Back blade wearstrip for efficient backward operation of snow plows and method for facilitating the same

摘要

An improved snow plow for use with light and medium duty trucks is disclosed which has a back blade wearstrip that is made of a wearable, man-made material which is mounted to the rear side of the snow plow blade at the bottom thereof to provide optimal plowing action in a backward direction, and which wearstrip is easily replaceable. The back blade wearstrip is mounted on a bottom plow frame member such that the back blade wearstrip extends downwardly and rearwardly from the bottom plow frame member at an angle to work well when the plow is dragged backward. The back blade wearstrip may be made of a polymeric material, and its design and mounting ensures that it may be replaced quickly and easily.
