Snow blade angle

Recommended Posts

Just wondering why are there four choices to angle a dozer blade.   I suspect it has something to do with how aggressive you want  your cutting edge to be for what ever you  are pushing.

Yup.  The closer to vertical the cutting edge is, the less aggressive it gets.  Won't  dig in at all if it is leaning forward.

I plow three flat concrete drives, but one has a few elevated joints. I keep the blade top leaning slightly forward so that it doesn't catch the lip on those joints giving me and the tractor a jolt... yes it reduces cutting action, but 9/10 times i don't need it...

Are we talking side angling or tilt of the moldboard from vertical??

Trina and I only ever use the middle two settings.

The super scooper I've been messing around with for a few weeks is set at the second one down.

All of our other plows are set in the third hole down which gives the plow a much more talk forward set.

We find that this greatly reduces the amount of unwanted digging into the driveway surface and has the added bonus of helping the snow roll to the sides of the plow quite a lot better.
