Virnig 8 Foot Skid Steer Snow Pusher

Overview

The 8-foot-foot snow pusher clears large paved areas — parking lots, loading docks, industrial yards — in fewer passes than a bucket or blade. Virnig Manufacturing (Minnesota) is well regarded in Canada for heavy-duty skid steer attachments, available through Canadian equipment dealers. The sectional containment design keeps snow moving in front of the blade without spillover. Compatible with most mid-frame and large-frame skid steers via SSQA. Available from Virnig Manufacturing (ships to Canada).

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You push snow on flat commercial lots, parking decks, or loading docks with a defined push perimeter
  • You don't have room or budget for a blower — pushers cost far less and maintain well

Skip if

  • Your site has no windrow drop zone — pushers pile snow that has to go somewhere
  • Wet, heavy Ontario snow is your primary challenge — heavy packs reduce machine traction with a full pusher

Also consider

  • Sectional pusher if your site has frost heaves or uneven pavement you need the wings to follow
  • Snow blower attachment if bank height from repeated pushes is becoming a problem
Machine Compatibility

Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach — no auxiliary hydraulics required.

Care & Maintenance

  • Inspect the trip-edge blade for wear before each season and replace when worn below the wear indicator line — a worn-through trip-edge transfers full impact to the blade frame
  • Grease all trip-edge pivot and hinge points after every major pushing session, especially after work in extreme cold where grease migrates out of joints faster
  • Check side board welds for cracking after frost heave strikes — box sides bear significant impact forces during high-speed frost heave hits
  • Rinse salt off after every use and before extended storage — road salt accelerates rust on unpainted steel edges and frame members faster than people expect
  • Store off the ground on blocks or a pallet to prevent the cutting edge from sitting in standing water and rusting from below

How to Connect

  1. Back machine into push frame receiver
  2. Lower boom to slide trip edges into receiver arms
  3. Engage mounting pins or latch
  4. Raise slightly off ground and test trip edge reset manually if accessible
Safety NoteSnow pushers are passive (no hydraulics) on most models — mounting is mechanical only
