Snow Plow Vlog- RAM 3500 Cummins & Fisher Plow!

[@farisfayedalshebani]

Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. kzbin.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.

Your narration was enjoyable...lots of snow more than most. Stay safe and thanks for sharing!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you!! 🙂

[@gmcguy]

Great job @DeHaven Family Farm -- love the "plow-a-long" videos

[@GuyinWY]

That thing plows better than I thought it would with that aluminum bed and no weight. Nice!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It has done a good job, but its almost unstoppable with the chains on 🙂

[@mikep7810]

Nice job Chris. We sure have gotten a lot of snow this winter. Sounds like more is on its way. Be safe out there!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thanks. I sure am ready for this winter to be over!!

[@farmerpete]

That's some serious snow. Been a lot of years since I've had to chain up a truck. I don't miss it.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It sure was! Putting chains on isn't bad in the warm garage 😁

[@jenniferroecker4216]

Very nice dude….enjoyed the scenery and impromptu tour of your home town.Mike Sr.

[@ryckmanangusranch4349]

Hey that outfit works great Chris. Man you have lots of snow. Becareful and stay safe n warm my friend.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I have been happy with the setup. We have too much, and I hear there is more on the way!! ☹

[@VintageFarm1086]

Wow the truck did a good job. Thanks for the ride along.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I have been very happy with its plowing ability. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

[@jankotze1959]

That was very nice Chris, I can't imagine all that snow, stay warm

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I sure am trying to stay warm, but the temperatures have been below normal 😔 I am tired of snow....

[@kubotaoz6108]

What year is your truck, also what is your rear end ratio. Is your diesel the high output. I used fisher plows in my business. Thanks a million. Take care and stay safe 😀

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It is a 2018, with a 4.10 rear. It is not the high output. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@kubotaoz6108]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm Thanks for the reply. Take care and stay safe 😀

[@michiganhay7844]

That’s some amazing snow plowing I’ve never pushed that much snow before we don’t get that here I’d like to get some of those snow chain tensioner’s that you have on the truck but yeah I always have problem keeping in mind and keep them tight if I’m going very far

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It has been an above average winter for snow fall here- I hope that doesn't mean we are in for a rainy hay season... The tensioners work great!

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

So much snow!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Too much!! 🤣🤣 Is it Spring yet??

[@GerraldFarms]

Pretty cool plowing snow. I’ve never plowed snow. Lol. Have a good one buddy

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Come on up- I'll let you plow as much as you want 😉

[@ctdieselnut]

Speaking about the 1st gear thing. Doing heavy snow and a lot of passes in one place, I'd throw it in low range. If it wants to shift, let it, or you can still peg it in 1st manually. It keeps tranny temps down, and heat will kill a trans faster than anything. Hey, it's your truck, do what makes you happy but just a suggestion. I know you can plow everything in high range, but low puts the strain on the gear reduction, not the trans. Big dually truck, big plow, deep heavy snow, mighty cummins low end torque= world of pain for torque converter/trans. Does it have the aisin?

[@peterlast9354]

Ever plow driveways with hills? I’m wondering if pulling 1 wheel off each side of rear would give better traction being more weight on the 2 wheels vs 4 wheels? Plus adding ballast and traction weight to the rear.

[@LoneWolfSnowplowing]

all the rain we are getting is killing me

[@barrycamp2040]

I plow with a single wheel 2500 Cummins only 9.6 xv2 we got 42 inches and had no problem your truck will push

[@jordanaston7031]

Have you tried it without chains? How does it work? Company has an F350 gas job with a cm steel flat bed.

[@apatchofheavenfarm2814]

That township road sounds like my road last one to be clear

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I'm glad i don't live on that road lol

[@AgWildNebraska]

There's places around here that believe snow removal is just waiting for sunshine to take care of it. Or are too scared they'll scrape a few kernels of gravel in the ditch they leave the blade a foot off the ground. You definitely got dumped on. Truck really pushes well

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

LOL Sounds like good local government at work! We sure have a lot of snow, with more on the way 😪

[@nocoolname32]

those V bars don't shred the smooth concrete floor of your shop?

[@brandonk1235]

I love your videos what your option on plowing with a 1/2 ton just for a season or two just to make sure it's for you

[@jhuntley575]

Looks like northern Maine. What state is this?

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Pennsylvania

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Lots of snow Chris, better there than here, lol

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Too much snow- are you sure you don't want some??? 😂

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm oh I am positive Chris, as I get older I realize I dont like the snow as much.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors me too!!

[@HumbleHaymakers]

Looks good, but keep the snow...👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Ah, come on! Sharing is caring- i would be happy to send some your way 🤣🤣

[@robertbeacham4314]

No snow,no video

[@robertmintz63]

I was wanting to see that truck plow through 3ft of snow , I have plowed snow & that would sure be the first

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

The first few passes along the road were 3 foot deep where the state plowed the snow in from the main road. Unfortunately the camera didn't want to sit on the dash, and I didn't have another good place to put it.

[@robertmintz63]

DeHaven Family Farm so what you are telling me is the county plow had left you a snow bank you had to bust through, before you could actually get to plow the road , where you said there was places that were 8” , which is really good but what about in-between those drifts ? I plowed snow with a 5 ton single axle possitrack , 478cu” Ford (gas) ,12 ft slusher & 8’ wing ,, & if we had 2” of wet snow even just using the slusher , & even sanding ,we needed to take several runs to get up some hills

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

@@robertmintz63 The 3 feet of snow was in the parking lot I plowed- I don't plow roads.

[@robertmintz63]

DeHaven Family Farm . I also ran a grader with a 14ft moldboard that I used to cut the melting ice out of intersections, but used the 12ft or was it 14ft ( don’t remember exactly )(that was 40yrs ago )- wing to to cut the banks down & back

[@robertmintz63]

DeHaven Family Farm . I was surprised that the truck did as good as it did with no weight on the back , but that diesel is heavy

[@FISHINisFUN86]

Wheres this at ive never pushed snow always wanted to lol

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Northeast PA. Plowing is enjoyable at first, but gets tiresome 😅

[@danielmartone3179]

Do you still have the JohnDeere 110tlb

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

No, I sold it when I got my mini excavator. I can't afford both lol

[@antoniobaldiviezo8140]

Nice video sr .strong truck. how do you like that plow ?

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you 🙂 I love the plow!

[@antoniobaldiviezo8140]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm im starting my snow removal busines and lawn care i have a western straight plow but thinking to change to fisher because the tripping edge and plus to v plow dont imagine pushing all the snow whit a straight plow

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

@@antoniobaldiviezo8140 the trip edge is why I only have owned Fisher plows. The V plow is most useful if you have larger areas to plow, like parking lots. It will clean up a lot about 2x as fast as a straight blade.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Get er done Chris!!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I am trying Ed! But I sure wish it would stop snowing 🤔

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm plow man wants it to stop?? Kinda hard to make money if you aren't plowing snow.... LOL

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin i wouldn't mind it so much, but it takes me a whole day to clean up the snow around the farm, and the plowing is only a small part of our income. Plus I am running out of places to push the snow 😂

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm ya.. maybe you should get into hauling it off??? Put the dump box on the truck.. money to be made👍

[@belajarcerdas23]

Like 29, great share my friend, stay connected 👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you 🙂

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

I smashed a car backing up one time. Lol

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I've never hit a car, but I am not used to these wide Ram mirrors and have almost smashed them into things several times this year 🤣🤣🤣

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

It was years ago in a ford with no rear window and them stupid mirrors they had. Big parking lot in the metro i was rolling back slow and heard this horn sound but was thinking what is making that noise on the truck. Rolled several hundred feet and the whole time the guy sat there and honked instead of moving. Lol. He was an ass and so was the company so i just told him off and to go to the shop

[@danswartwood4580]

Umm thanks

[@Videogamerforlife69]

nobody will be getting in that garage door for awhile

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Nope lol But I just push the snow where I'm told to 😁

[@johnwarren5406]

For all you amateurs who claim there in x amount of snow and your pushing it..Well show the tape measure b 4 u plow..Not the window not the pile..the pure white unprinted snow..Just sayin..50 year veteran. Using 30000 lb machines..But its all phun !

[@davecampbell1452]

Isn't 4x4 just add wait lol

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I don't really have anything to put on the back that is easy to take on and off. Weight would help some, but still doesn't help a lot in icy conditions.
