John Deere’s 3 new Snow Utility V-Blades offer 4 angling positions

John Deere has added three new blades to its Worksite Pro attachment lineup designed for snow removal and light-dirt projects.

The BV6, BV8 and BV9 Snow Utility V-Blades mount to skid steers, compact track loaders and compact wheel loaders and feature four hydraulic angling positions:

• Straight for larger cuts
• V-configuration for pushing through hard-pack
• Scoop, which angles both sides inward, for snow stacking
• 30-degree right or left positioning for more accurate snow and dirt moving

An electrohydraulic (EV) valve allows for independent blade function while trip springs protect the machine from sudden impacts from concealed obstacles. The trip springs can be locked out for light grading and dirt work.

A rubber cutting edge is an available option to help prevent damage to decorative surfaces.
