SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT
FEATURES
UltraMount® System
It’s the simplest snowplow
attaching/detaching system available
anywhere.
1
After driving into the receiver brackets
simply grab the shoe handle and pull it
up – the spring loaded shoe will pop up.
Now pull the lock pin (in red) and rotate
the handle up. Repeat on the other side.
Plug in the two electrical connections
and that’s it!
2
A rotating PIVOT BAR allows the drive
in points to remain level – even when
the blade is on uneven terrain. You get
accurate drive in alignment always and
a blade that can pivot when plowing for
a cleaner scrape on uneven ground.
3
Two receiver brackets are easily
removed for maximum off-season
ground clearance.

complies with OEM requirements. No toggle
switch is needed to change from vehicle to

• Plug-in connector allows easy removal
CABCOMMAND Control Option
• All blade functions right in the palm

LSX & SPORT/UTILITY PLOWS
LSX Plow
The 7' 2" LSX snowplow was designed
for lighter capacity 1 ⁄ 2 ton pickup trucks
and some sport utility vehicles. Extensive
testing has shown that although the LSX
is lighter than the current Standard
model, it is just as strong.
• A boxed channel on the back of the
blade (above left) increases torsional
strength to prevent twisting
• Urethane pads on the trip stops
(above right) soften blade trip return
for quieter operation
• Disc shoes are optional
SPORT/UTILITY Plow
This personal use plow was developed
specifically for today’s down-sized
vehicles. The Sport /Utility plow is
available for some lighter vehicles
that can still carry a UniMount®
System snowplow.
• Available in 61 ⁄ 2' blade size
• Designed for non-commercial use only
LSX and SPORT/UTILITY plows are only
available with the UniMount® System.
As a young college student, working his
way through school, Brett Staeben of
Brookfield, Wisconsin needed a plow
that was sized right for his smaller vehicle
yet would be strong enough to handle his
homeowner accounts.
“The LSX is perfect for my Jeep. It’s the
right size for the driveways I do and has
really held up well.”

PRO, POLY & STANDARD PLOWS
PRO-PLOWS
Known nationwide as the choice of the
professional plower, the Pro-Plows were
designed to meet tough contractor
requirements.
• Available in 71 ⁄ 2', 8', 81 ⁄ 2' and 9'
blade widths
• Shock absorber on the back of the
blade (shown above right) softens
trip action to extend life of your
truck and plow
POLY PLOWS
Designed to provide superior snow rolling
action, the slippery blade surface created
by the use of thermal formed, high density
polyethylene also offers a maintenance
free plow blade.
• Available in 71 ⁄ 2' Standard series and
71 ⁄ 2' and 8' Pro series
• Rubber snow deflector is standard on
all Poly Plows
STANDARD PLOWS
The WESTERN® Standard snowplows give

plower dependable performance without
excess weight.
• Available in 61 ⁄ 2', 7' and 71 ⁄ 2'
blade widths
• Standard series plows fit a wide
variety of trucks
A former helicopter pilot in Vietnam,
Jim Myers, Winter Park, Colorado knows
something about reliable equipment – he’s
been using WESTERN ® plows for over 30
years. “Our town’s a busy place in winter.
For the kind of plowing I do, I wouldn’t own
anything but a Pro-Plow. The shock absorber
really prevents a lot of wear and tear.”

MVP PLOWS CONTRACTOR GRADE
The 81 ⁄ 2' and 91 ⁄ 2' MVP® plows offer the
professional contractor the ultimate in
plowing efficiency! You’ll do more jobs in
less time with this multi-position v-plow.
NEW Stronger T-Frame Design
1
Blade stops reduce cylinder load in “V”
or angled positions.
2
Two bolts per side adjust blade pitch
to reduce uneven cutting edge wear.
3
Attachment points for angle cylinders
moved inward to reduce cylinder
pressure.
3
Trip Edge Design
Each wing of the MVP incorporates a
trip edge (shown above left) so that when
the blade strikes an obstacle only the
lower edge trips back. Essential to the
efficient design of a v-plow, this feature
protects the plow and your truck –
especially in the “scoop” position.

CABCOMMAND Control
The operation of all functions – raise,
lower, and moving the wings in or out
either simultaneously or separately –
is right in the palm of your hand.
Shown above right.
Double Acting Cylinders
This feature, along with the ability
to hydraulically lock the blade wings
to act as one, allow for clean, efficient
back-dragging. Shown above lower right.
Standard Equipment Includes...
• Rubber snow deflector
• Top gap deflector and bottom gap wiper
NOW WITH
When you plow in Big Sky, Montana like
Bob Juel does, you can expect to see a lot
of snow – up to 400" a season! A plower
since 1978, Bob depends on his MVP ® plow
to get him through the winter. “The only
way to get into deep snow is with a v-plow.
I like the edge trip because it trips if I
hit something, no matter what position
the blade is in... and that protects
my equipment.”

Angled position

municipal applications, the new 8', 81 ⁄ 2',

10' Heavyweight plow with optional deflector and commercial blade guides
and Ice Control, there’s no business like snow
business. His company is devoted solely to
servicing the snow and ice control needs of
over 150 commercial accounts in southeastern
Wisconsin. Starting with a snow shovel at the
age of 16, Hanney has grown a business that
now owns over 90 pieces of equipment and,
including his sub-contractors, often has 160
units out in a snowstorm.
“We obviously made a big investment in
equipment so fleet maintenance is a top
priority. I need parts that I know will fit and
last... that takes the guesswork out of it.
Our maintenance van helps us service
the equipment in the field. It’s stocked
with WESTERN ® parts – I don’t
need more headaches from
parts that don’t work right.”
