[@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.

Favorite Matt's Off Road Recovery. I have been plowing accounts in the metro area since 97 and this one was definitely different, worst was about 15yrs or so ago spent 92hrs in cab in a 4 day period.

[@lucaslex9327]

That's my favorite part of plowing is the big boom when you hit the snow piles

[@Dirtmonkey]

That is really fun.

[@landscapingspecialist]

....until you forget the pile has thawed and re-froze 3 times. Then it’s more of a “dam I hope nobody was watching” moment. Then big boom is more of a violent crash.

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.

@@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.

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.

[@Dirtmonkey]

The lights don't bother me but the rest of the plow not working sure does.

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
