Inverted Plows, Is this just a Canadian thing ?

Hi Everyone,

this is something that we use here a lot because of its speed and efficiency, but does anyone do it South of the border?

There not used out east( Nova Scotia) and I'd even say that in Canada there only common in ,Northern NB, Quebec And possibly Ontario.
The use of farm tractors for commercial snow removal is less common outside of these area too. Only recently have I noticed farm tractors being used at some shopping centre lots around halifax.

That's interesting. I haven't seen them before.

Can they be turned around to be used the regular way as well as inverted?

I think these would be even better if the "wings" were on both sides and could be used as both Push/Pull without having to flip/move anything around. But then again, we don't get the snow like you guys do, and I'm thinking that pushing it would just eventually lead to huge snow banks.

Makes sense for attached garage suburbia, with the short driveways. Pull the snow out into the street, and blow it into the yard.

That's why I have the back blade on the tractor. Flip it around to push heavier snow going in reverse, or keep it straight so I can pull snow from in front of the garage and steps.

I was expecting a collection of these:

These models can`t be used to push, others like the extendable reversible can but these are used exclusively for pulling. I just have not seen many outside this region.

Ya, these are specifically for those condos with short drives etc,
I still don't see why they couldn't have a regular front blade to back drag to the road.

I back drag a 9ft fisher when needed and there's no comparison, these will move a large pile of snow, one pass, with little spillage.
