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

Side by side comparison of 7 different snowplows. Boss, Western, Hiniker, Fisher, Snowdogg, Sno-power & Short-iron. The good, bad and whatever else we could figure out on these plows as we look at them all together.

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.

[@johnossendorf9979]

The music is making this hard to watch.

[@CarsonSchifsky]

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.

[@thomaslangdon1436]

snoway front mount plows have down Pressure

[@buffalostate1]

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.

[@MTSTEEL1]

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.

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]

Hey thanks Garrett!

[@jonsanger8302]

That stainless steel plow is way to light I watched you push into that pile and it jumped up...By Fisher plow V

[@jonsanger8302]

@@Dirtmonkey that plow jumps up on the littlest piles seems too light ...you need a Fisher mm2 Vplow there the best out there been running them 25 plus years (Fisher snow plows ) built tough in Maine

[@johnhunter273]

Really enjoy your reviews!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you John!

[@bigbillings93]

mzwicker79 you plow commercially? You can just tell there junk my looking at the quality you get what you pay for

@@mzwicker79 what do you plow? A few driveway's. Ahh that's what me thought

Kick ass. Just bought a brand new snow dogg VXII. Probably will get a back plow soon.

Awesome Zachary!

[@holdenbyess8181]

I've been looking into purchasing a front and rear plow for myself, I absolutely love these videos! Great details and opinions, very informative in my opinion!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Glad to hear it Holden, thank you!

[@brettvanderhoof496]

I don't comment on much but I'm into metal so I'll tell you your stainless if it starts to rust no matter if you cut into it or not if it rust it's because it's a lower grade stainless. Like a let's say 413 stainless will rust like that where as 304 will not. So that's why that will corrode I plow very heavy duty. For years I was a sub with my own truck always had to have a western I'm extremely experienced I make just as much plowing for a buddy of mine with his equipment all top of the line stuff. We do hospitals in northern jersey I'm the first one out last one in every storm and I usually run the machines and supervise sometimes a truck but I see all and western is by far your best plow. Now the cutting edges do ware faster like I said before I'm a welder metal urgent so I've been thinking about maybe hard facing a new cutting edge and seeing how it performs. Btw love your channel

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for sharing Brett and really happy that you like the channel!

[@rugger8787]

you still like that doge can you tell a power difference

[@Dirtmonkey]

HUGE power difference. Ram for the win on that one

[@jakeorfan727]

The reason the boss fails when pushing into the large heavy wet piles is because they dont use double acting locking pistons. Which means the boss uses pressure to push out and relys on springs to pull back the western snowdogg and fisher use hydrualic pressure in each direction.

[@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

[@donavanshomes]

Thank for reviews Boss does have downforce front plow. I now run a Boss HTX straight plow on 1/2 ton Chev it has downforce it now after 5 years running the Snowdogg MD75. I love the downforce it is a game changer for me. Short of having a rear mounted plow it does a great job back dragging driveways and next to buildings

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thank you for watching !

I find western plow are the best prove me wrong

[@buckhorncortez]

No...you made the claim, you prove you're right.

[@chevyon37s]

Andrew Delashaw Steven crowder did a political video series called “prove me wrong” people want to emulate that.

[@tyrrellroach5872]

So u commented about the headlights but I believe western has a new LED head light on there plows. And one other thing about the western that I really appreciate you can remove the plow hook up pockets where most the other plows have a low hanging attachment bar and if you are driving off the pavement being able to remove those mounts is kinda a big benefit

[@CMNTMXR57]

Or so they don't get stolen. First thing the dealer mentioned to me. Remove them when you don't need them, they might go "missing".

[@gc439]

You are incorrect when you say you will never get down pressure with a front plow, BOSS now offers the 'D-FORCE' option

[@motorcityracing7319]

Snowway also offer this

[@charlesbourgeois9029]

Yes they do!!

[@strykerv1620]

Stan.... brian has a video with a rear view camera that plugs into his stock ford rear view cord. Maybe you could buy 1 and mount it oh the corner or bed so you can see back blade and backing up to garages?

[@Dirtmonkey]

Great idea, thanks !

[@kwmiked]

I'm surprised with that Sno Power u dont get pulled over, I thought anything over 8'6 wide u needed oversize load signs on truck and strobes at all times. It's that way with commercial vehicles here

[@xenonram]

It's not too wide when the wings are folded. The overall width when they're folded is 8'. You're only going to have the wings out when plowing, and that's when you're in a parking lot or development. Either way, a cop isn't going to pull you over when you're plowing.

[@christopherbrady3007]

Andrew Delashaw you can be stoped anytime you do anything wrong. Plow on truck does not prevent you being pulled over and ticketed. I have been stopped many times driving between accounts. Good question kwmike-D.

[@kwmiked]

@@douganderson7002 true! I do know if u go down a tight road and your plow clips side of a car, your getting the ticket cause u are wider then the car. Its amazing how dumb people really are, or they just love to hear themselves type stupid stuff

[@christopherbrady3007]

Doug Anderson got you now buddy sorry for being so obtuse I love donuts

[@alanack67]

You do realize that trucks have plows much wider than 8'

Learned on a western plow with a toggle switch and loved it. I was 16 and we got a new truck that year. A 98 GMC Sierra 2500 w/350 ci. When i worked in maintenance we used a meyer plow similar in setup to your western plow. It was ok. That snowdog is awesome. 😊
