Western Plows Part # 44282-3 NLA – USE 44282-5

Back Drag Edge Kit 8.5 NLA – USE Western Part Number 44282-5 BACK DRAG EDGE KIT 8.5

Western Part # 44282-3 is a Back Drag Edge Kit designed for 8.5-foot Western V-Plow models, specifically compatible with the MVP Plus, MVP 3, XtremeV, and XV2 series.

This kit provides a specialized steel cutting edge that bolts onto the rear side of the plow’s main cutting edge. Its primary purpose is to significantly enhance the plow’s performance when back-dragging snow. Back-dragging is the technique of pulling the plow backward (typically away from garage doors, loading docks, or other tight spaces) to remove snow. The design of this back drag edge allows for a much cleaner scrape when operating in reverse, effectively pulling snow away without leaving behind stubborn layers or tire tracks.

The kit includes the durable, high-carbon steel back drag edge itself, precisely cut and drilled for 8.5-foot V-plow blades. It also includes all the necessary mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) for secure attachment.

Installing Western Part # 44282-3 provides a distinct advantage in specific plowing scenarios, allowing for more efficient and complete snow removal in confined areas. It complements the forward plowing capabilities of the V-plow. It is important to note that this back drag edge is generally not compatible with certain curb guard or shoe kits, and a new or like-new front cutting edge is recommended for optimal wear and performance with the back drag edge.

Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and vehicle-specific installation instructions to confirm compatibility and proper installation procedures.
