Snow Plows for Winter Maintenance on Farms, Business Premises, and Private Property
A snow plow makes it easier to reliably clear snow from driveways, courtyards, access roads, or parking lots. However, requirements vary significantly depending on the application. While a tractor with a wide snow plow blade excels on large areas, compact track dumpers or electric dumpers are often the more flexible solution on narrow paths or in winding areas. Jansen offers custom-fit snow plow blades for various machines that are specifically tailored to the respective vehicles and allow for easy installation.
Thanks to these precisely tailored attachment solutions, your existing machine can be used economically even beyond traditional transport tasks. This quickly transforms a tracked dumper or tractor into a versatile vehicle for winter service.
Which snow plow is right for your application?
Choosing the right snow plow depends primarily on the machine being used and the areas to be cleared.
Tracked dumpers excel in winter, especially where space is limited or ground conditions are difficult. Thanks to their tracked undercarriage, they offer excellent traction even on snow or slightly icy surfaces. Jansen snow plows are available for various tracked dumpers in the RD series and enable efficient snow removal on sidewalks, driveways, courtyards, or business premises.
Available models include those for:
The Jansen MSK-800X electric dumper can also be equipped with a compatible snow plow. The electric drive offers particular advantages in municipal settings, on company grounds, or in residential complexes, as it operates virtually silently. At the same time, the machine remains extremely maneuverable and is ideally suited for narrow paths or courtyards.
For larger areas, the Jansen SP-220 is a robust snow plow for tractors. The combination of a Euro hitch and a Category 1 three-point hitch allows for versatile use with various tractors and farm loaders. Thanks to its large clearing width, even large farmyards, parking lots, or driveways can be cleared efficiently.
What should you look for when buying a snow plow?
To ensure a snow plow works optimally, there are a few points to consider before making a purchase.
- The right attachment for your existing machine
- Sufficient clearing width for the areas to be cleared
- Intended use, such as a farmyard, parking lot, driveway, or business premises
- Weight and power of the carrier machine
- Easy installation and removal
- Long-term availability of replacement parts
Compatibility is crucial, especially when it comes to attachments. Jansen designs snow plows specifically for each machine model, ensuring safe installation and reliable power transmission.
Typical Applications for a Snow Plow
Snow plows are used wherever snow needs to be removed regularly and quickly. Depending on the machine, areas of varying sizes can be cleared cost-effectively.
- Private properties
- Driveways
- Agricultural operations
- Forestry operations
- Parking lots
- Operational yards
- Storage areas
- Municipal roads
- Access roads
Track dump trucks, in particular, offer advantages on unpaved roads or gently sloping terrain, as the track undercarriage reduces ground pressure and ensures good traction even in winter conditions.
Snow plow or snow blower – when is which machine the better choice?
A snow plow is particularly well-suited for freshly fallen snow or snow that has already been cleared multiple times. The snow is pushed to the side, quickly making paths and driving surfaces passable again.
In contrast, when dealing with very deep snow or heavily compacted snow, a snow blower may be the better choice, as it picks up and discharges the snow. For many users, however, a snow plow is the more economical solution when regularly clearing courtyards or driveways.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure that the snow plow operates reliably over many winter seasons, it is recommended to regularly inspect all bolted connections and moving parts. After each use, remove any adhering snow, road salt, and dirt. This reduces corrosion and extends the service life.
Before the start of the winter season, it’s also a good idea to visually inspect all mounting points and wear parts. This helps prevent downtime during winter service.

Frequently asked questions about snow plows
For which machines are Jansen snow plows suitable?
Depending on the model, snow plows are available for select RD-series tracked dumpers, the MSK-800X electric dumper, and for tractors with Euro-mount and Category 1 three-point hitches.
Can a tracked dumper be used effectively in winter?
Yes. Thanks to their tracked undercarriage, tracked dumpers offer good traction even on snow-covered or slightly icy surfaces and are particularly well-suited for narrow or unpaved areas.
A tractor can clear larger areas in a short amount of time. Thanks to its wide working width, this solution is particularly well-suited for vehicle depots, parking lots, and agricultural fields.
When is a snow plow a better choice than a snow blower?
For paths that are cleared regularly and normal amounts of snow, a snow plow works particularly quickly and cost-effectively. For very deep or heavily compacted snow, a snow blower may offer advantages.
Are spare parts available for snow plows?
Jansen prioritizes long-term spare parts availability to ensure that maintenance and repairs remain possible even after many years of use.
How do you properly maintain a snow plow?
After each use, snow, road salt, and dirt should be removed. In addition, it is recommended to regularly inspect all fasteners and moving parts before the start of the winter season.
