When it comes to winter snow removal, the Skid Steer/Loader is one of the most popular tools to use due to the versatility it provides for at the job site, on the farm, for your company or just simply at home.  At Prime Attachments, we offer a wide variety in our attachment lineup for your application and we can help you narrow down your best fit. Whether you are pushing, piling, sweeping or just flat out having some fun in your skid steer, we have the tools to help!

Commercial High Capacity Snow Bucket

Prime Attachment’s Snow Bucket attachment

One of the most popular ways to move bulk snow in a hurry is the High Capacity Snow Bucket. You can really maximize the power of your loader with these attachments by pushing/lifting and piling the snow where you need it to beout of the way. We build the Prime High Capacity Snow Bucket for the long haul with specific features to extend the life of the attachment for years:

  • 6” by ¾” Hardened bolt on reversible cutting edge for scraping 
  • Increased volume capacity with 36” height and 42” depth 
  • 3/16” thick steel main decking to handle the largest skid steer/loaders 
  • ½” Grade 50 runners braced on the bottom and tied to the quick attach plate for increased durability. 
  • Side plates 5/16” steel and braced with ½” corners. 
  • 6’, 7’, 8’, 9’, and 10’ widths available (9’ & 10’ get inside bracing)

Hydraulic Snow Blade

Prime Attachment’s Snow Blade attachment

Snow angle blades have been around forever and are a very popular way to move snow efficiently whether in the skid steer/loader, four-wheeler or plow truck they will certainly get the job done! The reason they have gained such popularity over the years to use in the skid steer/loader is that with the hydraulic angle feature you can get nice and tight to a building or trailers etc. and not have to get in and out of the cab constantly to change angles. The Prime Attachment Snow Blade is a plowing force in harsh conditions as it provides many enhanced features:

  • Heavy duty steel frame construction 
  • 6” by ¾” Hardened bolt on reversible cutting edge for scraping
  • 4-spring moldable trip for protecting edge against undesired objects 
  • Easy adjusted skid steer shoe depth 
  • 30 degree hydraulic angles 
  • Optional urethane or rubber cutting edge options
  • 6’, 7’, and 8’ widths available 

Commercial Lo Pro Snow Pro Bucket

Prime Attachments came out with a new look and spin on snow buckets with the design of the Commercial Lo Pro Snow Pro. This bucket is a personal favorite of mine as it allows the skid steer operator to scrape, pile, push and really maximize the strength of your skid steer or loader for the larger machine operators. That on top of the fact that the visibility is unmatched with the low-profile design when you are sitting in the nice warm cab while your neighbor is shoveling in the wind and elements!

  • 6” by ¾” Hardened bolt on reversible cutting edge for scraping 
  • Increased volume capacity with 26” height and 50” depth 
  • 3/16” thick steel main decking to handle the largest skid steer/loaders 
  • ½” Grade 50 runners braced on the bottom and tied to the quick attach plate for increased durability. 
  • Side plates 5/16” steel and braced with ½” corners. 
  • 6’, 7’ & 8’ widths available 

Power Sweeper Broom

The Prime Attachments Power Sweeper Broom was developed with one big emphasis in mind, power! One major difference in this attachment brings to the table in the snow removal category is that it can also be used during any season of the year for sweeping concrete or tar driveways on dirt and gravel. Of course, the downfall is the Prime Power Sweeper Broom is rather useless in a heavy snow fall for piling snow or clearing your driveway or job site. If you are looking to clean off sidewalks, business parking lots or driveways with a nice clean finish this broom cannot be matched for performance I can assure you. 

  • USA Domestic Muncie Motor
  • 32” stainless and poly bristles for maximum life 
  • Standard flow up to 25 gpm (can be used on any skid steer large or small)
  • Options for hydraulic or manual rotation 
  • Electrical connection available for your exact machine with remote options 
  • 5’, 6’, 7’ & 8’ widths available

Snow Pusher/Box

Prime Attachment’s Snow Pusher attachment

The Prime Attachments Snow Pusher/Box is one of the most consistent and popular Winter snow removal attachments in the arsenal. It truly is unmatched for speed when you are in a hurry to clear a bulk snow accumulation. By far one of the most heavy-duty snow pushers on the market with hardened 1” steel adjustable shoes, this is a fantastic choice for commercial snow removal contractors. If you are in the snow removal business doing large sites like a shopping mall parking lot for example, this attachment is an absolute necessity. One con of the snow pusher that stands out of course compared to a high capacity snow bucket is the ability to pile up the snow that you are trying to move. It’s really a game of speed vs. versatility here, which means you should likely just buy both!

  • Grade 50 hardened steel cutting edge 
  • Adjustable skid plates for easy use
  • Optional bolt on back drag for getting up close to building or garage doors
  • 1” Grade 50 hardened shoes for enhanced performance 
  • Heavy duty ¼” wall tubing 
  • 3/16” plow material for commercial grade use and abuse
  • 7’, 8’, 9’ & 10’ widths available
