4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The front mount V-plow by Iron Baltic can be attached to ATV or UTV and has justified itself as a robust
product that is intended for snow clearance or ground planning.
The front mount V-Plow system can be equipped with 1500 mm V-plow, which can be extended with side
extensions by 2 x 100 mm.
The model-specific installation kit is needed for installing to the vehicle.
The operating angle, working height of the plow and blade’s angle towards the ground can be adjusted
different working positions. Use of springs ensures free movement of the plow over fixed obstacles
without damaging the plow or the vehicle.
The operating and transport position of the V- plow can be quickly changed with the vehicle’s winch and
so movement between different work areas is fast and convenient.
