The controller is configured to extend the first cylinder freely based on the received signal and an amount of articulation. The controller is also configured to receive a signal indicative of the articulation of the machine towards the first side from the second side from the articulation determination device. The controller is further configured to lock the first cylinder in an extended position based on the received signal.

Plow assembly with wings
10358782 · 2019-07-23 · ·

A plow assembly includes a mounting structure configured to mount at a vehicle, a center plow attached at the mounting structure, and a plow wing mounted at an end of the center plow via a first attachment assembly and a second attachment assembly. Each of the first and second attachment assemblies includes an elongated attachment element and a biasing element. The elongated attachment element attaches a respective rear portion of the plow wing at the center plow and engages the biasing element at the rear of the center plow. The biasing element allows for movement of the attachment element at the rear of the center plow to allow for pivotal movement of the plow wing relative to the center plow. The biasing element limits pivotal movement of the plow wing and biases the plow wing towards a neutral state, where the plow wing is generally normal to the center plow.

Adjustable snow plow

An adjustable snow plow having a center unit; at least one extender wing; a square channel connected to said center unit; at least one mounting bracket connected to said center unit wherein the at least one extender wing is connected to the center unit via the square channel, and the mounting bracket is selectably attachable to a vehicle. The adjustable snow plow is able to vary the width of the plow blade so as to accommodate a number of different locations for which snow may need to be removed. The adjustable plow may be a straight blade plow, or a partially straight blade plow that allows for the user of the adjustable plow to dictate in which direction the desired snow is displaced.

SNOW PLOW ROTATING SIDEWALL WITH SUSPENSION
20240200295 · 2024-06-20 ·

A snow plow blade assembly has sidewalls rotating when abutting an obstacle and returning to the default position when not abutting the obstacle anymore. The snow plow blade assembly comprises a central section comprising a pivot axis; sidewall assemblies pivotably mounted to the central section; and suspension assemblies mounted to the central section. The suspension assemblies connect the central section and the sidewall assembly distant from the pivot axis. The suspension assemblies may comprise a hydraulic jack controllable between an extended position and a compact position, wherein the suspension assemblies allows the sidewall assemblies to pivot up to a first angle when contacting an obstacle and to pivot to a second angle greater than the first angle by changing the position of the hydraulic jack.

Snow-clearing trailer with secure drawbar locking
12000100 · 2024-06-04 · ·

Snow-clearing trailer (1) having a chassis (5) extending longitudinally in a chassis direction (I-I) and having a drawbar (9). Pivoting means (11) allow the selective pivoting movement of the chassis (5) and the drawbar (9) with respect to one another. A drawbar locking bar (12) of fixed length can be attached to the drawbar (9) and to the chassis (5) so as to immobilize the drawbar (9) on the chassis (5) in a transport position. Detection means (13) generate an attachment signal when the drawbar locking bar (12) is attached to the drawbar (9) and to the chassis (5). The detection means (13) and disabling means are arranged in such a way that when the detection means (13) generate an attachment signal, the disabling means prevent any actuation of the pivoting means (11).
