Courtney - Great Video as always!! I can add some info on the Frontier pusher. I purchased a 60" Frontier pusher late summer of 2020, so It's the 2nd season for it. It's totally different in design than what you had in pictures. Let me start by saying I wish I would have purchased HLA. The back Drags on these Frontier bend very easily, just as you had pictured. My 60" Frontier is 16" front to back and 20" tall. The metal runners are adjustable, but a fixed choice of 3 holes provide limited options and are not a fully adjustable "Slot". That does however make the runners replaceable. The main cutting blade and back drag blades are also replaceable. My Frontier does have a formed back to the pusher with 2 bends giving it 3 surfaces at different angles. Also, the side walls on my Frontier are not double walled, but have a totally enclosed brace from the back to the side. I have plenty of pictures if you wish to see them. As you said, Frontier uses different manufacturers, and I'm sure the differences in what you have found and what I have are because of those different manufacturers.
LOL! soooo close to the car Courtney. Now there's some confidence and expertise! Excellent video and can't wait to see the outcome of the sprays. I haven't ever used one but many folks say I should. Love the HLA products - well built and well engineered. Thanks!
Courtney, that was a great comparison of the three choices of snow pushers that I would pick from. I really appreciate the time you took to present this episode. It saved me time in my research. Have a good day
Thanks Courtney. Looking forward to the results of the spray test. I have tried numerous sprays in the past few years and found that even when you get one that works (a loosely defined work), they don't last long enough to bother.
I have used Johnsons paste wax with incredible results. I use it on my tractor everywhere, wheels, hood,fenders. It works on my bucket and my snow pusher. Here in Maryland, we get a different snow each time it snows. The pusher is great with a dry powdery snow. I have to use the bucket when we get a heavy wet snow . These heavy wet snows usually starts as rain ,then freezes then snow on top. The pusher is not for the ice under the snow. In either case the Johnson paste wax (can be used on steel , wood , plastic etc. ) is the best for snow not sticking to any part of my 1025 . Give it a try it lasts so it won't break you.
HLA ALL THE WAY!! I was inspired to purchase an HLA with backdrag for my Kubota B2650 and your recommendation was corroborated by my dealer independently. I have to say that it was worth every single penny. It will stand a thousand years based on the pure quality. Thank you again, Courtney!
Courtney, I shopped all of those and bought the 60” Frontier AS10F for my 1 Series. The base price is about right at $850, but the poly skid shoes add about $300. The back drag and rubber edges add more too. Mine with all that was about $1200 new. Also, the weight you list isn’t right. It is right about 200 lbs with all those options. A base model is 140 lbs.
When I bought my 2032R last year, I purchased the Frontier snowpusher with it for the 0% financing. I paid $1250. For that, I got the snowpusher with backdrag, polymer skid shoes and rubber blade on the backdrag and the pusher. I've only used it a couple of times but have not had any problems with it. I'm not near it now but, I highly doubt that it is 30 inches tall. 20 inches sounds about right. The fact that the backdrag does not cover the entire top is a benefit in my opinion. I have not found that it leaks snow when backdragging. The snow just sticks to itself and blocks the opening. The opening does however, give an indication as to how much snow is filling the box and, it makes it easier to clean the snow off the inside before you put it away. Frozen snow on the inside does reduce the usefulness.
Hey Courtney, Another great informative video. I would like to see more comparison videos like this of land planes, box blades, wood chippers and tillers etc.
I have 3/4 pure stone in my driveway. Unless the stone and ground are frozen solid the skids I believe would just work into the stone and start pushing stone at some point. The best way I've found is using the bucket in float mode with the cutting edge tilted up an inch. I haven't had to clean up gravel out of my yard since I got the 1025r.
Great comparison of the snow pushers. Also if the landpride is an 05xx model not a 10xx that could be the difference in weight. The 05xx is primarily built for the BX tractors therefore lighter.
I have the HLA 1500 60” for my 1023e, I put 4” wide x 3/4” thick UHMW skids bolted to the existing runners. I find they don’t set into the gravel on the driveway like the existing 1.5 “ runners do.
The Frontier is 60" wide, 20" high and 18" deep. Mine also has replaceable skid runners. There is also an option for poly skid runners. There is also a replaceable back drag edge.
Hello Courtney, The HLA that you shipped out to me is working great pushing the Idaho snow deep and high! We're now doing double duty for a neighbor who plow is being repaired. If you could add this to your test group, leave the product containers outside after you spray the blade down. I am finding the aerosol cans are clogging up and won't spray on those 25 degree days. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Another informative video; thank you!! I have a 60" Frontier frame mounted plow on my 1025R, it works really well especially if you are "space" challenged. However it is not quick attach, it is a bit of a chore to switch back to the loader/bucket if you want to do some removal or relocation of snow. I wish I had gone with one of the loader mounted options that Courtney is talking about!! The back drag option woud be well worth the investment.
Good honest review, very precise as usual. I would love to have the 54 in HLA with all the options. Back drag, and poly cutting edges and poly skids. Not JD, just quick attach.
Meyer's Sno Flo paint always worked good on plow blades to keep snow from sticking but I think it only comes in yellow. Not cheap but it works and will last all season.
Courtney, sounds like you are going to get your chance to move some snow tomorrow morning. Thanks for the comparison. I have several Land Pride pieces and I will say that the rotary cutter appears to be built lighter than I expected but the back blade is very solidly built. The variation could be between attachment as well as between manufacturers.
Courtney, great video. I'm looking forward to the outcome of the sprays, as I want to use it on my snowblower and also on my zero turn mower. The HLA looks like a very well built unit.
So I would love the hla witch is built like a beast and has the nicest pull back option, but the price drove me to the frontier, which I also found used, for $700 about 30 min away on marketplace. I did go to deere for the pull back kit for touch over $150. And yes the pull back is fairly easy to bow. Again for the tots investment, I’ll modify as needed to stiffen it up later on if needed. So all in all I’m in it for under $900 and it’s been effective. Now moving it around it weights virtually nothing for its size. It’s a comfortable two person lift, so I can’t at all believe it weighs 400lbs. Maybe 200lbs…. Honestly it’s light. The skids are bolt on, as well as the pull back and main cutting edges are both reversible.
Ariens also markets a spray. Tried it last year and it did well in keeping the slush from clogging both my Ariens 1028 walk behind as well as the Pronovost INV-80 tractor mounted. Heavy wet slush is always the hardest to move. I've at times seen the "blowers" look more like sausage packers with a long tube of ice coming out of the chute. It's when it can't even push that that things clog and when the Provonost clogs, it's a solid mass to break up. Last year, we had 2 days that I was basically slinging slush and didn't have any clogging issues. Could have been just the wrong consistency, but it's pretty rare to not see the Ariens clog at least once in those kind of conditions. Hopefully we'll only get good snow this season and I'll never know if the spray works or not. (^_^)
Hopefully you'll get enough snow tomorrow reference using different lubs vs car wax. Could never find out who actually makes the Frontier attachments, but I'll brag all day about the AV20F.
I just ordered the 48" Land Pride snow pusher for my Kubota BX and I believe it does have the rods to support the side walls. You mentioned that it did not. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised when it arrives in August that it was built without, because like you state, that is an inferior design. Fingers crossed!
Great compare video on the snow pushers Courtney, If I had to buy one I would definitely buy HLA 🇨🇦😉👍🏻. You probably spotted the minor typo on the compare sheet, you have HONTARIO 😳😂 instead of ONTARIO 👍🏻😉.
Hey Courtney - Great comparison video. Happy with my HLA 1500. Its pretty much my starting attachment for the winter before I flip to the blower when i run out of push room. Haven't had much of an opportunity to use it here in New England yet this winter. Not complaining...Always happy to have a break from the heavy wet snows we tend to get here. All of that said, I am thinking about adding the HMWPE edge to the backdrag. How much would that be for the 1500? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for another great video. I appreciate being honest regarding the data you found. I have a 48" Landpride which I have added UHMW skids and cutting edge. So far, I am very happy with the Landpride - was able to find it used for $400. Curious as to what thickness of cutting edges you installed on your HLA? Also, love seeing the Minn Kota and Humminbird electronics in the garage....appreciate seeing another fellow fisherman.
I think you should develop a heated pusher.! If you heat the blade from the inside with propane you can probably completely stopped the buildup of the snow when you don't have to worry about it. Just have to engineer properly but that seems like the best solution that I have thought about. And I know there's going to be people to talk about the heat in the fire with the hydraulic system and everything else but that's why you keep everything separated safely. Attachments can go out quite far when you're talkin about snow pushing
You'd have to do some calculations for how many BTUs you'd need, but I suspect you'd be burning a lot of propane. The back of the pusher is a lot of surface area, so it'll cool really quickly. You'd also need a good bit of space to get a burner behind it and a place to mount the propane tank. The liability insurance on a product that like that would be through the roof.
I didn't want to comment twice but watching the video again I can't help but wonder why the manufacturer doesn't add a spring system like you would see you on a plow in front of a truck. That way when it hits large immovable objects the entire thing can flex and go over instead of just jamming and pushing into the object.
It would probably add about a foot to the length. Truck snow plows usually plow faster than you would on a tractor. So given the cost, added complexity, weight, length, and another point to fail, it's just not worth the cost.
I have to question the idea of calling them OEM. My parents and Grandparents had tractors and implements that were all made in International Harvester factories, in the late 60's that changed. Quite simply, i wouldn't count either Frontier nor Land pride to be OEM but a wholly owned subsidiary that is "preferred " by the tractor manufacturer but to me they are all aftermarket now. As evidenced by the fact most (not all) offer if you're willing to special order and wait, will sell them in a color to match your tractor.
I had to do a reality check. Something about JD being the cheapest just didn't seem right, as if the planets and stars got out of alignment. Hold on let me check. Yup, the sun is still raising in the East as scheduled. So I guess its real. 🤣🤣

I used Turtle Wax ceramic spray on my whole tractor when I bought it and a few coats on the bucket. Nothing sticks.
Thanks! I’m weighing the costs on whether or not I need one of these here in Central MO. It is nice to see the difference between the brands.
Great comparison of the snow pushers. Also if the landpride is an 05xx model not a 10xx that could be the difference in weight. The 05xx is primarily built for the BX tractors therefore lighter.
Grades of steel used in construction are important. A higher grade steel, though thinner, may be the preferred combination.
I have the HLA 1500 60” for my 1023e, I put 4” wide x 3/4” thick UHMW skids bolted to the existing runners. I find they don’t set into the gravel on the driveway like the existing 1.5 “ runners do.

Good video and I liked your comparisons on these 3 pushers. Hard to believe the frontier was the cheapest. Thanks for doing this comparison.
Great review. It shows that one should look at a few options to see which one fits your needs best, and get you the quality you need.
Courtney, sounds like you are going to get your chance to move some snow tomorrow morning. Thanks for the comparison. I have several Land Pride pieces and I will say that the rotary cutter appears to be built lighter than I expected but the back blade is very solidly built.

Hey cuz. How did I miss this video notification? SMH. Still subscribed. Ding
Courtney, great video. I'm looking forward to the outcome of the sprays, as I want to use it on my snowblower and also on my zero turn mower. The HLA looks like a very well built unit.
I bet a good ceramic paint protection coating or even a ceramic quick detail spray would work extremely well.

I use WD-40 on my snowblower and the JD 1025 bucket. It seems to work well. I haven't run into many problems unless it is slushy
nice comparison and sounded fair . But not needed here in sunny Texas this year.
Great video I guess out here in Idaho I'm getting more snow then you guys are this year ..
Thanks for the info this was super helpful

The HLA is commercial quality, where the others are residential grade..
Better get to spraying. We just got hammered with snow in Wisconsin lol

One reason there is little price difference between the HLA and the Landpride, may be the Canadian dollar.
I think you should develop a heated pusher.! If you heat the blade from the inside with propane you can probably completely stopped the buildup of the snow when you don't have to worry about it. Just have to engineer properly but that seems like the best solution that I have thought about. And I know there's going to be people to talk about the heat in the fire with the hydraulic system and everything else but that's why you keep everything separated safely.

You'd also need a good bit of space to get a burner behind it and a place to mount the propane tank. The liability insurance on a product that like that would be through the roof.

That way when it hits large immovable objects the entire thing can flex and go over instead of just jamming and pushing into the object.
It would probably add about a foot to the length. Truck snow plows usually plow faster than you would on a tractor. So given the cost, added complexity, weight, length, and another point to fail, it's just not worth the cost.
Good comparison, features are not always available.
2nd- love the videos man
are they made in the USA
I have to question the idea of calling them OEM. My parents and Grandparents had tractors and implements that were all made in International Harvester factories, in the late 60's that changed. Quite simply, i wouldn't count either Frontier nor Land pride to be OEM but a wholly owned subsidiary that is "preferred " by the tractor manufacturer but to me they are all aftermarket now. As evidenced by the fact most (not all) offer if you're willing to special order and wait, will sell them in a color to match your tractor.
