Model 60 Snow Remover

The Kershaw 60 Snow Fighter/Ballast Regulator is equipped with a one-pass transfer plow, 36” wide reversible wings, and a broom attachment for ballast maintenance. The ballast components are easily removed and replaced with snow components, converting the machine into a high-powered snow fighter. Snow attachments include a 10 ft. V-type snowplow, four season plow, benching-type snow wings, and a broom/snow switch cleaner attachment for snow removal from the track, inter-track, and track shoulder areas. With the addition of the optional Snow Switch Cleaner, snow can be removed from switches and propelled clear of the track. 

This snow fighting machine is built for working in the harshest environments and is available with a wide variety of options for working in the most extreme environments.
