You made this ten times harder than it needed to be.

[@nickscustoms269]

In the first half when you were doing the big square you could push it all to the left toward the side where all the snow ended up. Angle the blade the toward the direction of the pile and every 2-3 passes make a scoop pass to get rid of the windrow. This way when you have the long pile you push it straight into the grass rather that push it an extra time. Just my 2 cents

[@dakotalawnandlandscape]

Appreciate it man! Always looking for ways to increase efficiency. We found scooping then windrowing was faster than just windrowing but we will have to try windrowing and then taking a scoop every so often like you said! Could be faster!

@@dakotalawnandlandscape all the new vxt plows do it depending if it’s heavy snow some snows in Wisconsin are so heavy you basically have to plow in v mode or layer it off...

With a heavy snowfall like that, I would do a few passes, and then push that into your pile. Do a few more passes and then push into the pile. The pushes will at least be a little easier.

That is a good idea! I really wanted to test the wings with this heavy snow but for longevity your method would be much easier on equipment!

[@deereman2607]

@@dakotalawnandlandscape does the plow drop/sag with the wings on it when you put the plow in scoop mode? I have a 9’ 2” on my truck and have been thinking about getting the wings, but Boss says they are not recommended on the 9’ 2” for that reason.

[@dakotalawnandlandscape]

They are heavy when in scoop mode and the plow does sag a little.. my dealer told me the same thing but now that I've used them I would never plow without them! I just try to keep them flat after pushing a pile and put it in scoop mode on the ground

[@KingofComputing]

You gotta take smaller bites when it’s heavy snow like that, it’s tough on the plow, truck and everything. I’d make that pile then push like 1/3 of that pile down the row.

[@puntacanaman1]

I'm not sure if it's been asked, but do you plow in Low Range? It doesn't sound like it.

[@marm842]

I enjoyed your video. But may I suggest to circle the lot instead of all the backing. Take little less bite to avoid over spill. Also windrow instead of scoop mode. It's all trial an error at first.also depends on lot lay out.a short iron pull plow or snow pro pull plow or boss 180 z pull plow now. Would greatly save you time. I prefer short iron mounting system. You don't have to lose your tailgate or drill a bunch of holes in your box for 5 th wheel rails.

[@dakotalawnandlandscape]

Might have to look at the possibility of getting a back plow! Could help greatly!

[@pont09g8gt]

Would be great to be able to see he actual layout of the property to better understand the process. When pushing straight the way you did you need to stagger the piles a little so that when you push across you get better forward motion. When it is in a straight line as you did you are constantly fighting the pile. If you encounter issues where you can’t get enough push when windrowing make a couple relief cuts across the lot, should make it easier.

[@dakotalawnandlandscape]

This is very true.. staggering the piles would’ve helped a lot to be able to push all the way without having the wings fold back or coming to a stop!

[@mikehendricks7359]

The plow runs off your battery so every time you raise it lower it move it side to side you're using your battery. You should charge them after you're done plowing to put it back to full charge. And next time if you're going to scoop the whole parking lot and leave overflow. Just scooped up your overflow instead of rolling it

[@mikehendricks7359]

In other words your alternator is not going to keep up the battery charge. I bet you you raised and angle your plow over 300 times when you're out in the night.

[@mikehendricks7359]

I do like how you set yourself up for two or three steps down the road

[@dakotalawnandlandscape]

Gotcha! Didn’t think about the strain on the battery.. I drive around after I’m done putting equipment away and filling it up so that should help charge it but I could see not wanting to shut it off right away. I think next time I might try pushing the other way in the lot even though they are more obstacles that way!

[@mikehendricks7359]

Just remember when you're plowing a parking lot Shopping Center you want to have snow as far away from the building as you can. And you want to try and keep as many parking spots as you can. So on that lot if you push away from the back of the cars that way you can push away from the building.

Leaving too much runoff/spillage with each pass.

We've found that scooping as much as possible and then going back to windrow with downforce on allows us to get a better scrape as well as saves time for anything over 6" even though we have a lot of spillage. Windrowing that much snow, we can only use 1/3 of the blade width to not get spillage.

You can adjust that. On a straight blade it’s the crossover relief valve, on v plows I believe you have to adjust the relief valve for that piston. It’ll dump the fluid back in the reservoir as opposed to going into opposite angle cylinder like on a straight blade
