Testing a new Snowplow

Sno-power has modded their back blade to fit the front of a truck. BUT will it work?

[@timnash8111]

Rick is most genuine kind hearted guy ever!! He has busted his butt all his life and still doing it!! He is just like his Dad!! Love and miss you Ron!! Merry Christmas to all of your families!

Agree , 100%. Craig Nash

Plus he is out in a snow storm in short-sleeves, no hat no gloves. A kind, real man, I guess you could say.

[@cr257]

It was like 65+ degrees here in Northern Virginia on Christmas... glad you guys were able to take the snow for us!

[@Dirtmonkey]

It’s on and off here for sure!

[@beardedguardian71]

You can tell Rick was a Michigander wearing a t-shirt like its 70. Lol. We dont need anything till it drops below zero then its time to dig out a hoodie. Cool plow btw

[@Stretch1931]

Thanks for the high-speed video. It helps really get a better perspective of how. you pick your lanes and have to plot it out. I'm guessing after a few more runs on this lot the team will have a coordinated dance together where everyone rakes to a certain area, and then someone else pushes it off. But what a process!

[@honestjay8120]

I noticed ever since you grooved the tires on the sledge she pushes snow way better with no slippage awesome video Stan 👍🔥🇺🇸

[@Dirtmonkey]

So stoked 😁 & thanks brother!

[@hardwareshomestead8959]

After growing up and living in Ohio for 45 years, I decided that I had had enough of winter, so I moved to Arkansas. We might get a snowstorm like that maybe once every 5 years. But if we wait a day or two, it turns 60 degrees and melts. But there is something quite satisfying about watching snow plowing. Enjoyed that video

[@DakinRinone]

Thanks for giving me something to watch on Christmas eve. Merry Christmas and a happy new years.

I can’t believe how good it did back dragging. That’s a huge plus when doing residential drives that don’t have anywhere to push snow when pulling in. Love the creativity of this guy.

the other plow did better tho. the dark truck

[@doejon6821]

[@jeffersonroth1638]

Seems like the perfect combination when paired with the decked boxes.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Yeah! Thats what I was thinking.

[@jamesnm21]

Wow. This is very interesting. I contacted Snopower a year ago about putting a live cutting edge on the pull plows to improve the scrape based on your reviews and your praise for the sectional pushers. From what they said it sounded like the Metalpless patented design limited their own options for developing a spring style live edge. Interesting to see what they came up with. Hope it works well and is reliable.

Interesting plow, works well. I personally push a Western Wide Out. This one is over 10 years old and has been an outstanding piece of equipment for me.

[@Dirtmonkey]

awesome!

[@landscapingspecialist]

Yes, i to am partial to the wide-out as well. Seems to be the most productive for out use cases.

[@landscapingspecialist]

Id be curious what kind of life expectancy that cutting edge offers. I know the western edges MIGHT get you through one average season of work. I replaced my worn western edges with thicker (and heavier) fabricated edges. Will see how these wear over stock. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@rhadden8976]

Watching the snow removal is great and it reminds me of why I moved south 38 yrs ago. I can say I don't miss being in it but watching is good

Great job Stan . Upstate NY , we’re always behind the snowplow technology for some reason here in the northeast USA. ITS 3 am Today is a light ice event for a few hours turning to rain by mid day I got up to see if it’s slippery yet,I’m retired but work the winter storms to help.Local town highway dept. We have60 miles of mostly country roads with 4 10 wheel dumps, and a single axle dump that helps all 4 routes on steep hills and bad spots with straight run salt . The other trucks mix 2 or 3 buckets of salt with sand .anyway I love seeing the new stuff you show us ! Merry Christmas to you all ! Looks like I’ll be working for a few hours the rain should kill the ice by midday……I hope !….

[@bobbyg6662]

That's always fun...we got about 6 to 8 inches up here in the Brainerd lakes area. And going to get another 6 to 8 between Christmas and new years....Then REAL winter starts for us (below 0 temps). Got to love Minnesota. Merry Christmas

[@lilredcummins]

Stan, I don't know how to say this politely, but you need to PLOW WITH A PLAN. I've plowed small and large lots, for over 40 years and I have never seen anyone flit around parking lots as much as your crew. You need to analyze the area BEFORE winter and draw up a plow plan to minimize re-plowing over areas that are already done. I know it is hard with segmented areas and islands, but you can do better by starting at the farthest point from where the snow is being pushed and then work over to that area with overlap. I know that when snow is heavy, you will most likely need to plow twice, but controlling the overlap will minimize the amount of times you push the same area. Just my 2 cents. I enjoy your videos showing the new equipment and plow designs. Thanks.

[@djk3382]

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this. To each their own, his crew his money so whatever. But oh my did it drive me a little nuts watching the incredible amount of wasted laps. The entire time I was thinking my guys would be getting a lesson on wasted time and picking a good starting line. Non the less good video.

[@ryanhunt5281]

I feel as if maybe they are trying to minimize the wear and tear or the trucks? Not sure,but i plow too.this is odd to me also.ive also never plowed something this large

[@jasoncornett7948]

I enjoy his videos but I was thinking the same thing, a lot of there plowing is chaos, no plan, all over the place. I was waiting for nice straight clean lines.

[@jamesnm21]

I'm pretty sure they know exactly what they're doing. It may look random but it's not. There's a video where they put two loaders head to head on equal halves of a lot. One of the guys is from Stan's crew and the other is not and they both finish at the same time. What may look like wasted laps to you may be them doing a double scrape to get the lot cleaner. Also, I've observed any number of crews clearing large lots like Wal-Mart, etc and they can appear fragmented or patternless to the casual observer when in fact they are working together in a systematic and efficient process. If you had the chance to get out on the lot with them you'd probably see what they're doing.

[@tuomokuikka]

I agree. Theres no sence

[@rustyrods8535]

I like the idea of self leveling cutting edge , not so sure about all the working parts …what I’ve learned over 35 years in this business is the more parts that move the more you are running for parts lol . Merry Christmas great video .

No snow to plow here in southern Michigan, the only thing I've used my snowplow for so far is pushing a brush pile back while I was re-opening an old trail in the woods today. Thankfully my four-wheeler is small enough that it can't really break my plow.
