“Is a snow pusher skid steer attachment my best choice?”
A snow pusher attachment for a skid steer is a plow-like attachment designed to push snow forward without creating side windrows. They do this with folded side structures that keep the snow from falling away to either side. Snow captured in snow pushers is typically directed to a larger pile or snow drifts.

Where snow pushers shine is in the simple design—operating much like a big inverted dust-pan that pushes the snow wherever the operator wishes. The no-frills nature of this design also allows operators to clear pavement relatively fast—sometimes as fast as the skid steer can travel.

Snow pushers may be simple in design but they are functional in operation. They not only push snow but can also be used for back drag—or pulling snow away from structures as needed on the backend of the blade.

While effective, snow pusher attachments may not be as efficient as many other snow-removal tools. The distance an operator can push a single load of snow can be easily maxed out and lead to spillage—resulting in the need to break up larger loads into multiple trips. That’s enough backup beeps to wake up the neighbors.

Also, because snow pushers aren’t actively chewing up the snow they encounter and the snow isn’t being immediately fed elsewhere, this means the skid steer must have major traction to push deeper snow. For this reason and the lack of a blade angle, they may not be the most efficient.

All of that being said, a snow pusher may be a great option for clearing snow from areas lacking space for a windrow or snow drift (such as alleyways, narrow city streets, etc.), and where straight push travel is an option.
What are the Size Considerations for Snow Pusher Attachments?
Though a wide pusher seems like the answer to the overloading problem, it will be more difficult to manage as they’re not particularly nimble and it will require greater skid steer traction. Depending on the surfaces you need to clear, you can choose between an 84”, 96”, and 120” wide pusher. Narrower pushers will be more nimble but with decreased load capacity. Wider snow pusher attachments will clear more snow, yet require greater traction while offering less maneuverability.

But hey, did you know that pusher attachments aren’t just for snow! Some pusher attachment models can also be used to push water, mud, sludge, trash, and yes—even manure. Just make sure you check the specifications before you damage stuff. Remember kids: spec yo’self ‘fo you wreck yo’self.
So, how much does a snow pusher cost?
Snow pusher attachments for sale can range from $4,000-ish for adjustable new models to around $1,200 for suitably used models.
