Rear-Mount Push or Pull Snowplow
You can push or pull snow with the Drag Pro 180Z from BOSS Products. The rear-mounted, 8-ft. blade has two additional 4-ft. wings that can independently pivot 180 degrees. Mounted to a 3/4 or 1-ton truck equipped with a front blade, the Drag Pro can boost productivity and cut time on the job by 50 percent.
“You can retain snow going forward with the wings turned to the front or push it back with the wings turned to the rear,” says Mike Mindok, BOSS Products.
Equipped with independent cylinders, one wing can be turned to the rear while the other can be turned to the front. Either one can be set at a 45 or 90-degree angle.
Mindok points to the placement of the hydraulic cylinders between the blade and the truck’s bumper. “You can back up right to the garage door,” he says.
The 24-in. high moldboard is fabricated from 7-ga. steel and features a 1 1/4-in. by 6-in. cutting edge. With wings folded, the rear blade has a 100-in. width. Fully extended, it measures 16 ft.
The blade weighs in at 1,450 lbs. with the hitch assembly. It’s equipped with LED work lights.
The Drag Pro 180Z has UMHW poly cutting blades that will last longer and not chip concrete like steel blades can. Blade edging protects the blade from the curb.
The quick hitch attaching system is unique to BOSS Products. It uses both a 5th wheel and a service hitch attachment for greater stability. The hitch has an on/off lever and an electrical switch to raise and lower the blade as needed for easier attaching and detaching.
If a wing hits an obstacle, no shear pins will break. The hydraulic relief feature kicks in to protect the blade.
BOSS Product distributors and dealers can be found on the company website. Check with local dealers for pricing. Online dealer Crysteel Truck posted a price of $8,930 (not assembled).
