Ignite Attachments Expands Snow Tool Lineup with Snow Blades, Blowers and Pushers
Ignite Attachments, a manufacturer of compact equipment attachments, adds to its growing lineup of products with new snow tools. The company launched a line of commercial-grade snow blades for heavy-duty snow removal tasks. Also, Ignite beefed up existing snow tool lines to provide more efficiency. These include an optional hydraulic rotation chute for its line of 3-point snow blowers, allowing operators to aim snow from the comfort of their tractor seat, and a new 10-foot snow pusher for maximum efficiency.
Commercial-grade snow blades
Headlining Ignite’s winter tool lineup is the new snow blade series. The line is designed for commercial use and long life in the most extreme work conditions. Available in 72-, 84-, 94- and 108-inch models, these heavy-duty attachments allow skid steer and compact track loader operators to cut through deep snow. It features a heavy-duty construction, with reinforced frame and attachment points, and a reversable hardened steel cutting edge for the confidence to tackle heavy snow year after year. Operators can position the blade 28-degrees left or right with single-cylinder operation for maximum efficiency with each pass.
The snow blade line delivers fast ROI and a long service life thanks to high-quality components, including Faster brand couplers and Parker hydraulic lines as well as 11-gauge steel construction. The adjustable spring-loaded blade trip helps protect attachment and machine from snow-covered obstacles to minimize downtime and repair costs. Standard blade guide markers boost visibility and snow-clearing precision.
Ignite snow blades work with standard hydraulic flow rates, allowing operators to use existing equipment and maximize versatility.
Hydraulic rotation snowblower chute option
For compact tractor operators, Ignite now offers an optional hydraulic rotation chute for its line of 3-point snow blower attachments. This upgrade saves time and effort when blowing snow, allowing operators to change the direction of snow placement without stepping off their tractor. The hydraulic rotation chute and 3-point snowblower attachments operate off the tractor’s rear auxiliary hydraulics for better equipment utilization and ROI. Snowblower models work with compact tractors ranging from 15 to 65 HP and are available in 50-, 60-, 66- and 74-inch working widths.
10-foot snow pusher
Rounding out its line of snow tools for the 2023-2024 winter season, Ignite added a 10-foot snow pusher option. The new width, like the existing 6-, 7- and 8-foot models, is compatible with skid steer and compact track loaders and turns heavy snow into a lighter lift for the carrier. A replaceable rubber cutting edge provides a longer wear life and optimal surface protection. Reversible and replaceable skid shoes double useful life for a low total cost of ownership and extended equipment lifespan. The new 10-foot working width is compatible with 50-95 HP compact loaders and 60-100 HP compact tractors.
