Maximizing Plow Longevity with Proper Pressure
One of the key elements in maximizing the lifespan of a snow plow, particularly the carbide cutting edges, is maintaining the correct pressure during operation. Metal Pless understands this crucial aspect and has integrated the Slip Hitch Indicator into their PlowMaxx and Max Pro plows to ensure users can achieve the ideal pressure for optimal performance and longevity.
How the Slip Hitch Indicator Works
The Slip Hitch Indicator simplifies the process of setting the plow at the proper pressure. When the plow is lowered, aligning the two markers on the Slip Hitch Indicator indicates that the plow is centered and set at the correct pressure. With 6 inches of travel and clear red marking indicators visible from the cab, operators can easily adjust and monitor the pressure, ensuring the plow operates with precision and efficiency.
Benefits of Using the Slip Hitch Indicator
-
Maximized Wear Component Life: The Slip Hitch Indicator helps maximize the life of wear components such as carbide cutting edges. This translates to cost savings and reduced downtime for maintenance and replacement.
-
Optimized Plow Performance: The Slip Hitch Indicator ensures that you are not exerting excessive pressure on the ground or using more of the cutting edge than necessary. This optimization leads to efficient snow clearing and a smoother operation overall.
-
Ease of Use and Monitoring: The red marking indicators on the Slip Hitch Indicator are designed for visibility from the cab, allowing operators to easily monitor and adjust the pressure as needed. It serves as a “cheat code” for running the plow perfectly, enhancing user experience and productivity.
With the Slip Hitch Indicator, Metal Pless continues to lead the way in innovation, ensuring that operators can achieve optimal results while extending the lifespan of their equipment.
