SnoPower F14 Snow Plow Never Seen Before UNTIL NOW!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

What do you guys think about plowing 14’ of snow in a pass?!

[@jdias51]

.5 1inch of fluff over that your out of truck Super nice to final clean dingle balls of snow in a big parking lot But if those wings clip a curb there gonna break or break your truck Driveways small lots don't see a need bigger parking lot hell yehh

[@porfirio3820]

Just out of curiosity from a Floridian here. Does this stay on the truck all year long or is there options to remove it?

[@clevercloverlawncare5066]

What a good dude. Thanks, Brian.

[@proc7867]

@@porfirio3820 you take it off, depends on company, people, storms, but some people leave them on all winter, and some take them off after each storm. But no, it is not a permanent fixture to the truck.

[@jdias51]

@@porfirio3820 my pickup i take plow and sander off/out every storm because i drive it everyday dump trucks leave the plows and sanders in all season but I take weight off the rear springs so I do not damage the springs

[@1971ufcfan]

I have been installing BOSS, MEYER. SNOWDOGG, and a few others for years at our BOSS dealership. And Boss has used Nitrogen for their down force for a few years. I know these guys have worked with BOSS on the Drag pro rear plow. And the BOSS undercarriage he used on the front of plow is great . I love these plows . and if you keep the BOSS wiring on the truck along with the wiring for the Snow power , you could actually use either plow. But I'm worried about long term use and weight. Man !! I love how he's doing this all in house, so much like our shop . We also do service beds, in house dump , flat beds, out of steel or aluminum. I've got to go see this place. Congratulations!! I'm a fan!!

[@jamesnm21]

I think the 12 ft version is better suited to a front plow and not quite so heavy. Front end will take an extra beating for sure.

[@Watchyagot211]

Definitely interested to see how this will handle heavy wet snow. Looks great though!

[@brianscott9861]

Enjoyed watching. I use to cut all the steel and fabricaton with the frame before welding

[@nickwallace9955]

Rick is such a BA! In other videos I've seen him in, he seems so knowledgeable about his new ideas. Props to this entrepreneur!

[@grumpy1311]

Next Level stuff Brian all around! So awesome to see in house fabrication!

[@glendajune9140]

Congratulations Brian on your new purchase. I enjoyed the process of the build,& set-up. Can’t wait to see the performance this winter. Stay safe,& healthy.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@dinotudisca3821]

One thing to keep in mind. All of these truck mounts are/ were designed for the 8-9’ plows V plows and the like. Pushing a 14’ plow at both the additional weight of the plow and weight of the extra snow may damage the frame of the truck easier then the manufacturer of plow mount with the plow designed for that mount would. Just a thought.

[@Bak0nat3r]

Dude welding in shorts and slippers is vetted. Goat

[@leonardbartley5670]

Freakin awesome video Brian. Thanks

[@joshmoulton1580]

That's awesome that you can connect other plows up to it. That's smart thinking

[@bblawncarekc]

Dude… that’s awesome!!

[@winnebagolawnandsnow3999]

I mean I understand the point and think it’s awesome.. but I just feel like if this was a good idea boss or western would have done it already. That’s a lot of snow per push and I just don’t know how well transmissions will like it. I also would stick with a plow you can get service. Our boss dealer is open during storms all night. But I will definitely be watching this winter to see how it goes!! 👍

[@mxzeatr]

Same thing was said when they released the 16' backblade. Now boss has it...🤔

[@Terk131]

Douglas Dynamics is about making the company money. The angle cylinders blow out now, pumps are garbage and the metal is junk. We need new inventive products.

[@brandonschudlich1497]

The exact same thing was being said when Blizzard plows were being built out of a barn in Calumet Michigan.. Now Douglas Dynamics owns the patent and threw away the brand and old tank plows and now build Junk.. I still have an original blizzard power plow... 18 years old and still pushing..

[@Terk131]

@@brandonschudlich1497 Just like the Air Flow plows. Real stainless steel built plow with a Curtis type hitch. They had an awesome all stainless V as well that only a few made it to market before douglas dynamics bought them out. Thats were the "Ultra-mount" came from, now Douglas Dynamics uses that hydraulic pump setup and they took the strong all stainless plow and hid it from the light of day. I have 3 and I love them.

[@orbitalspacestation6909]

I like how they are working with Boss, and would love to see them use some of Boss's technology like Smarthitch. One that would be nice to see is a spring load kick stand pin. One of my concerns is when a cylinder breaks like no one is going to have the replacements other than Sno Power them selves, but other than that looks great

[@kblessing93]

Wow snow power will be a game changer.

[@bladezllc]

This was a really fun video Brian! Maybe instead of a shop tour next year. You should do a manufacturing tour of some of the products you use. Excellent job!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Great idea!

[@georgeholmes9851]

90% of our accounts are in muskegon. Rick is a good dude. Shout out from Greenscapes from Montague!

Nice blade. Look forward to seeing it use thus winter.

[@logansimpson5980]

Great video cool new plow

[@bigmikesnydet000666]

Hey brian, thanks for the in-depth tour of the shop really helps deciding on my new purchase for next year season. Currently have the dxt and love it, but you can't beat the productivity of that new snowpower. I was just kind of waiting it out a little while to see how well it does in our industry. #Macomb twp.

[@charlesdoepping5616]

Very interesting I'll definitely be watching and that plow definitely looks badass on your truck

[@platinumlawnservice]

Great for light snow storms in wide open areas! Looks really cool. Wonder how it handles a 2 foot storm or a foot plush of slushy stuff? Guess we will find out.

[@JimVincitore]

Great video! Very cool! LOVE IT!

[@brianherron5400]

Nice plow setup 👌, added some weight to the front.

[@oby-1607]

Wow. Want to see that in action.

[@byronn.2885]

That will take some getting use to for sure. That’s a wide cut. Hopefully we get more snow up here in northern Michigan this year. Bought a new plow this summer to be ready. Congratulations on your success brother. I’ve been watching the channel for several years now and it’s great seeing your hard work paying off for your family and crew.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Thanks Bryon, back at ya pal.

[@kenmarchbanks4301]

Nice setup. I really like what I see but would have to be able to angle the main blade for our work. A foot of heavy wet snow won’t slide very well with an angle blade. Keep up the good work.

[@Andrew-ln6wr]

So the 8ft plow doesn't move side to side ?

[@1972jeep1]

I like it but think if the main blade angles it would be better. I understand why they aren't able to though

[@Andrew_Garcia1]

Sweet!! My biggest concern would be 9 cylinders. Lots of moving parts. Looks to be over engineered and not in a great way. Not hating, just concerned. Time will tell, I could be 💯 wrong but there’s a lot going on there. Pretty sweet though congrats on the new plow!

[@jls7006]

I will be tuned in this winter.

[@ClintonCountyDroneGuy]

I will be waiting on plow vids and updates.

[@tonywoods3197]

Hi Brian very 😎 video what's the Price on That Snow plow and being that it's 14ft Wide do you need 2Batteries to operate it

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

$16k!

[@Elementsian]

SnoPower is gonna change the way people plow. 12' - 14' per pass... Unreal!

[@csmlawnandlandscape7619]

Cool video. I think I saw a video where Stan did an install of one of these Sno Power front plows a few months ago.

[@sneakymikels1]

Hey I have basically the same truck and I'm nearly on the bump stops picking up a 9'2" Boss V. Did you do anything to the front suspension to handle the extra weight?

[@stevesasman7846]

Since they already have a Tesla in the shop, I assume they will be one of the first to rig up a CYBERTRUCK with a plow? Hopefully I get my Quad motor CT in time for next winter as I'm pretty early in line and def want to plow with it.

[@proc7867]

How’s the trip work with the wings forward? Seems like a good way to go head first through the windshield or bend a truck frame. And 9 cylinders... lot more seals and hoses to leak... not including using both hydraulic fluid and nitrogen. And separate buttons to put power to different switches, just seems like a lot of extra stuff to go wrong with the unit. Also, what is the availability of parts in the middle of a storm if a cylinder, hose, controller goes bad? Is the nearest parts hours away in bad weather, local parts, need to carry a spare of every part? Hope it works out for you. Be interesting to see how it performs and if you will be able to use the full 14’ effectively in different types of snows. I think I’ll stick with my arctic 12.5’ sectional for now

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Yup, once a dealer pops up local, those issues will minimize. And we'll get to learn how to fix our equipment. All good.

[@doublet9212]

Need some timbrens or bags in the front now. That truck looks sweet though. Not sure how I feel about the 8’ portion not being able to articulate. A little odd if you ask me. However, maybe the 3’ of wings on each side will accommodate that.

[@ehexzs10]

Do u need a F350 or can u use f250. Or chevy 3500 vs 2500

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

1 ton would be my suggestion (or above).

[@tomstradinger5958]

Hello from, GR great video. Think Dirt monkey was in Muskegon while back.

[@tonymcfee]

Damn bro! Stepping up the plow game! That thing looks scary wide opened! This is going to add so much efficiency on the commercial accounts! Are you getting the Boss adapter for the other plow? Congrats Brian! Looks amazing!

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Thundah truck will still rock the BOSS 9.2!

[@isaacverberkmoes7507]

It would be really cool if you could angle the plow…. Also a lot of buttons for that controller. Hopefully it works well for you!

[@ericlenzi2718]

My question is the gap between the wings and center board when i watched stans video i noticed a trail and why no curb guards

[@RYAN-bw8mn]

that's why I have a box pusher for my skid steer

This is a gamble it’s either going to be good or it will end terribly,I get the whole idea behind it an I support you Brian but I feel like if the idea would work fisher or boss would use it but hey I’m going to watch this snow season an see how it goes! But if something breaks you will be out money as this isn’t your typical plow an parts may not be readily available but hey awesome video as always man.

[@michaelcollins1398]

[@LoneWolfSnowplowing]

Hi Name is Brian

[@bigjesse153]

So what's the price tag

[@jimcurtis569]

A B-52 for carpet bombing (carpet plowing?) big lots with a big truck. For a lot of my work here in the Upper Peninsula I need an A-10 Warthog to do precision strikes and still survive taking a beating.

[@caleboldhouser478]

I’ve been using Fisher XLS plows for years. Wing plows plow circles around V Plows. I’m sure this is very productive. But I don’t like to be the Guinea Pig so I will wait to see how they hold up first.

[@jamesnm21]

Add wings to a V and you can carry a lot of snow. Plus handier for backdragging with reverse containment.

[@Freedomrider1685]

What’s the cost?

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

$16k.

Will Godzilla have enough torque to push it when it's wet and heavy?

I suggest that they should put a strobe on the wings

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 Pretty sweet, indeed. These people and their products are impressive.

[@waynederby4684]

Ok so it does parking lots really well. What about tight residential. What about dirt & gravel parking lots & drive ways? What about dirt & gravel roads that have a middle crown with wheel depressions on either side so you not plowing a "flat" surface? Sounds great in the middle of town or commercial area but there are more guys plowing out of town & in the Boonies that in town. Doesn't sound like this plow can do any better than a Western, Fisher or Snow X , all Douglas Dynamic plows but what about Myers or Boss in in those out of town areas? Sounds to me like your spending way more money for something that is not going to preform any better than a less expensive plow................ Please tell and EXPLAIN how I'm wrong.. Thank You.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

Worked great on gravel, and driveways. We have a v plow for the rest of the work! This is our wide open lot plow.

[@todd04h]

This plow is the guy she told you was just a friend lmao

[@paultkr8184]

Great concept,,, to many moving parts.

[@alexbruch6391]

That plow would be better if it actually angled side to side instead of being stuck in straight blade mode in my opinion

[@jonburgess30]

my fear is it would be hard to park with a square plow or drive. hard enough to park or drive with a v or straight. would like to see long term hold up. i will still buy from boss because they are 15min away.

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

💯💯

[@alscompleteoutdoor9091]

Like the previous comments I just don't see any even 1 ton being able to handle that kind of weight.its not a dump truck or loader...that's got burned up clutch plates written all over it.obviously you would be smart and probably put in manual shift and plow in 3rd gear like you would if you were pulling...

[@aidan5514]

Good way to burn through transmissions while beating up the rest of your truck

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

We drove it for 2.5 hours home, transmission was cool as a cucumber, no issues. But yeah.. you're probably right.

[@aidan5514]

@@BriansLawnMaintenance good thing you don’t get real snow storms where you’re at lol never seen you plow more than like 8” of snow. I’d like to see how that plow would do pushing 3 feet of snow up a half mile long driveway that goes straight up a hill. 14 foot plows shouldn’t be on pickups, but then again that’s just my opinion. Hope it works out

[@mattslandscaping4246]

It's a good idea for the person that has a truck and has one big lot but if you need that big of blade on the truck it's time to buy a piece of equipment you'll never want to plow the truck again

Not good it is impracticable for a pickup truck even a 350. Too much wait on the front will destroy that front end. Did you see how his truck was squatting at the end of the video? The truck is not a loader. when the snow gets heavy he will have to make small piles in the lot until a loader comes. Here in Buffalo NY, we know heavy snow. Good luck with that Brian.
