THE BOSS 6' straight-blade poly
snowplow. |
IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich.
(August 17, 2007) — THE BOSS Snowplow,
a company known for pushing the edge of
innovation on products for snowplow removal,
today announced a collaboration with Polaris
Industries Inc., a pioneer in the booming side
by side market, on the launch of a new 6’
Straight-Blade Poly Snowplow and SmartHitch 2®
attachment system for Polaris’ 2005-2008 RANGER
side by side vehicles.
Available at Polaris
dealerships starting in September, THE BOSS
Snowplow for Polaris is designed to easily
tackle projects for the home or job site giving
side by side owners the flexibility to reach
areas where traditional plows cannot go due to
space limitations or rugged terrain. In addition
to developing its first snowplow for the side by
side market, THE BOSS adapted its proven
SmartHitch 2 Attachment System for the Polaris
RANGER to give homeowners and professionals the
time-saving benefits of a fast and efficient
attachment system with the ability to maneuver
with ease.
“Our new product for Polaris
and the side by side market is a natural next
step for THE BOSS, and the opportunity to work
with the company that has set the standard for
quality and performance in the side by side
market is an added bonus,” said Rick Robitaille,
marketing manager for THE BOSS Snowplow.
“THE BOSS has a proven track record designing
high-performance snowplow equipment for
downsized vehicles, so we’re thrilled to be
taking this to the next level with a custom
design for the RANGER. The power and versatility
of the Polaris RANGER and the easy hookup of THE
BOSS snowplow using SmartHitch 2 technology will
make quick work of any plowing job.”
“THE BOSS plow will complement
our side by side accessory offering,” said Chris
Witte, product line developer for PURE Polaris.
“Polaris RANGERs are known as the ‘hardest
working, smoothest riding’ side by side vehicles
and the addition of THE BOSS plow to our
accessory line up ensures our RANGERs work even
harder.”
Standard features of
THE BOSS 6’ Straight-Blade Poly Plow include:
· SmartHitch® 2
Attachment System
· High Performance Hydraulic Package
· SmartTouch 2 Hand Held Control
· Poly Blade
· Sloped Profile Undercarriage
Attaching or detaching the
plow can be done with little to no physical
effort with THE BOSS’ SmartHitch 2 Attachment
System. A simple and quick attachment
means users spend more time plowing and less
time getting ready to plow.
Part of THE BOSS Snowplow
package, the SmartTouch 2 Handheld Control is
the easiest-to-use handheld control in the
snowplow industry. The handheld control is
designed for right or left hand use and requires
less button pushing than competing products,
features an express up-and-down capability, and
also has a built-in sleep mode. The handle of
the control can be removed providing several
different mounting options.
