New RTV Remote-Operated Snowplow
 ✖  |
Sno-Power has a new snowplow designed specifically for Kubota RTVs. The electric-over-hydraulic system on the U7 is designed like a truck-style snowplow with a push cylinder and wing cylinders to handle hidden obstacles. The operator controls the U7 with a remote.
“It has a push cylinder on the 20-in. wide center section that provides a 4-in. cushion to absorb shocks,” says Rick Knuth, Sno-Power. “The 32-in. wings also have nitrogen cylinders to smooth the shock when they trip.”
Knuth explains the use of nitrogen cylinders instead of springs as a matter of controlling pressure. With springs, pressure can reach thousands of pounds before they trip. A nitrogen cylinder trips when compressed to 500 to 800 lbs.
“The resulting impact with a cylinder is much smoother and easier on equipment,” adds Knuth.
The cutting edge on the U7 is another unusual feature, according to Knuth. “I don’t know of any other UTV snowplow with a hardened 3/8-in. cutting edge,” he says. “It also has a light system integrated to remote control.”
The U7 was introduced this past October after a customer requested a snowplow for his RTV. At this time the company has no plans to modify it for use on other UTVs. With many of the same features as full-size truck snowplows, it’s priced at $9,000 MSRP.
