000 lb. Go smaller. This is the one case where the wrong choice can hurt you, not just disappoint you.
• You clear big open lots. Buy the pusher instead — it moves two to three times more snow per pass.
• You need it right now and it is already December. Snow gear ships on a lead time, and the whole industry runs out once the first storm hits. Order in September or October.

Getting It To The Job

Federal rules cap trailer width at 102 in (8 ft 6 in) without an oversize permit. This blade is 120 in (10 ft) straight on — wider than that. Angle the blade before you strap it down and it narrows enough to haul on a standard trailer. Check your own trailer's width before you order, not after.

Specifications

Total cost, before you check out

Shipping is free, built into the price above — no surprises at checkout. This plow is under 1,500 lb, so liftgate delivery is available. A liftgate lowers the crate to the ground so you do not need a forklift.

Buy it before winter, not during it. There is a tax rule called Section 179. It lets you deduct the full price of this plow in the same year you start using it — worth asking your accountant about.
