KAGE Innovation announced the winners of its 2025 Wing Plow Contest, celebrating snow-removal professionals who best represent the company's core values of being brave, humble, competitive, loyal, clean, willing, truthful and perseverant.
Winners were selected via a national social media vote and received early access to KAGE's newest hydraulic wing plow models — the SnowFire Wing and the SnowStorm Wing — prior to their general release in 2026.
After a public voting period, three snow-removal operators emerged as winners — one representing each region of the United States:
Central Region Winner: Maggert Lawn Care LLC (Concordia, Mo.)
Owned and operated by Chris Maggert, Maggert Lawn Care brings more than a decade of dedicated service to residential and commercial clients in central Missouri. Known for fast, reliable snow clearing and meticulous attention to detail, the team has extensive experience using KAGE products.
As the central region winner, Maggert Lawn Care will be among the first operators in the nation to integrate the new SnowFire Wing plow into its fleet to improve efficiency and performance during busy winter operations.
Eastern Region Winner: Innovative Lawn & Landscape LLC (Torrington, Conn.)
Innovative Lawn & Landscape has built a reputation in the Northeast for high-quality snow and ice management, serving a range of property types from medical facilities to homeowner associations. James Doyle and his crew have relied on KAGE's SnowFire systems for superior scrape performance and versatility.
As winners from the eastern region, they will be the first team east of the Great Lakes to own the SnowFire Wing, bringing new capabilities to their winter services.
Western Region Winner: Premier Snow & Ice Management (Fargo, N.D.)
Premier Snow & Ice Management has been a long-time supporter of KAGE equipment since 2012 and became an authorized dealer in 2022. The company's deep familiarity with KAGE products — including the original SnowDozer Wing — positions it as an ideal western region winner.
Premier Snow & Ice will own both SnowFire and SnowStorm Wing Plows, marking the first ownership of SnowStorm Wings anywhere in the world and the first SnowFire Wings west of the 96th meridian.
