Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new

product owners.

This Snow Pusher has been designed with care and built

by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper

assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will

help you get years of satisfactory use from this

attachment.

Application

Land Pride’s SPL05 Series Snow Pushers are available

in popular sizes to fit your 60 and 70 BX tractor loader

equipped with or without a BX Quick Hitch. They are

designed to push snow and other loose materials straight

ahead without leaving windrows on the side or damaging

the pavement below when using the optional poly snow

blade.

The 05 Series is manufactured in 48" and 60" widths with

12 Ga. moldboard and 18" tall side panels.

The SPL05 Snow Pushers feature replaceable skid

shoes. The Snow Pushers have an optional 3/8" X 4"

steel cutting edge or optional 1/2" X 6" poly cutting edge.

The poly cutting edge helps prevent marking and other

damage to surfaces. Another optional feature of these

Snow Pushers is the pull back blade. The pull back blade

is great for pulling snow back from structures such as

garage doors. Orange markers are available as an

accessory to assist in locating the outer ends of the Snow

Pusher. The orange markers can not be used in

conjunction with the pull back option.

See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 18 and

“Features & Benefits” on page 19 for additional

information and performance enhancing options.

General Operating Instructions

Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s

Manual, completed the operating checklist, and properly

attached your Land Pride Snow Pusher to your tractor

loader, you are about ready to begin work. The Snow

Pusher is ideal for pushing snow off of driveways and

small parking lots or any other areas you want cleared of

snow. They also can be used to help clear soft materials

from areas such as feed lots, grain floors, etc.

Hopefully, you have checked out your work site for any

obstructions that you do not want to damage or to

encounter. Remove or flag any obstructions before

beginning your work.

The Snow Pusher’s primary purpose is to move snow or

other loose materials and pile it up. This function is best

done at an approximate 2 to 4 MPH ground speed.

Simply lower the Snow Pusher until it is resting on the

skid shoes and proceed forward. The blade should

immediately begin collecting snow or other loose

materials between the side panels and clearing an area

in front of you. You can transfer this material by pushing it

forward to a nearby location and then raising the Snow

Pusher to deposit your load. As the discharge pile builds,

you will want to tilt the top to the hitch back to push the

product up and onto the pile.

If using the pull back option, extend the loader hitch tilt

cylinders until the bottom edge of the pull back frame is

parallel with the paved surface. Lower the Snow Pusher

to carry the pull back blade slightly above the snow.

Slowly approach the snow close to a wall or garage door

making sure you stop before getting too close. Lower pull

back until its blade and frame are resting on the paved

surface. Making sure no one is behind you, start backing

up to pull snow away. Keep backing up until you have

pulled the snow far enough that you can now remove the

pile by pushing the pile forward with the Snow Pusher.

Achieving the desired effect will require a little

experimentation and experience for your given condition.

With a little practice, you should become a very good

operator consistently achieving the desired results you

expect with your Land Pride Snow Pusher.

See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 18 and

“Features & Benefits” on page 19 for additional

information and performance enhancing options.

Operating Tip: Operate Snow Pusher with skid

shoes making full contact with the ground from front

to back. Don’t apply a lot of down pressure on the

skid shoes. If available, operate with loader arms in

float.
