That’s not just a plow it’s artwork, I love to see the results of passion and necessity rolled together.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for viewing Jeff!

[@therobable1]

That down pressure helps when you have a tire blowout. Ask me how i know 😌

[@Donald_Shaw]

We were snowed in for a day here in Chaska, MN. The snow is beautiful to look at, but horrible to drive in. Yet another great video, Stan.

[@jamesjurss846]

I moved to North Lake Tahoe after 40 years in Florida (born and raised). Didn’t know what snow was til moving here!! Thanks for the videos!

[@Dirtmonkey]

I'm sure James! Thank you for watching !

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Left Minnesota in the 60s... never been back. If your going to stick it out and live the winter life, that plow is amazing! Very impressive!

[@richscott2952]

This video shows actual real time usage ,wet snow on the driveway with a grade ,great review Great video work ,cold , fog

[@kevina2052]

I don't plow at all, in fact, I live in Phoenix! I still found this interesting. The inventor is a smart dude!

[@steveboyd3551]

I want one in Tennessee

[@MrTdogg175]

You should tell them to add another light to the black box on the snow plow itself so that it’s basically a spot light on the ground so you have max visibility. I’ve seen plows before not sure what brand that were rear mounted, but had the light on the box above the actual plow, and one on each end of the wing that had two sides to the light, one side pointed out facing behind the truck and the other side of the bulb pointed toward the ground but facing forwards toward the cab so you could see the ground when you have the wings facing toward the truck instead of outward. I like extra visibility not just for yourself while plowing but the more someone else can see you the better I think. That’s why I also like the plow edge markers to have little LED’s inside to make it more apparent where exactly your edge is, especially when you’re out for 20-40 hours it helps to have a more noticeable point of reference!

[@ScottyLo]

Pretty cool idea. Gotta love people thinking outside the box

[@phillipbonner5215]

Unbelievable snow in April but that plow is really badass

Ik it's April I love watching the snow plow vids

[@henryl3617]

11:25 literally reaction; geez, that's a great way to change a tire. If the plow is able to hold that continuously. I'm sure they didn't make the plow for that too, but it would work.

[@cdngamereh]

this thing solves so many things all at once! good catch on the emergency tire swap

[@albertolawncare5563]

in the event you get stuck (with that much weight in the back it would be pretty tough), you can lift and dig your way out too! good catch!

[@BizarreSmalls]

for my work front it the way. work for the township, so mostly plowing roads...so just pushing from the front i think makes more sense.but if we did more parking lots i could see this being more useful. of course, our truck are international 7500's (or most are, still working on replacing mid 90's kodiaks) and we run with salt. we've also a few F550's for smaller routes.

[@riosconcretellc5321]

I got a quote of 8500.00. Plus shipping. But I am going to silver lake sand dunes 4th of July and hope I can pick it up on my way back to Chicagoland 🤩

[@jacoblawrence9849]

If i had that installed on my truck i would use that as an excuse to get a 5th wheel camp since the rails are already installed in the bed of the truck if they are raided for that kind of wight and that would help to save time with plowing

[@patmason7276]

Glad I live down south don't have to deal with that mess. Its nice to have some every so often. Nice plows ,probably should get some f450's to have extra strength for the plows. Good video

[@erictompkins8226]

That rail system, plus an adjustable hitch, would be great for an adjustable tow connect system.

[@rogerwalsberg]

I've had a rear blade on my rig for 8 years. They work great! You poopooers are like the people who drool with jealousy, while watching me back up to a garage door, power down, and just drive away.

[@timbarton5316]

Awesome thanks for the info

[@genelewis4074]

I plowed for a couple of years and lost my butt. Tore out a transfer case, steering knuckle on a closed knuckle, broke the ram off the pump on a western plow. I'm in no way interested in doing any more of that, but I enjoyed watching this video. I did get a good tax write off. The truck I now own does have the plow and towing package just because that is what I wanted. I didn't pick up on the tires you are running. The last set I bought was BF Goodrich TA radials. I have 26k on the Micheline tires that came on my truck so I'll be shopping for tires soon. I was told these are made in Fort Wayne Indiana. If anyone knows of something better, I would like to hear their recommendations. Thanks for the video.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Gene !

[@icynutn]

Awesome video...thanks!!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you Byron !

[@ThePlowGuys]

I have been watching the rear mounted plows for a while now. Although Tractors are better suited to use them. I believe that Front mounted plows will have to change to keep up with the changing times.

[@michaelmcintosh5064]

I watched this video for 3 seconds and its already genius

[@Dirtmonkey]

Appreciate that Michael, thank you !

[@bobbarker4255]

Excellent!

Thanks Bob!

[@SledgeHammer43]

That light looks like they met up with Federal Signal for their light technology. Personally Stan I would still get a V plow for the deep events. Use the V to punch a hole through and the pull plow to widen your hole like having side wings. Also if you have a pull plow forget about salting or deicing. It would be in the way. Yet you can add a wing to your pickups and still do deicing work at the same time.

[@heisman-gy8wh]

I have to say i love the case and kage blade i use.

[@leonardg8378]

I see you have two different pull plows. Maybe you addressed it in another video. Which pull plow do you like the best? The sno power or the guys from short iron fab? Thanks

[@chiefjoseph8154]

That’s a great rig for places who get 1” of snow.

[@Metal_Mechanic]

Not as nice as yours but I just built my own “Pull Plow” based on the premise that trucks and SUV’s are designed to pull. It only weighs 300lbs so my Jeep can easily handle the weight and is a “quick release” system so it can be loaded and unloaded quickly. Thank you for the video.

[@asylumvideos9358]

Decently looks like it take some time to get used to it. b nice to have one 👍

[@Packinheat1175]

I looked at those back plows and thought “why didn’t I invent that”......genius. I don’t see how it would be harder on the trucks.

[@wg5768]

Clickbait,where's the 19 inches of snow?

[@scooterinvegas1]

I don't need a plow in Las Vegas but I DO like the idea of being able to quickly change a flat tire in the back of my truck. :-)

[@MrRazor99]

Thanks for this awesome video! I totally understand snow plowing, as I live in Minnesota as well, northern Minnesota up by Bemidji. I was always wondering when they would develop a blade like this. What part of Minnesota are you guys?

[@ciservicesllc7275]

Do u think u could get a back plow instead of a front plow and just windrow snow drug into street onto curb or backup and push pile into parkway instead of buying a front plow?

[@nathanevans9115]

[@brianmarsh346]

I have 1 question can you get an extension to move it further away from the truck? Does that distance ever play a factor in the plowing?

[@codeman6998]

That's a long drive for a plow. Other than that thanks for visiting my great state of Michigan!

[@donaldpresdorf4560]

Don't know if you heard of R.A.S.K. ASSOCIATES they are in six states now plowed for them for 15 years as a foreman when Indiana got snow, only thing i see in your videos plowing snow with lots of equipment in one lot! I was always shamed for that, especially with snow boxes 15' was charged as 2 truck hours which cut your time on lot. You do a great job from what ive seen. Its a lot of work in short amount of time. Miss the snow here in Indiana maybe 15' in three years on those days would be 20 or more hours in a truck cab covering 24 lots. Have a good season! DND LANDSCAPE

[@willy_larry]

[@zachbaugh6317]

I can't think of any way this is harder on your truck. Trucks are designed and tested to pull heavy loads forward. Also, they are built to have heavy loads on the rear suspension, and all attach points to the truck are points designed for heavy loads, aka trailers.

[@toadamine]

All the helical gears in the transmission and rear end are made to be much stronger going forward than reverse...

[@MrDelco1970]

I don't think there is enough down pressure to make that big a difference

[@brettpomeroy6804]

Yeah but with the limited traction of snow that is less of an issue.

Only thing is these are harder on the transmission by working it harder in reverse. Reverse is a weak gear

I don't know a damn thing about plowing but this is interesting as hell. Maybe a stupid question: what about a brush system mounted in front?

[@Rubbernecker]

Handles 1" of snow no problem.

[@morgansmith3650]

handles more. just an internet video that doesnt well demonstrate full capabilities

[@robertmcdonnold3038]

Did they change the attachment from a three point connection below the bumper to a 5 point on the bed?

[@biker932012]

If only they could get the center to tilt slightly to the left or right to help move the heavier snow like you mentioned at 13:31, nothing major, just enough to help slide the snow to the side. Btw were getting 60s and rain here in Indy. 😎

[@kyleormston1768]

biker932012 I

[@morgansmith3650]

they should have gave up before the first plow was built. damn those engineers for even trying. if they only knew someone would have had a better idea than them..

[@chemmistt]

Tilting the center blade with the limited weight of the back of the truck would end up pushing the rear end off to the side.
