A snow blower shovel attachment apparatus for using a snow blower as a plow for wet snow includes a frame coupled to a shovel blade. The frame has a horizontal portion extending from a back face of the shovel blade and a vertical portion extending from the horizontal portion to above a top edge of the shovel blade. A plurality of attachment brackets is coupled to the frame. The plurality of attachment brackets includes a pair of upper attachment brackets coupled to a top end of the vertical portion of the frame and a pair of lower attachment brackets coupled to a bottom end of the vertical portion of the frame. The upper attachment brackets pivotably engage an auger housing of a snow blower and the lower attachment brackets selectively engage the auger housing.

Embodiments of the invention provide a snowblower comprising a body including a pair of ground contacting members disposed at a bottom portion of the body, a blade for scraping the ground, the blade being secured at the bottom portion of the body, a snow blowing mechanism disposed in the body and an impeller housing located in the snow blowing mechanism, the impeller housing including an impeller rotation axis thereof disposed non-parallel with a horizontal ground when the snowblower is in an optimal levelled operation position, the impeller rotation axis being angled to increase a height of an impeller drive in direction of a power source.

The present technology generally relates to an auto-release cable management assembly for operating a work implement mountable to an implement mounting assembly of a vehicle, the auto-release cable management assembly comprising: a mounting structure connectable to the implement mounting assembly; the mounting structure forming a first underside guide surface for guiding a retractable cable operatively connectable to the vehicle; a hook connected to the mounting structure and suitable for retaining the retractable cable; a gate structured and positioned with respect to the hook to be movable between an open position in which the hook is accessible to the retractable cable, and a closed position in which the hook is inaccessible to the retractable cable; and a guide forming a second underside guide surface for guiding the retractable cable towards the hook and the gate.

A monitoring system that monitors at least one component of a cutting edge supported on an implement, the monitoring system comprising a monitor controller; at least one sensor in sensing communication with the at least one component, the at least one sensor configured to monitor wear of the at least one component; wherein the at least one sensor is connected to the monitor controller to communicate a sensor signal indicative of the wear of the at least one component to the monitor controller; the monitor controller including an output, wherein upon receiving a selected signal from the at least one sensor, the monitor controller is configured to communicate an alert via the output.

A triangular-shaped snow shovel and a snow removal method are described. The snow shovel can include a reinforced handlebar, equipped with a soft foam grip, the handlebar extends to the snow shovel attached with two pins and two clicks to hold the snow shovel. The snow shovel has two sides that end in a rounded shape in the shape of skies to prevent the shovel from getting stuck. The method may include the triangular snow shovel and a different method of removing snow without it accumulating in front of the shovel due to its triangular shape which causes snow to come off one side of the shovel.

A snow plow is pivotally mounted to a tractor by a compound mount allowing for multiple blade positions. The mount has an inner portion pivotally mounted about a first horizontal axis to the front of the tractor and an outer portion pivotally mounted about a vertical axis to the inner portion. The plow blade is pivotally mounted about a second horizontal axis to the outer portion. Deicer nozzles spray liquid and a spreader distributes salt and other materials in front of the front wheels of the tractor.

A clearing strip for the clearing shield of a snow plow has a front steel plate and a rear steel plate between which an elastic rubber layer with at least one hard material body embedded in the rubber compound thereof is incorporated by vulcanization. The hard material body is movable relative to the steel plates with elastic deformation of the rubber compound. To better secure the hard material bodies embedded in the rubber compound against uncontrolled fall-out from the clearing strip upon overheating, each individual hard material body is anchored within the clearing strip by an additional anchoring device that does not limit the movability of the hard material bodies relative to the steel plates.

A snowplow assembly for attachment to a vehicle, comprising a first plow blade assembly and a second plow blade assembly, connectable to each other by a hinge; a support assembly fixedly couplable to the first plow blade assembly; and wherein the first and second plow blade assemblies are configured to be angularly adjustable relative to at least a portion of the support assembly.

A V-blade for a snowplow, a snowplow incorporating the V-blade and a method of use thereof. The blade includes left and right wings engaged with a central shaft. A trip edge is provided on each wing and includes a lower section of moldboard, a cutting edge, and snow shield engaged with an upper section of the moldboard via a biasing assembly. The assembly biases the trip edge into alignment with the upper section. When an obstacle on the surface is struck by the trip edge, the trip edge pivots relative to the upper section about a horizontal axis extending along a shaft of the biasing assembly. A translation assembly causes the trip edge to move laterally in a first direction away from the central shaft and parallel to the vertical axis extending therealong. The trip edge returns to its original position under spring force.

A snow plow having a wing that is rotatably coupled to a side of a primary plow, and configured to rotate about an axis relative to a side of the primary plow. The wing may include a window that allows passage of light output from the vehicle headlamps.
