Heavy Duty Poly Blade Assembly The poly blade is based on a seven rib configuration with the two pivot ribs made of ½" thick steel, making for a rugged stand alone frame that has a 3/8" thick HD polyethylene skin bolted to it. The use of the poly skin greatly reduces the rolling friction, imparted particularly by wet sticky snow. This results in the benefit of more snow moving per pass. Additionally there is reduced strain on the power train, and a saving in fuel usage. The profile and position of the plow blade is such that the top edge of the blade leads over the bottom by 8". This fact allows for a very smooth but quick rolling action of the snow coming off the surface of the blade, causing snow to be thrown a greater distance, avoiding bulky windrows. Due to the velocity of the snow coming off the blade, the poly blade incorporates a 6" snow deflector thereby preventing snow from coming up into the windshield. The poly blade uses dish shaped skid shoes that provide for improved surface clearance while plowing forward, and at the same time prevents snagging when back dragging. The hardened high carbon steel cutting edge is top hole punched, in order to give this style of blade a better attack angle, and back dragging ability. The quadrant and A-frame assembly joins the blade with three 3/4" open pins, which makes for no seizing of the pins, and easy replacement if broken. This blade assembly uses four tension springs to keep the blade upright and allows for the addition of a shock absorber kit if needed. The plow has a full 30° angle to the left and right, through the 1½" x 10" power angle cylinders. This plow is available in 90" (7½'), 96" (8'), 102" (8½'), and 108" (9') sizes.
