Overview
Virnig's V60 VBW72 is a 72-inch skid steer snow blower ideal for clearing wide sidewalks, driveways, and tight access roads where a pusher cannot stack snow adequately. The paddle-style auger efficiently handles wet and packed snow that challenges spiral designs, and the chute throws snow up to 40 feet with directional control. High-flow motor option available. Used extensively by Canadian municipalities and commercial contractors. Ships to Canada through Virnig's authorized dealer network.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You push snow on flat commercial lots, parking decks, or loading docks with a defined push perimeter
- You don't have room or budget for a blower — pushers cost far less and maintain well
⛔ Skip if…
- Your site has no windrow drop zone — pushers pile snow that has to go somewhere
- Wet, heavy Ontario snow is your primary challenge — heavy packs reduce machine traction with a full pusher
🔍 Also consider…
- Sectional pusher if your site has frost heaves or uneven pavement you need the wings to follow
- Snow blower attachment if bank height from repeated pushes is becoming a problem
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands via universal SSQA quick attach. No auxiliary hydraulics required — operates off the loader arms.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect the trip-edge blade for wear before each season and replace when worn below the wear indicator line — a worn-through trip-edge transfers full impact to the blade frame
- Grease all trip-edge pivot and hinge points after every major pushing session, especially after work in extreme cold where grease migrates out of joints faster
- Check side board welds for cracking after frost heave strikes — box sides bear significant impact forces during high-speed frost heave hits
- Rinse salt off after every use and before extended storage — road salt accelerates rust on unpainted steel edges and frame members faster than people expect
- Store off the ground on blocks or a pallet to prevent the cutting edge from sitting in standing water and rusting from below
How to Connect
- Back machine into push frame receiver
- Lower boom to slide trip edges into receiver arms
- Engage mounting pins or latch
- Raise slightly off ground and test trip edge reset manually if accessible
⚠ Safety NoteSnow pushers are passive (no hydraulics) on most models — mounting is mechanical only
❄️ Before You Buy a Snow Pusher
Snow pusher sizing is machine-dependent — an oversized box overloads your loader arms; undersizing means extra passes on large lots.

- Buy before November — Canadian dealers sell out of popular sizes by mid-winter
