occurs, see a doctor familiar with
this type of injury immediately. Any
fluid injected into the skin or eyes
must be treated within
a few hours or
gangrene may
result.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
Slow moving tractors,
self-propelled equipment, and
towed implements can create a
hazard when driven on public
roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.

Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Snow Pusher has been designed with care and built
by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper
assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will
help you get years of satisfactory use from this
attachment.
Application
Land Pride’s SPL05 Series Snow Pushers are available
in popular sizes to fit your 60 and 70 BX tractor loader
equipped with or without a BX Quick Hitch. They are
designed to push snow and other loose materials straight
ahead without leaving windrows on the side or damaging
the pavement below when using the optional poly snow
blade.
The 05 Series is manufactured in 48" and 60" widths with
12 Ga. moldboard and 18" tall side panels.
The SPL05 Snow Pushers feature replaceable skid
shoes. The Snow Pushers have an optional 3/8" X 4"
steel cutting edge or optional 1/2" X 6" poly cutting edge.
The poly cutting edge helps prevent marking and other
damage to surfaces. Another optional feature of these
Snow Pushers is the pull back blade. The pull back blade
is great for pulling snow back from structures such as
garage doors. Orange markers are available as an
accessory to assist in locating the outer ends of the Snow
Pusher. The orange markers can not be used in
conjunction with the pull back option.

Transporting
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights, SMV
sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn
operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply
with all federal, state, and local laws.
Reduce ground speed when turning and leave enough
clearance to avoid making contact with obstacles such as
buildings, trees, fences, etc. Making contact can result in
equipment damage and cause serious injury or death.
1.Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another.
2. Transport with Snow Pusher low to the ground to
maintain stability of the tractor.
3. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning, and
leave enough clearance so the Snow Pusher does
not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees,
fences, etc.
4. Keep away from electrical power lines. Place an
orange warning sign under overhead power lines
indicating type of danger above.
5. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
6. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor
to a lower gear.
General Operating Instructions
Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s
Manual, completed the operating checklist, and properly
attached your Land Pride Snow Pusher to your tractor
loader, you are about ready to begin work. The Snow
Pusher is ideal for pushing snow off of driveways and
small parking lots or any other areas you want cleared of
snow. They also can be used to help clear soft materials
from areas such as feed lots, grain floors, etc.
Hopefully, you have checked out your work site for any
obstructions that you do not want to damage or to
encounter. Remove or flag any obstructions before
beginning your work.
The Snow Pusher’s primary purpose is to move snow or
other loose materials and pile it up. This function is best
done at an approximate 2 to 4 MPH ground speed.
Simply lower the Snow Pusher until it is resting on the
skid shoes and proceed forward. The blade should
immediately begin collecting snow or other loose
materials between the side panels and clearing an area
in front of you. You can transfer this material by pushing it
forward to a nearby location and then raising the Snow
Pusher to deposit your load. As the discharge pile builds,
you will want to tilt the top to the hitch back to push the
product up and onto the pile.
If using the pull back option, extend the loader hitch tilt
cylinders until the bottom edge of the pull back frame is
parallel with the paved surface. Lower the Snow Pusher
to carry the pull back blade slightly above the snow.
Slowly approach the snow close to a wall or garage door
making sure you stop before getting too close. Lower pull
back until its blade and frame are resting on the paved
surface. Making sure no one is behind you, start backing
up to pull snow away. Keep backing up until you have
pulled the snow far enough that you can now remove the
pile by pushing the pile forward with the Snow Pusher.
Achieving the desired effect will require a little
experimentation and experience for your given condition.
With a little practice, you should become a very good
operator consistently achieving the desired results you
expect with your Land Pride Snow Pusher.
See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 18 and “Features & Benefits” on page 19 for additional
information and performance enhancing options.
