STARK RELAX Butterfly Plows
Best-in-class snow-throwing properties
STARK RELAX butterfly plows are ideal for cleaning urban areas, pedestrian routes and road networks, where there is a risk of hitting hidden obstacles under the snow and good snow-throwing properties are required on both sides of the plow.
The plow can be used on tractors, wheel loaders and property maintenance machines.
The hydraulic Snow Stopper, available as an accessory, enables effortless plowing of intersections and junctions.
Robust construction and practical features:
- Even work result: Thanks to the vertical and horizontal floating of the FLOATING FRAME technology, the work result remains of high quality even at high speeds.
- Stable working feel: The butterfly plow is reliable to use due to its strong structure, good flotation and optimized weight.
- Safety: The RELAX blade system guarantees an even plowing result and reduces the amount of packed snow. The blade release mechanism protects the driver, the base machine and the attachment from damage.
- Effortless: The STARK FIT attachment mounting system enables quick attachment changes.

Technologies
STARK FIT
The STARK FIT is a tool attachment system that enables quick attachment between different basic machines.
Thanks to carefully designed sizing, the STARK FIT allows the use of more than 50 different adapters on the same implement. This increases the versatility and resale value of the implement.
Due to its rugged dimensions (16 pcs x M 24), it is also suitable for installing the largest implement mounts.
RELAX – UNIQUE PATENTED BLADE SYSTEM
The RELAX blade system keeps the plow blades locked. The plow´s trace is smooth and the formation of the packed snow is considerably less.
When the blade strikes an obstacle, the blade system lock is released, the blade body turns backwards and the blade passes over the obstacle. This protects the driver, implement and base machine from collision damage.
The plow with the RELAX blade system can be pressed against the plowed surface, which allows removal of the packed snow.
How the RELAX blade system works:
- The blade body is mechanically locked by three joints (Figure 1.).
- As the load increases, the lock is released and the blade body makes a rapid and extensive evasive movement (Figure 2.).
- When the load is released, the spring returns the blade body back to the lock (Figure 1.).
- The blade release force can be infinitely adjusted by changing the angle of the joints (Figure 3.).
The greater the angle between the joints (Figure 1.), the lighter the lock will open. WHEN TIGHTENING THE NUT the release force DECREASES, WHEN LOOSENING THE NUT the release force INCREASES (Figure 3.).
FLOATING FRAME
FLOATING FRAME -technology gives you a very good working result.
The float closely follows the ground, the sliding plates and the positioning of the float reduce the bouncing of the unit during work. The implement can float vertically and horizontally (Figure 1.) without the implement being controlled by the base machine.
The float is positioned at the implement mount, which also allows the payload of the swivel frame and a good focus on the implement (Figure 2.). The sliding plates are maintenance-free (no lubrication required) and dampen plow bounce (Figure 3.).
