How do you size a snow pusher?
A wider pusher will be more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. A 96” pusher will push longer and turn a lot easier than a 120” pusher. An 84” pusher may not clear snow quite as fast as a 120”, but it will be more effective in tight areas. A small-to-mid-sized skid steer will effectively handle an 84” or 96” pusher.
Should I get a snow pusher or shovel?
