Morton sees blue
Morton has colored their Ice Melter Blend crystals in a new visible blue form for precise application and distribution over ice. While the look is different, the formula is the same. The crystals can be spread in temperatures as low as -15 degrees. The active sodium chloride and calcium chloride compounds heat at the point of contact with snow.
The Boss upgrades the Power-V XT
The Boss added wear and tear protection and fuel-efficient capabilities to its Power-V XT snowplow with the Poly Power-V XT. The Poly Power-V XT’s 37-inch flared blade wings are coated with a slick poly-surface to prevent sticking snow on its 8-foot 2-inch XT and 9-foot 2-inch XT models.

Additional features include a 75-degree angled blade, vented light bar and hydraulic scrape lock.
New trip-edge V-Plow series

Convert rock salt efficiently
GVM Snow Equipment’s ABS-800 salt brine system transforms rock salt from dry to liquid form for anti-icing roads. Dry rock salt can be mixed with water to create a liquid brine concentration in the automatic brine system. The system’s pump comes manually or controlled by a float switch and will transport the liquid from the make tank to truck-mounted tanks.

The company also manufactures customizable frame-mounted winch kits for its series of mowers.
Convenient poly-caster spreader
The Fisher line of Poly-Caster spreaders distribute ice control substances such as sand, salt, sand/salt combinations and wet sand evenly with a low-maintenance unit. Models are available in 1.5-, 1.8- and 2.5-cubic-yard sizes. The rust-proof, double-wall poly-hopper has an adjustable, 151/2-inch poly-spinner, which works with flatbeds and pickups.
