As a small business owner all I can say is you do you. What works for you may not work for others.

[@pagelservices]

Thanks!

[@jasonhoman3973]

definitely agree with your comment on truck vs loaders no reason to buy something else when your already making money with something you own and don't have the headaches that come with the bigger equipment

[@pagelservices]

Appreciate the comment!

[@sneezinhatch]

I agree he has the setup to do just as much as a loader and a 1/4 the cost of fuel

[@countrycaretakerpropertyse7981]

Once you push snow in a loader, you’ll never go back to a truck and plow. Plow trucks are inefficient. They are good if you have to get to an open up quickly but that’s honestly where the advantages stop. A Deere 244 and a metalpless will finish a lot exponentially faster. I get that if you’ve already got trucks it makes sense but in snow removal, efficiency is everything. Also another note: a loader will need a lot less maintenance in the long run.

[@pagelservices]

As explained in the video...They are very efficient for our properties and logistics, They are making money, and we have had basically 5 push events this season. We don't get hammered with snow like Wisconsin used to years ago. Also I'm taking my kids out for lunch today in my truck that made me money last week Thanks for watching!@@countrycaretakerpropertyse7981 🙂

[@johncarlson7955]

I remember as a kid in the U P of Michigan in the 70’s, shovel the driveway, dark,cold, way too early. Had it finished and the road plow came by and pushed it back in on me. Sucks being a kid at times 😢. LOL . Moved away fast, now in Texas lol 😊

[@pagelservices]

haha! Love Texas! Thanks for watching!

[@6.4hemidriver44]

Good show! I agree with your philosophy of utilizing the equipment you already have, that's smart.

[@pagelservices]

Thanks! Appreciate the comment!

We’re a truck based company. I get it and feel the same way. Good truck operating in this video.

[@pagelservices]

Right on, thanks for the kind words!

[@evan1788]

Screw the haters do what you need to do. Never worry about others cause they don’t know anything about your business.

[@pagelservices]

Appreciate it!

[@jenniferk.8536]

So satisfying to watch!, Always love riding along in the truck when someone I know has to plow!

[@pagelservices]

You bet, thanks for watching!

[@Rich-mb6bw]

I enjoy the truck and plow content. Keep the videos coming.

[@pagelservices]

Thanks, will do!

Bicycling in the winter! Minnesota baby! 😂😂

Haha, we are in Wisconsin but still, that person really had somewhere to be.

[@hamiam2243]

Line up 10 lots around town, loader vs plow and then tell me a loader is faster . You’re set up with that pull plow looks like the Way to go .💯

[@pagelservices]

There are definitely some lots i could smoke a loader on, but some of them the loader would smoke me lol

[@Loolitskasey]

loader would never be faster. I run a cat 980 loaders are made to move mounds of heavy material short distances.

[@timp3035]

Keep up the good work young man, I subd.

[@pagelservices]

Thanks for the sub! And appreciate the kind words!

Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching!

[@bayfish100]

Where I live, we use a couple farmers with the big John Deere tractors, buy them a pusher and have them push Walmart lots etc...

[@pagelservices]

That is awesome! If we get some larger commercial lots maybe we could do this in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@christhomas9837]

I love Western plows, I've used them since 1993. Personally I wouldn't be buying new lights for the plow. I can't believe this is your first plow that the lenses have broken, most of them do around here. I have to believe it is the cold. Your's may have lasted well because your park your trucks inside. Also I doubt you will be able to get the 3/4" nut off the underside of the light. It's a carriage bolt set in plastic, great design. I plowed from 1988-2019 but finally the stress and people's expectations got to me.

[@pagelservices]

Plowing can be a thankless job. Fortunately, with over two feet of snow in 4 days our crew worked their tails off to make sure we have happy customers. Thanks for watching!

[@HeavyChevyMega]

Awesome video, if your ever in Orchard Park NY , Bills Country bring your plow truck , had 5' of snow in 3 days out here, it was fun plowing w/ my Snowdogg plows . I actually was using a 6 1/2' plow on a JK Wrangler that never got stuck. The 2 Silverados got workouts doing the parking lots. Last year we went through 7' of snow followed by 5' snow in a blizzard in Buffalo, NY which is 20 min. from my house. It's fun but can be a bitch when parts start breaking. Love the new LED lights I installed a few months ago . Halogen are cheaper , but they suck. Keep plowing & be safe.

[@pagelservices]

Thanks for the comment and kind words! Be safe yourself!

[@francisrestucci1181]

Awesome video as always, have you considered getting a few back up trucks in case of break downs?

[@pagelservices]

Thank you! In a perfect world we alway to try and keep at least one spare on hand.

[@cackerson10]

Great authentic contact as always, do most of your clients pay for seasonal or by the time? I would think seasonal is more popular with commercial accounts.

[@pagelservices]

Thanks for the kind words! We offer both options for our customers.

[@jamiewawrzonek7419]

Use electrical die grease. And squeeze the connections together inside the connector.

[@pagelservices]

Thanks for the tip!

[@chrisbrandt3642]

I agree with the loader comment. You really need to get a loader or 2 and you will change your tune. We thought like you but we don't anymore. We replaced 4 to 5 plow trucks with 2 loaders. I did think about your services area as well. Trucks are as much as a CAT 906 - 908, or similar compact loader especially once you put 2 plows on them.

[@pagelservices]

Maybe in the future we can add a couple more loaders. But every one of those trucks we need for the summer. We have multiple services we offer and use them daily. But fingers crossed more loaders in the future! Thanks for watching!

[@Videogamerforlife69]

I'm about 3 hours north of you and my boss owns a couples loaders and 580 and other machines and the big machines are for winter only, but with nobody wanting to work a lot of our machines sit and we have sub contractors with loaders and tractors. we really only use them to load salt at shop and to haul snow and push snow back these days. I mostly use my truck and some skids on sights sidewalk machines/shovel. my boss mostly goes site to site and runs ventracs on sidewalks since we dont have the man power.

[@pagelservices]

We have thought about ventracs for walks, thanks for watching

[@snowblowerman5115]

​@pagelservices We use ventracs for walkways. It's Deffintly a game changer stuff that used to take an hr to shovel or snowblow takes 5 minutes now. We use the stand up ones if you got the enclosed cab ride ones plenty of attachments to use them all year

[@eldonjenkins551]

My Paw always said the 2 cheapest mechanic bills you will ever pay is a quart of oil and a tube of grease and use both I'm 74 and found this to be true

[@pagelservices]

Sounds like a smart person! Thanks for watching!

[@mralvarez8065]

Had a similar issue with my Western snow plow headlight. Still haven’t fixed it yet, what was wrong with yours? Great videos

[@pagelservices]

Thanks for the kind words. Loose connection. Thanks for watching!

[@DanielTaylor-nv7zp]

We run a SnoPower back blade, but it seems to have trouble scraping any sort of hard pack, even with full downpressure . How had your experience been with your back blade, and is it a Short Iron? Thanks!

[@pagelservices]

I made my back blade 9 years ago. Yes I copied short irons design. But I run steel edges all the way around. never had an issue! thanks for watching

[@michaelbefumo-qg7ji]

How many miles are on a Chevy how has it held up over the years transmission engine

[@johneden7975]

The amount of fuel you’d torch thru driving loaders would buy a few transmissions for that fleet! I do have a question tho. When you were plowing the cutaway vid after loader comment. Why don’t you plow in reverse when you back up for another front push?

[@pagelservices]

Facts! Thanks for watching!

[@billknepfel]

How do you like the tornado salters?

[@pagelservices]

Love em. All we use. Thanks for watching!

[@warrengillies-ym1td]

Hi I made a request regarding the mobile radios that are on your trucks and I don’t see the video about it yet

[@pagelservices]

We plan on getting there. The last couple of weeks has been all plowing around these parts. Thanks for watching!

[@derekhunter2133]

Who do you have do your sunstrips I tried having my letter guy do mine but he couldn’t get it done.

[@pagelservices]

I have a local company print them but we install them ourselves. FYI they are a big PAIN IN THE A**. haha, thanks for watching!

[@rideriprepeat7876]

Would you ever do residential?

[@pagelservices]

We used to do a ton of residential, but with our set up and having so many commercial clients we had to stop doing residential for the time being. Thanks for watching!

[@francisrestucci1181]

Did you ever figure out why that plow light was dim?

[@pagelservices]

Loose connection on main plug from harness to plow. Thanks for watching!

[@tcmits3699]

Oblivious this guy never grew up on a farm. Plowing snow is like discing a field. No wonder the transfer case went, all that backing up, and not moving any snow. Next to go will be his differentials(failed crush sleeve leading to pinion bearing failure)seen this movie before 😂

[@pagelservices]

Everyone tells me not to reply to stupid comments...But, You definitely win the gold trophy for Stupid comment! Congrats Bud!

[@tcmits3699]

Nwo landscaping /snow removal company, won’t knock plowing with a truck anything beats a shovel but even a loader to start could expand your business too
