Metal Pless VX Snow Blade for Skid Steers

Care & Maintenance

• Grease all cylinder pin fittings and pivot points before each snow season — cold temperature makes inadequately lubricated joints seize
• Inspect the cutting edge for wear and replace before it's worn through to the blade frame — a thinned edge transfers frost heave impacts directly to the frame and coupler
• Rinse salt off the blade after every use and before any storage period longer than a week — salt attack on bare steel is measurably faster than most operators expect
• Inspect hydraulic angle cylinder hoses before each season and replace any cracked or weathered hoses — cold-hardened hoses split at the worst moment
• Store in a dry location with the cutting edge off wet ground — standing water under a stored blade rusts the edge from below and weakens it before the next season
