Motor flow rate should be optimized to match your loader’s GPM rate. Matching proper GPM to the proper displacement motor will yield the best throwing performance. Running a higher GPM than the motor is rated for can potentially damage the motor and will void the warranty. All Virnig skid steer attachments with hydraulic motors have a zero overflow rating to prevent premature failure.

The Virnig Snow Blower is one of the only skid steer snow blowers to employ a paddle auger. This style is extremely effective at breaking up and throwing hard packed snow, while still performing well in light, fluffy snow.

Throw distance is important when moving snow away from the blown path. Overall, throw distance can be affected by many factors and should not be used as a baseline for determining snow blower effectiveness. This is only one of many important factors to consider before purchasing a new skid steer snow blower.

The fan shroud housing is made of 3/16” thick steel. Many other shrouds on snowblowers are not as durable and will deform. A damaged shroud allows debris to become lodged in the shroud and can dramatically reduce the blower’s ability to load snow through the chute.

Generally, higher GPM is better. Higher GPM provides more torque which allows the Virnig Snow Blower to continue turning the auger and throw further in any condition. There may be situations in which this is not true. For more information, contact your local dealer.

For efficient operation, purchase a snow blower with a cut width that is wider than the tires or tracks of your loader.

Loader capacity should also be considered. Selecting a skid steer attachment that is too wide will add weight, volume, and surface area, all factors that could affect performance.

Standard pressure relief valves protect the motor and the loader’s hydraulic system from damaging pressure spikes. When the maximum pressure point is reached, the valve opens to prevent pressure from rising any further. This prevents seals or other internal components from breaking due to excessive pressure.

Virnig attachments are rated to provide maximum performance and protection against damage when paired with an appropriately sized loader. Here’s a checklist to get the right attachment for your loader.

All Virnig skid steer attachments are manufactured with a universal mount to fit most skid steer loaders. The mounting frame is built to ISO 24410 and SAE J2513 standards.

All Virnig mini skid steer attachments are manufactured with a Toro®/mini universal mount, Bobcat® mount, or ASV® mount.

Most Virnig attachments are ready to work right off the pallet.

To minimize setup time, Virnig Manufacturing requires the machine brand and model to be listed in every order for attachments with hydraulic components. This ensures proper hose length, routing, and coupler sizing. In addition, all hydraulic Virnig Attachments are tested for leaks and proper operation before leaving the factory. There may be specific scenarios in which additional setup time will be required.

Most parts for Virnig skid steer attachments are available in-stock and can be shipped as early as the same day the order is received. Fabricated and back ordered parts are available with a reasonable lead time. Virnig uses several shipping options to provide timely and cost effective delivery to customers.

Check with a local Virnig dealer for replacement part availability.

All Virnig parts and attachments are warranted for one year from the end user’s date of purchase, or the dealer’s date of first rental/demonstration. If the warranty period has expired, a sales receipt or first rental slip will be required for warranty consideration.

Virnig uses NitroSteel® cylinder rods because they are a superior performing alternative to chrome plating. The finish offers improved corrosion resistance and better grease retention.

Chrome plated cylinder rods can flake or pit and destroy the seals or other internal components; resulting in downtime and expensive repairs.

A NitroSteel® rod will perform better and increase the service life of a cylinder, making it the cost-effective choice. Learn more about the benefits of the NitroSteel® process.
