The Best Snowplow for a truck? Fisher, Western, Boss, Hiniker, SnowDogg, Sno-Power & Shortiron

[@nickd5591]

I'm one of "those guys" Diehard fisherplow fan, over 25years. I currently run two XV2 9'6'' stainless steel with the extensions making it over 11'4'' @ max. In northern Vermont, we get just as much snow. I'm glad to see those pull plows working great for your properties! This was very informative.. Thank you!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Nick!

[@seamusderby169]

My uncle dose parking lots in central NH all we use is Fisher product plus if it breaks the manufacturer is nearby and dealers are all over the place in NE

[@paulrodrigues9603]

I was from RI and always had Fisher plows. The last ones I ran were Minute Mount 2's They were great and trouble free. We always did bigger jobs than we were supposed to with pickups. One trick was (cutting edge were soft) we had a welder friend that made cutting edges from (hi-strength) scrap metal and discarded municipal blades. He also drilled the holes so that we could reverse them and get longer life out of a single piece. Fisher store would be open 24 hours during an event. I never had to visit them lonely people in the middle of the night. Oh and the Fisher trip edge! Only the bottom 6" of blade folds under when you hit an obstacle and the rest of the blade stands up straight. You don't lose any snow.

[@fros7314]

Im from Ri also just got a fisher

[@jamesnm21]

There's no sense in flipping a cutting edge. You need a certain amount of lap on the moldboard and the rest is cutting edge beneath it and you wear it down until there's nothing left. You just make twice as much work for yourself by dividing the edge in half and putting wear steel on both sides that you have to flip when one side wears down.

[@scottryan492]

Been using Fisher plows for over 30 years and not one complaint. Love my XV2! I live about 5 miles from Fisher so I also like supporting a local company that has a quality product.

[@srt4fan4u2]

love how you say, links will be in the bottom description and literally, there are no links lol. You do this CONSTANTLY

[@kevincloonan9787]

Stan great video as usual ! BUT you are missing out not running wide out blades ! we got rid of our V Blades and now run both Fisher and Western Wide outs. They are 8' and extended to 10' straight blade or 8' with scoop sides. They are rated to collect 40% more snow than a V Blade and are more efficient by far !!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Agreed, but he also has 16’ pull plows.

[@markb2797]

Moved to Maine 28 years ago and have run Fisher plows the whole time. I only plow my home and a few friends and family, but I also make do with old used, beat up equipment and it still always works, The first plow I used was probably 20 or 25 years old when I got it in 1990 8ft dual control with a pump that ran off the engine, not electric and I could stack snow about eight feet high with that plow. Service was incredible. Fisher faxed me the entire installation manual which was so old they didn't have them anymore and they were not on line in 1990. Incredible plows and service.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for the comments Mark

Interesting with the back plows, I would love to try one. Every plow has it's pro's and con's, the best advice I have is find a dealer near you that is well stocked and open during storms and buy the brand they sell just make sure it's a commercial grade plow. Because if something goes wrong in the middle of a storm and you can't fix it then you can get it fixed.

[@oby-1607]

Boss LED headlights are great just got a new plow this year with the LED lights and wow what a difference. I will say there customer service directly from Boss has taken a hit sense Toro bought them. The dealer network is still strong however!

[@davidmoore8741]

Make sure u adjust them for when the plow is up or down, hey come preset but not always correct depending on the truck. I readjusted all our plow lights every season cause plows get switched around from each truck all the time. Makes a world of difference

[@stxtwmxify]

Carson Schifsky do you like the poly one you got or would you go to a steel on ?

[@CarsonSchifsky]

@@davidmoore8741 Yep always have to readjust them. Usually our dealer does it when we pick up the plows if were putting them on the trucks.

[@CarsonSchifsky]

@@stxtwmxify I would never buy anything else again. Like they were saying stainless can still rust and costs more. Common misconception is the poly weighs less, when actually it weighs more. It weighs more because it needs extra support because the poly isn't as rigid as the steel is. The true benefit to the poly is it doesnt rust on the blade and the snow will roll off it better and not stick as much as steel. Downfall is its heavier and can fade in color if you let your plows sit out in the sun year round.

I now live in East Texas so not never really going to be doing any snow plowing but as a Former Canadian and Ohioan I grew up with snow plows and still love them and learning about them is just cool to me. Live your videos Mr. Stan, keep up the awesome job!!

[@lancebastnagel1350]

Very informative! I'm considering spending thousands of dollars for a complete setup and I appreciate the extent of your details and shared experiences. The length of the video didn't bother me at all. You have great unbiased info on all blades. My only problem with this video is the totally unnecessary and distracting music. The fast forward video effects was also not needed.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Appreciate the feedback Lance and thanks for watching !

[@craignakkula4605]

in the cutting edge situation i could not agree more, my dad works for the DOT and they use carbide/steel ones and the last 3 months and that is probably around 5,000 miles!!!! and a different DOT uses just normal steel cutting edges and they have to change the underblade cutting edge and wing cutting edge every 10 hours it is such a difference in quality between cutting edges and thank you for the cool video and keep up the great work! and a safe plowing season to all the plow truck drivers out there!!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Be safe too Craig and thank you!

[@Eduardo52831]

Fishers all day 100%. Their cross beams on the stainless steal plows are extremely sturdy, practically built like tanks. Cutting edges last forever and if you have a v-plow they will stack higher then any other plow. As you can tell I really like fishers and would recommend them to anyone. Just make sure you have a good dealer, and if your in New England like me that’s not a problem

[@joev3754]

Absolutely agree. North of Boston Ma. Two superduty with them V2 stainless. Built like Tanks just keep on going.

[@pryme2013]

I've never seen one of those rear mounted plows. Kinda cool. Pickups are okay for small spaces but are toys compared to a grader or large tractor

[@NiclasHorn]

well i assume that you like me lives there it snows properly during the winter. never seen a setup like this in my country, its either lorries / trucks or tractors doing the plowing, some times the big yellow big wheel Volvo´s doing the plowing. not a low level pickup. and they never plow it its less than 7cm of snow fall withing 24 hours.

[@pedrogunner9750]

This was good man. I think it’s important for people who are new to the snow removal world and even those of us who have done it for a good while to understand the ups and downs of each, brand and setup. We all know at a dealer usually they’ll just tell you theirs is the best (for obvious reason) so it’s good to see the pros and cons of the brands as well as front vs. dear blades.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Appreciate that Pedro, thank you !

[@fricot_21]

FINALLY!!!! I Am sooo pumped you made this video Stan! Very well done comparison between the brands. I am glad you decide to take a further look at the Fisher plows! I still think you need to at least get one for a demo. As I was trying to tell you last year, even though they are made by the same company as Western, the Fisher plows are much more robust in comparison to the Western. I mean you take one drive through Massachusetts and the rest of New England, during winter time, and all you see on plow trucks are Fisher plows primarily. My father and I both run Fisher's; he has run them his whole life, I am on my first Fisher (that is on my 2013 F250). My first plow was a Snowdogg 6'8 for my Explorer Sport Trac, that I had at the time (such a great driveway/small commercial setup, made me lots of $$$.) The Snowdogg was a nice plow but I always had problems with the plow plugs building up with moisture, snow, ice..ect which would build up a layer of electrolysis on the plug pins, I also had a similar problem with the relay block for the plow getting moisture inside; such a pain in the rear but other than that the plow was a great plow. Now that I am rockin a Fisher plow on my F250, I won't use any other brand. I love my Fisher, I'm just in need of some snow as it seems winter has yet to Southern Massachusetts yet :( I would like it if Fisher would come out with a LED light upgrade like Boss did, those LED lights are awesome and I'm quite jealous that Boss has them!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you Bryan!

[@CMNTMXR57]

Go west of Pennsylvania and it's all Western (myself included) or Boss. Also Douglas Dynamics (parent of Western/Fisher) also have LED's lighting system with built in heat. I am considering swapping my Nighthawk's out.

The only downside to the Fisher plows are the cost, but they last and stand up to abuse. I would love to get a pull plow, but I have to run a sander.

[@Mybabyboysofunny]

Some good info guys. Plowed almost 15+ winters in Northern Michigan running all kinds of front plows and back blades. You will absolutely love a back blade when you get used to it. I laugh when a guy gets jealous and says, “what do you need a back blade for” 😆. Fortunately, do enough pest control work now and some lawn care in spring through fall don’t have to jump in a plow truck anymore. Only way I’d get back into the snow is jumping into a warm cab with snow thrower on front with a back blade in a very densely populated area to make big $$. Or it’s just not worth it, to me. Haven’t missed much snow plowing the last 3 seasons anyway with the lack of snow up here lol. Stay safe pushing snow gentlemen!

1. Not for your average joe. Plowing in reverse, guys hit stuff plowing forward, I can only image. Its hard enough finding somebody you can trust running a straight blade in a truck. 2. No protection from hitting stuff , man hole covers, curbs etc. No trip edge or anything. Going 15 in reverse and hitting a manhole cover .Lets see that in a video. You say down pressure on it but it scrapes worse than a front blade with no down pressure. No discussion on full or trip edge plows. Seems like u missed that all together. The v plows on your trucks are scrapping all the time pulling in uneven driveways. That cant be good for the asphalt in HOA.? Uneven where on cutting edge corners as well. No talk of expandable plows . U missed that one too.

[@lancerasmussen8580]

I worked for a welding shop in WA, we built our own plows and installed them on customers' trucks. Based off Fisher design. We made the cutting edge so it could flipped upside down to get twice the longevity out of it as it wore down. In the years I worked there, never had a customer come for a replacement bit.

[@jamesnm21]

Unless you made the cutting edge 12-14 inches tall you just make twice as much work splitting it down the middle instead of putting all the wear steel below the mount holes.

Fisher is by far the best. I have serviced all brands of snow plows professionally for ten plus years. Have also plowed commercially with a few brands for about the same length of time and fisher takes the cake. By far best build quality, easiest to work on and service, and has the least troubles and downtime of any plow brand I’ve ever come across.

[@grumpy1311]

Great vid Stan! Definitely get yourself a Fisher ! We take for granted how durable they are built, but after seeing your comparison, it really stands out. We dont see ANY Westerns here in Maine, home of Fisher Snowplows! But I think Fisher uses the same grade cheap steel cutting edges as Western. Basically the same components, same controller, but with the added X bracing. ( you can get the dash mount joystick control for Fisher , maybe you would like that better). Oh and we are bummed because our local distributor would not sell us any of the Winter Equipment cutting edges as they said they had fitment issues with the bends?

I have a fisher and love it super easy to hook up and understand hook which is nice for this crazy weather we are having

[@K0NASTuFF]

Pro tip: Don't have music playing while we are trying to listen to you talk.

[@PuBearsticks]

Or apply compression to soften the music while speaking

[@FlyinRaptorJesus]

I didn't notice the music till I saw the comment lol

[@AceAlaska]

Dammit I can’t listen now

You can make down pressure on a Boss by utilizing the Smart hitch. I didn't do it because I would have lost smart hitch feature. Which means you have to connect manually. It actually isn't that hard to do. Thanks for videos. I had a Fisher prior to the Boss. Loved it! Have no customer support where I'm at in the UP

[@Dirtmonkey]

You're welcome, thanks for watching !

[@iceroad416]

Fisher is nubmer1 in atlantic canada hands down

[@Gantzz321]

not even sure there is a second place

[@mzwicker79]

i dunno, i see them all here. i have a snowdog, but there’s boss, western, arctic, and meyers...

[@jarretretfalvi7848]

Yeah your right, I work in a heavy duty truck parts store. We sold basically everything but fisher now because they sell a lot better, western is second in my book

[@brodytingley3542]

Fisher in New Brunswick 75% of the time

[@azimaz5483]

Fisher is cheap lol

[@clydeperrine2959]

I watched the whole video thinking how much I like living in Florida and not having to deal with that wet stuff. But if I had a business like yours I would certainly check out the plows you demonstrated and make some coin cleaning parking lots.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for viewing Clyde!

Snowdogg mounts on the truck look really low to the ground.

[@doublet9212]

[@roynelson7613]

I have to share this with my buddies that push snow man those back plows are badass and do such a great job it's crazy I think they need to be just a little bit taller but that's just me always a big thumbs up awesome Channel man all day and all night no bulshit👍👍👊👊👊🤘🤘🤙🤙

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you Roy!

[@ThePete2432]

On my 30th year of plowing, Fischer’s win

[@Jasiel.95]

Can you go into details as why?

[@jonsanger8302]

Fisher is how is spelled cap.

[@mrkurt4501]

Ran a Meyer "huffy" on my 2 wheel drive International pickup for years, was a snow plowing monster!!! Had lug tires on the truck and weighed down the rear end, it was a monster!!!

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

Have you ever looked at like a 6 or 7000 series John Deere tractor with a loader and box blade for pushing snow a few people around me in North Dakota that's all they run for commercial and residential units for the smaller storms they put a 16 foot box blade on the back and just have snow bucket on the front and for the 20in pounder snow storms they will put a 10-foot Pusher on the front and a snow blower on the back it seems like a really versatile system me being a farmer I can say I would much rather spend 20 to 30 hours in a tractor than a pickup a lot more legroom and definitely a smoother and more comfortable ride especially if you get an active seat

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for the suggestion Drew!

[@nickymadd3873]

You WILL NOT regret any fisher product. I live in CT and have used fisher products for years. Other then typical hydro lines/maintenance you’ll have no issues. They’re strong and heavy duty. The remote controller is to me is the biggest advantage in operation. Very simple to use. The V-plow and XLS model is right up your alley. Especially the XLS model. It turns into a push box. Even the I’m open minded, I don’t see myself ever buying anything but fisher

[@____________________________.x]

Music playing over the commentary? Not super keen on that. Great video though, crammed in a lot of good info.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked the video!

[@jordanbaker8800]

He’s not lying! The boss lights are the best lights I’ve ever used

[@finncarroll4486]

Go get yourself a Fisher XV2, the minute mount system is unbeatable!

[@Farmall450]

Just like a western lol

[@CMNTMXR57]

@@Farmall450 I was gonna say, the Ultra Mount is just as easy. Even my Wife did it after I had knee surgery and we needed to plow.

[@joev3754]

Fisher V2 stainless. Absolutely love them on my second and run them 8-10 years .

[@bkuz7344]

Fisher v plow #1 . Faster, heavy duty , lifts higher.

[@SmudgyContent]

Just signed up for you videos, and man you’re sick be hind that controller... I have plowed for couple yrs... I known some tricks but watching some things you done I have learned more... keep posting bud

[@Dirtmonkey]

I will Jeff and thanks for the support!

[@auctioneerboesker]

What is your favorite tire for pushing snow?

[@samuelbacon1596]

Stan have never pushed snow with a truck. ALWAY a skidsteer with a snow bucket. Also worked for a NUTBAG OF A GUY!!!!!!!! HE PUT A 8' bucket on a 753 bobcat to clean up a school parking lot WORKED FOR HIM ONE SEASON THAT WAS IT.!!!!!!!!! BUT ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE WHATS IN THE MARKET WHOS GOT WHAT!!!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS. TAKE CARE STAY WARM JUNKMANDO

[@Dirtmonkey]

Take care too Samuel, thank you !

[@scoll1310]

If I want to listen to music I would turn on a radio. I would like to hear the information on the snow plows.

[@chrissteiger1392]

Nice comparison. I have been out of the industry for a few years and the pull blades are definitely interesting!

[@shamrockmaintenancellc5650]

Boss has the smart lock pistons now that fixed the issue with the wings folding. I'd take my fisher over my boss any day

[@cameronmoore2515]

How long has this been a thing? My boss doesnt have it. And I bought it 3 months ago

[@semajniffirg230]

Its all about how the relief is set. It can be adjusted.

[@slicktrips]

Been running the same Fisher 9 foot straight blade mm1 for over 15 years have had minimal repairs on it and it has tackled some crazy snow fall. I tell every one I know to buy one ease of hook up (under 45 seconds) and it just works, up down left right and it stacks snow as good as any of the modern plows out there

[@andrewslwn]

Boss Power V DXT SS all the way!!!

[@johnchase7096]

I have used almost every plow their is to date. I have three sons who swear by boss, snow dog and my youngest and I use fisher. We have put more into to each of the boss and snow dog then we have both our fishers. It comes down to what you use and are comfortable with. Fisher plows are bullet proof.

[@philhashey9651]

Fisher 10 to 1 over anything else here in Maine, it's doesn't hurt that they are built in Rockland Me and provide a lot of good jobs

[@CMNTMXR57]

And it's 10:1 for Western really any point west of Pennsylvania

[@philhashey9651]

And both owned by Douglas Dynamics along with Blizzard
