Why It’s Important to Service Your Snowplow in the Fall

Fall is here! As the leaves start to change, it’s easy to forget about the impending winter storms. But if you own a snow plow or rely on one to keep your property or business accessible during the snowy months, now is the time to act. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of servicing your snowplow in the fall and provide you with a comprehensive checklist to ensure you’re ready for the white stuff that’s just around the corner.

Fall is the ideal time for maintenance 

Why should you service your snowplow in the fall, you ask? Well, timing is everything. Fall is the perfect season for this task. Waiting until the snow is falling and temperatures plummet is a recipe for stress and potential disaster. Here’s why:

  • Snowplow servicing in the fall allows you to catch and address issues before they become major problems during winter operations.
  • It ensures your snow plow is in peak condition when you need it most, reducing the chances of breakdowns during heavy snowfall.
  • It’s often more cost-effective to address maintenance and repairs in the fall than to deal with expensive emergency repairs in the middle of a winter storm.

Extend the Lifespan of Your Snowplow

Your snowplow is an essential tool for winter snow removal. To keep it running smoothly season after season, you must perform preventative maintenance. Here are some key components to inspect and maintain:

  • Plow Blade: Clean and inspect it for damage. A well-maintained blade cuts through snow more efficiently.
  • Moving Parts: Check and lubricate all moving parts, such as hinges and pins, to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
  • Hydraulic System: Test and replace hydraulic fluids if necessary to maintain optimal performance.
  • Electrical System: Inspect and replace worn-out wiring to ensure your lights and controls work reliably.
  • Hoses: Check hydraulic hoses for leaks and wear, addressing any issues promptly.
  • Cutting Edge: Examine the cutting edge and replace it if it’s worn down to maintain effectiveness
  • Lift Frame: Lubricate the lift frame and pivot points to prevent rust and ensure smooth lifting.
  • Winch and Lift Mechanisms: Test and service these critical components to avoid breakdowns.
  • Safety Features: Verify that all safety features and lights are functioning correctly.
  • Frame and Mounting Hardware: Inspect the plow’s frame and mounting hardware for integrity.
  • Tires: Ensure tires are properly inflated to provide stability and traction.
  • Salt Spreader (if applicable): Clean and inspect it for winter readiness.

Conclusion

Servicing your snowplow in the fall isn’t just a good idea; it’s a proactive measure that can save you time, money, and stress during the winter months. By following our checklist for fall snow plow maintenance, you’ll ensure that your plow is in peak condition, ready to tackle whatever winter throws your way. Don’t wait until the first snowfall; schedule your maintenance now and enjoy a worry-free winter season.

Boss Snowrator

When this winter season hits and the first snow blast happens you want to make sure you have the right products that will help you clear the snow. If you ask a snow and ice contractor about how to manage sidewalks, they will inform you about its many challenges. However, The BOSS Snowrator will reduce the need for shovels, maximizing productivity and efficiency. This could be used in metro, commercial or residential environments, where clean and clear walking surfaces are always the top priority. The Snowrator quickly deploys to plow and de-ice surface area- effectively reducing the need for shovels. A Snowrator will save you time with its many features like, allowing the operator to brine, spread, and plow at the same time to maximize on-the-job productivity and profitability. Check out this video on The BOSS Snowrator in action!

Mounting BOSS Snowplows

Making sure to know how to mount your BOSS snow plow to your trailer is very critical to do prior to the first snowfall. If you want a snow plow that can do a little more than just a regular straight blade you may want to check out the Boss V Blade. This blade works just like a straight blade and can move side to side without any mechanics. However, they have an extra feature which is scooping. We have an instructional video that will explain how easy you can do this, along with advantages to the Boss V blade! Check it out below!

Safety Tips When Using Snow Throwers

Safety Tips When Using Snow Throwers

If you are going to be using a snow thrower this winter, one of your top priorities should always be safety. Failure to do so could results in bodily harm or injury.

Suburban Lawn Equipment is here to help prevent any accidents from occurring with these helpful safety tips when using a snow thrower! Keep reading!

Safety Tips When Using Snow Throwers

  1. Clear debris before using. It’s important to keep in mind that the snow thrower is a powerful piece of equipment and it will pick up debris or rocks in its path. To avoid damage clear the area before use.
  2. Wear appropriate clothing. Clothing and other accessories are at risk of becoming entangled in the moving parts of the snow thrower. Avoid wearing long scarves, dangling jewelry, or any other form of loose clothing while operating this machinery.
  3. Go with the wind. Whenever possible, do not fight the wind. Try to point the chute downwind so that it helps blow snow.
  4. Avoid severe weather conditions. You should always avoid operating a snow thrower during heavy snowfall or minimal visibility. Waiting for heavy snowfall to pass is the recommended time to start using the snow thrower.
  5. NEVER use hands/feet to clear a clog. If you experience a clog or blockage you should first shut off the equipment, and then use either a long clean out tool, stick or broom to dislodge snow or debris from the moving parts.

How To Choose The Right Snow Thrower For The Job

How To Choose The Right Snow Thrower For The Job

It’s almost winter season, which means getting up to a fresh coat of snow more often than not. While it might be the most magical time of the year, for many of us homeowners it means a lot of additional work…

Depending on where you live, you might have to deal with shoveling your driveway or backyard almost every single day. However, what if we told you that this chore doesn’t have to be so painful? Just let the Snow Thrower do the heavy lifting for you!

In today’s post, we gathered all the information you need to Choose The Right Snow Thrower For The Job.

the right snow thrower for the job

How To Choose The Right Snow Thrower For The Job

  1. Backyard/ driveway size – Bigger equipment doesn’t always equal to a better job. Electric snow blowers can clear light snow from sidewalks and small driveways. For smaller driveways, single-stage units can do the job. For driveways over 60 feet, choose a two- or three-stage unit.
  2. Surface type – For level surfaces, use auger-assisted, push-propelled models. Engine-driven wheels will work best for sloped terrain. If you need more traction, you can use tire chains with some models.
  3. Snowfall size – Up to 12” – Use an Electric Snow Thrower. 13” – Single-stage, 23.5” – Two-stage, and up to 21” – Three-stage.
  4. Snowfall kind – Single-stage units can handle light snow. To cut through wet, hard snow or ice, go for a two-stage unit. If you need to get the job done in less time, go for a three-stage snow thrower.
  5. Usage – Pick snow blowers that are well designed and easy to handle for an individual, such as this single-stage Honda snow thrower. 

Still not sure what snow throwers is appropriate for your needs? Make sure to stop by Suburban Lawn Equipment in Wilmington, Delaware! Our outdoor power equipment experts will be happy to assist you! we will assist you.

How to Choose a Snow Removal Company

If the idea of shoveling or using a snow blower on a wintry day makes you cringe, you may want to consider hiring a snow removal company before the white stuff  gets here.

A variety of companies and contractors  offer this seasonal service.  So, how do you choose one? Cheaper is not always better.  It is important to do a little research and to ask some pertinent questions , such as:

  • Is the company reputable?
  • How long has it been in business?
  • What are the payment terms?
  • Are they insured?
  • What type of equipment do they use?
  • Will they return in spring to repair any damage?

It is wise to interview several contractors and get quotes for comparisons.  Also, be sure to get a written contract, do not rely on verbal assurances.  Finally, check with your local Better Business Bureau to be sure the company has no complaints and see what type of rating they have.

By doing your homework, you can find a snow removal contractor that you can trust and rely on for many winters to come. And if you decide to do it yourself, you may want to invest in a quality snow thrower. We carry a full line of residential and commercial snow removal equipment. Stop by Suburban today.
