When it comes to clearing ice from your property, having the right snow removal equipment is crucial. But with so many options available on the market, it can be difficult to select the right type for the job. The professionals at Currier’s Certified Welding, a premier equipment dealer in Kalispell, MT, say BOSS® has two high-quality options to consider: the Forge 2.0 and the VBX. Below, they highlight the similarities and differences between these two varieties to help with your decision. 

Similarities

Both heavy-duty spreaders share some basic features that are vital to any ice removal job. To start, they come with a tie-down kit to ensure your spreader remains secured to the bed of the truck. Both options are also equipped with standard top screens to keep foreign matter out of the spreader and prevent lumps from forming in the de-icing materials. Finally, both the Forge 2.0 and the VBX have dump switches that allow you to eliminate any excess material from the spreader quickly and effectively.

Differences

The main differences between the snow removal equipment options have to do with hopper capacity, the motor, and extra features. While the VBX comes in 1.5-, 2-, or 3-cubic yard hopper capacity, the Forge 2.0 is only available in a 2-cubic yard option. As far as motors go, the VBX is equipped with a stainless-steel spinner variety, and the Forge 2.0 features a drive motor. Finally, a pre-wet feature is standard with the VBX model. If you desire this feature, but you opt for the Forge 2.0, you’ll have to invest in an upgrade.
