New RTV Remote-Operated Snowplow

New RTV Remote-Operated Snowplow ATV S 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 Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Sno-Power 520 W Hume Ave Muskegon Heights Mich 49444 ph 231-755-0707; info@sno-power com; www sno-power com
