Snow plow wings, Do they work?

Plow wing extension are different then a snowplow wing. To me the ones that are used on the highway trucks are wing plows and snow plow extensions are what I believe are used on smaller plows to add more width to the same plow. Where wing plows are a total additional plow to the truck plowing system.








But everybody has a different interpretation at that there’s business. Snow plow wing plows are made by manufacturers and here are just a few. Henderson, Wausau. etc…Snowplow wings extensions or snow plow wing are made by Boss, Meyers, Western just to name a few. They are certainly some advantages for using this plow addition when snow plowing

Snow plow wing extension I heard people say they have cut there time down by 20-30% I have also heard that they are
can be pricey . But they are some universal plow wings for around $200.00 instead of $1,000.00 Some plow operators put these wing on to too act like a scoop while other operators add a straight wing to be an extension of your plow. These extension are generally good for parking lots and not narrow driveways. The wing extension are also know to help stop snow trailing when cutting an a curve. They make a cleaner wider cut leaving you with a better finish in less time.

I have found some videos from some really skilled welding shops that have put out these product for there plow with
only costing them $40.00 in materials. That was for plow wings that they designed for there plow and these designs can vary.
But still they can be made for your plow with a little work. The main thing to keep in mind if you are going to make these
Plow extensions is they application. Basically , do you want to to make the plow more wider or do you want a plow scoop, meaning you would have to angle the extension forward.
