Read articles →An owner-operator's first real-world trial of a Top Dog 5-foot pusher box on an RK24 subcompact tractor, plowing actual driveways after a modest snowfall. He draws on prior skid-loader pusher experience to explain momentum, down-pressure effects on front-tire traction, and shoe leveling for gravel. Short on specs but honest about limitations. Best for RK24 owners weighing whether a pusher box makes sense on a small subcompact.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own property and neighboring driveways, with no apparent commercial or dealership affiliation evident in the transcript.
Yes, the owner says the RK24 worked better than expected pushing a five-foot Top Dog pusher box, even though it is not a real heavy tractor.
Too much down pressure on the pusher box lifts weight off the front tires, making the steering wheel not want to turn.
Set the cutting edge just slightly higher than the shoes on the sides, and keep the shoe level front to back so it does not wear out faster.
