KAGE Innovation marks the 15th anniversary of its SnowFire 2-in-1 Plow & Pusher System for compact tractors — celebrating a legacy of durability, innovation and versatility that began in 2008 for skid steers and expanded to compact tractors in 2010.
A Trailblazing Start
KAGE Innovation originally introduced the SnowFire system in 2008 as a two-in-one attachment that allowed operators to switch between an angled snow plow and a containment box pusher swiftly and efficiently.
Following its initial success on skid steers, the SnowFire system was adapted and made compatible with compact tractors (known as the TBK version of the SnowFire) beginning in 2010. This adaptability opened the design to landscapers, municipalities and contractors operating smaller equipment — something that remains a key differentiator today.
Since its inception, the SnowFire system has been engineered for longevity, built from grade 50 steel, featuring a tri-form box-frame construction and designed for extreme duty. In 2024, KAGE made using the TBK style SnowFire even easier with the release of its under-hitch universal undercarriage system for tractors that quickly and easily accommodates the direct hitch system of the TBK.
Celebrating 15 Years of Performance
As of 2025, the SnowFire system has earned its reputation as "overbuilt by design," with many units still delivering reliable performance well beyond a decade of service, according to KAGE. The 15-year milestone speaks to KAGE's commitment to heavy-duty construction, ease of maintenance and real-world durability.
"KAGE set out to build snow-removal attachments that didn't just survive, but thrived in the toughest conditions," said Brett Hart of KAGE Innovation. "Reaching 15 years for the TBK is a testament not only to our engineering team, but to the contractors and dealers who trusted the system, used it day after day, and helped refine it through real-world feedback."
Why SnowFire?
• Dual-Mode Functionality: With the SnowFire system, operators can angle plow, back-drag or push snow simply by attaching or removing the containment box — all in seconds without leaving the cab.
• Compact Tractor Compatibility: Since 2010, the SnowFire has been offered in sizes and configurations optimized for compact tractors (sub-100 hp or up to ~15,000 lb. carrier weight).
• Built for Longevity: Grade 50 steel, 32 in. tall moldboards, strong structural construction and a design lifecycle measured in decades.
• American Manufacturing: All SnowFire systems are manufactured in the United States, reinforcing KAGE's commitment to domestic production and quality control.
Partnering With Industry
Over the years, KAGE Innovation has teamed with major equipment brands, dealers and end users to expand its reach, including a co-branded collaboration with Bobcat Company in 2019 for the SnowFire system for skid-steer equipment. These collaborations underline SnowFire's status and versatility across machine platforms.
Looking Ahead
As KAGE celebrates this milestone, the company remains focused on innovation. Recent advances include the SnowFire Xtreme kit with floating skids and sectional cutting-edges, released in 2024, which extend the platform's capabilities while preserving the core two-in-one concept.
"We're grateful to our customers, dealers and partners for making the last 15 years possible," said Hart. "As we head into the next decade, our goal remains the same: deliver real solutions that save time, reduce cost and perform when winter is at its worst."
