Choosing the right size snow pusher depends a lot on the machine you’re mounting it on and the space you’re clearing. Here are some good rules of thumb + product examples to help you pick:
âś… Key Considerations
- Machine capacity: How much power, traction and weight your loader/skid steer/tractor has. A pusher that’s too wide or heavy can overload the machine. (Compact Equipment Magazine)
- Clearance area & width: If you’ve got narrow driveways or obstacles, a narrower pusher may make more sense for manoeuvrability. (Virnig Manufacturing)
- Snow conditions: Heavy, wet or deep snow requires more machine effort than light, fluffy snow — so sizing and machine power matter more in tougher conditions. (MyLittleSalesman.com)
- Weight of the implement: It’s not just the width — the actual weight of the pusher matters for your machine’s lift/traction capacity. (greentractortalk.com)
📏 Size Guidelines
Here are some rough width-guidelines for snow pushers (especially for smaller tractors/loaders) — you’ll want to adapt for your exact machine and terrain:
- For smaller tractors (~22 hp or less): ~48″ (4 feet) width or less recommended. (greentractortalk.com)
- For mid-size (~23-29 hp): ~54″-60″ width. (greentractortalk.com)
- For larger machines (30-35 hp and up): ~72″ (6 ft) width or more. (greentractortalk.com)
- For industrial machines (skid steers/loaders): widths of 84″, 96″, 120″ (7-10 ft+) depending on machine size and job. (Virnig Manufacturing)

- The Snowplow “Original” Snow Pusher 48″: Medium width, good balance for mid-sized machines.
- The Snowplow “Original” Snow Pusher 36″: Narrow width, better for smaller machines or tighter spaces.
- GoPlus Aluminum Snow Pusher 37.5″ Wide: For smaller driveways, residential use.
- Suncast SP2750 Snow Shovel/Pusher: More of a manual push tool for walkways etc.
- Union Tools 30″ Poly Snow Shovel: Shovel rather than machine-mounted pusher; great for light duty.
🔍 Decision Steps for You
- Measure your machine: Get specs for lift capacity, width, horsepower, traction.
- Measure your area: Driveway width, obstacles, how much snow you usually get.
- Choose a width that your machine can handle AND that will fit your space: If you pick too wide, you may lose manoeuvrability; too narrow and you’ll take too long clearing.
- Check implement weight: Ensure the pusher isn’t too heavy for your machine’s front end or lift capacity.
- Consider snow type & usage frequency: If you get heavy wet snow or are doing large areas often, lean toward larger width (if machine allows). For light snow/occasional use, smaller is fine.
If you like, I can look up recommended snow pusher sizes specifically for your machine model (you tell me model & hp) and find best-fitting models for Singapore (or your region) with local availability. Would you like me to do that?
