The genuine Western 56544 FloStat Hydraulic Unit is the self-contained power pack engineered to run your plow’s lifting and angling operations. This intelligent unit features integrated scrape lock circuitry, which prevents the snow plow from “floating up” during heavy snow accumulation. Consequently, this ensures consistent blade-to-ground contact for superior scraping action throughout your entire route.
This unit is designed for direct compatibility with Western UltraMount straight blade plows, specifically fitting standard Pro-Plow, Mid-Weight, and Pro-Plus models. It houses a robust 12V DC motor, pump, and all required precision valves—including relief, bypass check, poppet check, and solenoid cartridge valves—within a single, protected housing.
Important Compatibility Notes:
-
This unit is not compatible with HTS or FleetFlex systems.
-
Do not use this pump if your plow features a plastic cover over the top or has an isolation module attached directly to the pump, as those are FleetFlex configurations.
-
Always flush your cylinders and hoses thoroughly before installing a new unit and utilize genuine Western/Fisher hydraulic fluid to maintain your warranty.
