Hilltip’s new SnowStriker SFT Flex expandable box plow combines the containment capability of box plow with hydraulically extendable sections that allow operators to adapt the clearing width to changing conditions on the go. The plow is compatible with 1- to 4-ton tractors, loaders and skid steers.
Three sizes are available, each with an adjustable clearing width:
13-21 SFT: 4 feet, 3 inches to 6 feet, 11 inches
15-25 SFT: 4 feet, 11 inches to 8 feet, 2 inches
18-29 SFT: 5 feet, 11 inches to 9 feet, 6 inches
This flexibility allows operators to narrow the plow for tighter spaces or expand it for more productive clearing of larger driveways, yards and open parking areas, the company says.
The blade tilts and oscillates as it moves over uneven ground, helping maintain contact with the surface for a cleaner scrape, according to Hilltip. The hydraulically actuated side plates of the SFT Flex can be independently folded, allowing it to act as a conventional straight-blade plow. Relief valves allow the side plates to trip if an obstacle is hit to help prevent damage to the attachment and carrier machine.
Steel, ice-cutting and polyurethane cutting-edge options are available. Other options include LED edge markers, custom mountings, a 12V/24V electric valve, a plow shoe kit, a four-line hydraulic system and high-visibility orange paint.
Powered byThe SFT Flex is built with high-strength, powder-coated steel for high durability, while remaining lighter weight, the company says. Models range from 816 pounds to 1,190 pounds.
The SFT Flex is backed by a two-year warranty.
