Snowplowing the Christmas Blizzard 4k

[@mrparrotman03]

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.

[@micheal4487]

@@Dirtmonkey yea they do and it’s cool you see that. Also you actually work too. I was with a company that would have brand new plows on their truck and never leave the house during storms. They wouldn’t even put them on or take them off themselves, always having someone else do it every storm. It was VERY rare they would plow even a small driveway but when they did would have a crew go there too just to shovel the doorways. Literally 3 year old cutting edges with the shipping label or whatever still on it.

[@belement]

Stan I gotta say you are seriously a good dude. Especially seeing how you just move forward with positivity even after that accident it wasn't even a blip on your radar. Your guy looked like he had already beat himself up about it and I think you saw it too and instead of beating him up more you lightened the mood with some jokes and let him know that no one got hurt and a plow can be fixed no biggie. Showing that type of respect and kindness to your guys will pay dividends in return and I'm sure it already has.

What i have found out in my 20 years of snow plowing most electrical issues i have had are grounding issues!!!!! Put on an extra grounding cables from the plow to the truck. That is why I never went to the easy hook plows. I'm still running an original Boss RT1 with the pump under the hood and an old fisher from 1980's . I plow small lots and they still work fine!!!!

The pumps under the hood help keep your fluid warm. Thats a smart setup- used to run one myself.

Hey Stan. I own a snowdogg plow aswell in my 2019 ram. They say that you cannot have the lights in the ram set to "Automatic". You instead have to turn the dial lights on manually for them not to flicker. I don't know what the issue is with ram's wiring, but that is what they told me. My plow headlights will flicker if switched onto automatic.

Stan, %100 agree with the snow dog plows, if had mine since 2015, electrical issues in the second year 3rd, 4th, What we’ve done and has seemed to help is replace the entire harness, wrap electrical tape & Plastic around the controller connection on the inside of the cab, the harness connections on the exterior we grease, ziploc (with the small holes in an X formation for each plug, and electric tape it sealed shut. So far last year and this year, it’s been mint. We prefer our fisher plows though, V blade and extendable Good luck! Eh.

Thats the issue with loaders they were never designed for snow and even with snow tires they still aint that great a tractor with ag tires will out push a loader personally watched a 130hp Massey out push a volvo l90 but also the small loaders with just high and low suck for plowing you can't ever get enough speed to push a big pile when it happens also the pros of a full size machine the weight and I think you should get a 12 foot for that size loader no way it should have a 17 youre cutting into its performance have arctic bring one out and and time doing half the parking lot with one blade vs one the one that's to big for that machine be an interesting video
