There are many factors to consider when purchasing a V60 Steel Edge Snow Pusher. A few are listed below.

1. Consider the loader’s operating capacity. For all V60 Steel Edge Snow Pusher models, Virnig recommends at least 1500 lbs in operating capacity.
2. The overall size of your loader and type of tire or track. Some smaller loaders may have the lift capacity to use an SESP but cannot push the weight of a fully loaded SESP120. Some do not have snow tracks or tires and cannot get proper traction. In both of these cases, a smaller SESP is recommended.
3. The size of the area to be plowed. If the area is a parking lot a wider attachment like the SESP120 with more volume will increase your efficiency (provided the above factors are met). If the area to plow is a driveway, then a narrower model such as the SESP84 may be a better fit.

Selecting a pusher that is too wide will add weight, volume, and surface area, all factors that could affect performance. Contact your local Virnig dealer or Virnig at 800-648-2408 for more information regarding pusher width.

The V60 Steel Edge Snow Pusher is able to push a large quantity of snow and utilize a Pull Back option like the V50 Low Profile Snow Pusher, but also offers the ability to cut through hard packed snow and ice like an V60 Angle Snow Blade. With no hydraulics, the V60 Steel Edge Snow Pusher is simple to operate and can pile snow as tall as the skid loader’s arms can reach.

Only a steel cutting edge can be ordered as a factory installed option, though a poly blade kit for an Angle Snow Blade will directly bolt in as an option. One needs to purchase the full Steel Edge Snow Pusher and then order a poly edge kit additionally.

A poly edge is an alternative to steel and in many applications will wear similarly on most surfaces but not gouge like steel. Poly edges are also lighter in weight and identical in price to steel.

The moldboard is connected to the quick tach plate by a large pin that gives the V60 Steel Edge Snow Pusher +/- 4 degrees of rotational oscillation. This system allows the pusher to travel across uneven areas and still maintain solid contact with the ground.

The tension is set by the springs and is non-adjustable. The edge cannot be locked out because if an object is hit hard enough the edge is designed to trip. Locking out the trip edge could damage the attachment, the skid steer, or worse the operator. Locking out the trip edge should never be done.

With full blade trip, when hitting a short obstacle such as a manhole cover or curb, the entire blade will roll over. Small objects will cause the skid steer to slow down and could make plowing much more disruptive. Virnig uses trip-edges with a rigid moldboard to minimize these plowing interruptions and provide safety. Virnig Snow Blades are designed to trip in all positions.

Because trip edge integrity is determined by down pressure, it is difficult to properly use your plow on unpacked dirt or gravel without destroying the surface. By using the machine tilt and arms to keep the blade slightly above the ground, you will build a base of hard packed snow and ice. Once the hard pack is set, down pressure may be applied. This is the most effective method to keep the edge from tripping.

When plowing on asphalt or concrete, raise or remove the plow shoes so the cutting edge will scrape as close to the surface as possible.

No. Virnig recommends that you should never use this skid steer attachment on anything other than snow.

Floating side plates allow consistent down pressure on the cutting edge. Since the side plates don’t support the pusher’s weight, it allows the pusher’s cutting edge to stay in constant contact with ground for a clean finish.

Other Snow Pushers have solid side plates that must be adjusted as the edge wears. These can be difficult to evenly adjust. As the cutting edge wears the side plates may prevent the cutting edge from engaging the surface and leave a thin layer of snow behind.

The Pull Back option allows the operator to remove snow next to large objects and buildings by rolling the Snow Pusher forward and dragging backwards. This Pull Back is perfect for finishing work in a lot, removal next to buildings, or any place back-dragging is an option.

Yes. Snow Pushers can be used for any light materials moving/handling – which includes water, mud, sludge, silage, grain, manure, and trash.

No. The edge never requires adjustment. The frame oscillation compensates for edge wear. Once the edge is worn to the steel it simply needs to be flipped over to utilize the other edge.

Yes, the Snow Pusher will be able to pile snow as high as the operator’s skid steer can reach. This gives users the ability to strategically set up stacking points in the work area to keep snow piles away from heavy traffic areas.

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.
