Clamp on Snowplows Still a Big Hit
Earth & Turf Attachments developed the Clamp on Snowplows almost two decades ago and they are still selling well. Approximately 6-7 years ago, almost all the subcompact tractors and many of the compact tractors were not equipped with a quick attach connection like the skid steer universal system so selling clamp on plows was a great option for these tractor owners. Since then, the new tractors are being equipped from the factory with the universal quick attach system. Snowplows sales began to make a shift from clamp on to the universal QA mount. The fact is there are still a several hundred thousand tractors in service today that do not have a quick attach system that are candidates for clamp on plows. Snowplow sales are always tied to how much it snows, obviously. This year since more areas in the Midwest and East are seeing increased amounts of snow the activity has picked up and clamp on snowplow sales are doing great. The long-term trend will be toward the universal mount, but it will take several years before the clamp on snowplows see any great reduction simply because there is still a need.
If you find yourself wishing, you could make a snowplow work with your pin on bucket you have come to the right place. Earth & Turf Attachments has a unique clamp system with great holding power. The unique clamp system has a wide underframe that goes back 10-11″ under the bucket so when the heavy-duty clamps are tightened on the topside of the bucket it stiffens the bucket and makes it more solid which provides owners with a system that will give them years of service life without harming the bucket. We hope everyone has fun plowing snow this season and that you stay safe.
