An improved scraping edge for use on a plow blade employing at least one resilient scraping edge section for contact with a surface to be plowed and mounting holes to attach the scraping edge section to the plow blade.

Material, pusher with modular composite scraping edge

An improved material pusher or containment plow employing a floating vehicle-coupling system, a wear shoe, as well as a plurality of removable scraping edge sections.

Material pusher with floating coupler

An improved material pusher or containment plow employing a floating vehicle-coupling system, a modular composite scraping edge, a front-pivoting wear shoe with an adjustable angle, as well as water-shedding features. The disclosed containment plow and features are provide improved the surface outcome under various snow and ice conditions.

Material pusher with modular composite scraping edge

An improved material pusher or containment plow employing a floating vehicle-coupling system, a modular composite scraping edge, a front-pivoting wear shoe with an adjustable angle, as well as water-shedding features.

Material pusher with floating coupling and modular composite scraping edge

A pivot coupling system that permits the use of attachable equipment such as material pushers or containment plows with a range of vehicles including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility task vehicle (UTV), lawn and garden tractors, small farm tractors, small trucks, skid-steer loaders, etc.

Coupling for containment plows and pushers

Adjustable angle plow

Snow basket

A snow or material pushing device for plowing a surface including a moldboard with a scraper blade, and having side plates attached at either end. The side plates further include skid or wear shoes pivotally or rotationally affixed to the side plates to remain in full contact with the surface, thereby reducing the need to adjust and replace the scraper blade and wear shoes.

Surface compliant front-pivoting wear shoes for snow pusher

A material pushing apparatus is disclosed that has a central blade, at least one removable side plate attached to the central blade and a segmented scraping edge flexibly attached to the central blade along the bottom longitudinal edge of the blade. A position sensor is attached between the blade and the scraping edge and produces a position signal that is displayed to indicate the relative position between the blade and edge in order to characterize the amount of downward pressure applied to the scraping edge. Other aspects and features of the disclosed apparatus include a tilt sensor and display, and an improved coupler having shock-absorbing features and a cam-type clamping arrangement.

Material pusher with control system

Disclosed herein are various aspects of an improved snow or material pushers for use with loaders, backhoes, agricultural and larger home and garden tractors and the like for moving snow or other materials on generally flat areas such as parking lots, driveways, feed lots, runways, and loading areas. The improvements include, among others, a reversible design, extended side plates and/or wear shoes as well as improved scraping edge configurations so as to provide added functionality and versatility to pushers. As described the various features may be employed alone or in combination to provide the capability for snow and ice removal while minimizing the potential for damage to surfaces and objects thereon.
