Are you looking for a used snowplow, well we are getting to the end of the season and by now you will probably
start to hear people saying they will buy new plow next year. Maybe, you have acquired more snow work this year and you are looking for a used back up plow. The first thing I would start looking locally in the used equipment guide and on the internet sites for used equipment, check out the prices. One site that is interesting is the Snowplow News Site, Hats off to this Veteran for offering Some seriously unique equipment.
Another site ,I found that handles a large amount of used snowplow equipment is the TrucknTrailer site ,again they have a vast amount of used equipment. But the only problems with used plows is the location, providing these companies are not to far away from you, they are a great resource for used snow plow equipment. However, they may also have an alternative to get the plows delivered to you for a low cost.
But before you start looking for used equipment you really need to do a little home work on what plow will service what you need. What type of application are you using the snowplow for? Highway, small driveway, parking lots? You also want to
keep in mind the carrying capacity of your front end on your snowplow truck. The other thing I try to do is to keep all my plow the same brand. It is much easier to service and get parts. Instead of having to go to many different places to get parts
You can mainly shop at one.
Used snowplow can also be at highway and construction auctions. There you can get some good deals but the down side to that is some piece can only be check by looking at the unit instead of inspecting it by cycling the hydraulics system, and you know they usually pressure wash the equipment before the Auction so you do not know what was leaking and what wasn’t.
So the bottom line to buying a used snowplow is know what you want before you start looking for it, keep in mind it is also important to buy you equipment from reliable source. Edgeolite will be doing more reporting on used snowplow equipment
