    Light snow makes it look quick and easy. A lot of people don’t understand that when there is a storm of 10” plus, you have to change the way you plow. Won’t be back dragging all those driveways the way you did. Also by the end of the season there is no place to stack all the snow. Big time saver not having to shovel any of your customers. I shovel in front of garages and walk way when I plow. Takes extra time but keeps customers happy.

      True I'd back in plow out in those cases then backblade in front of the garage, turn around and push it out too.
      These nice big driveways on the country road would be a pleasure to plow.

    Its nice when the driveways are flat and wide like this. All of mine were the ones other plow drivers refused. 40 percent slope with corkscrew turns, narrow drives on steep grades, uneven tilt to the driveway. I did them all in the 80s. Smaller truck easier to maneuver. Now I have a big commercial truck and its only good for roads and parking lots. Small driveways would be very difficult.

    I have a 9 foot Boss V and do much the same thing but I NEVER drive over fresh snow, leaves hard packed tracks that over the winter builds up. .......You plow towards the garage and then pick the blade up and over the pile and drag it out to the street. In our community you do not leave piles at the street. Simply roll the snow up on the side of the street just like the city plow. My customers would not be happy if I piled snow at the end of the their driveway like this guy did. When I leave the job there are no piles, piles promote drifting and the US mail will not deliver if you pile snow at the mail box, much easier than the way this man did it. Can't believe he pushed the garbage can into the pile of snow. I do the gentleman thing and get out and move them.

    • @fitzsfixes
      @fitzsfixes  2 роки тому

      So what you're saying is you've never plowed before? I'm sorry, but everything you just said is wrong. Let me tell you why. Let's say you actually plowed forward first before going over the pile to backdrag. (1) I don't care how smooth the driveway is. You're going to leave tire tracks no matter what. (2) if you push towards the garage, what if that pile is over 2' tall? You plow doesn't go up higher, and you'll leave snow closer to the garage door. (3) the A frame on the plow, when lowered, will pack the snow down under it causing the blade not to be able to rest 100% on the driveway, causing residue left behind. (4) you can't take all the snow and windrow it down the street without getting some on the apron of the neighbors driveway. Also it's illegal to leave all the snow in the road. I think that's it for now. So nice try telling everyone you're an experienced plow driver.... you're just not. Sorry

    • @fitzsfixes
      @fitzsfixes  2 роки тому

      And 1 more thing. Who's to say I'm the first 1 to drive on the driveway during or after a fresh snowfall? You think customers are locked down till the driveway is cleared? I have no idea where your community is, but if they're that critical about a tire track or 2, you can keep them. In our area, people actually still drive while it's snowing! I know weird, right?

The least you could do is shovel away from the garage doors. I had 2 people with me. They would jump out and clear the front of the garage doors and then do the sidewalks. Thorough job. Happy customers.

    i realized that you dont open up your driveways you just push right in and start pushing up your driveways. opening up to the sides where the driveway flares always gives it a cleaner look. and you drive over your snow way too much, if it were more wet and heavy snow the snow you drive over after you backdrag will never move. you also dont really take advantage of having a V plow and using the wings to your advantage. other than that thats a gorgeous route

  • @429thunderjet2
    @429thunderjet2 3 роки тому

    Why do you back drag w the plow in the scoop position? I put mine straight or slighly V so it acts like a scoop back dragging. I try to avoid pilling snow by the road and mailboxes. Also I always run a snow deflecter on the top edge of my plow, it helps keep the snow from blowing up on the windshield.

      Thanks! As far as pricing goes, it generally depends on where you live and how much snow you get annually. In outer area, we are just outside the snow belt. Which means our yearly snowfall is significantly lower then people 10mi south of us. In outer area I figure out what I need per plow. Then I multiply by 15. Because 15 is our average for plowable events. Then I use that as a contract price. Then you can decide whether or not you want to discount that price. Also, I have a 3" trigger. So plow guys to the south of us might have an average of 40 plowable events. Customers would go broke with the math I just showed. So they (from what some have told me) set the trigger higher. Maybe 5-6", and they keep it at a per time price.
      So you have a bunch of thung to take into consideration when budding properties. Good luck
      As for getting clients. I use our local paper to run my yearly ad for snow and landscaping. I also pay to have my ad in school calendars, restaurant menus, facebook, and a couple other outlets. But most of my traffic comes from word of mouth. Let me know if you have any other questions

      It's fantastic! The height of the blade and the curl make it easier to plow faster without snow dust. Also the fact that I can control the blade left and right like a straight blade makes it faster to adjust. It's stacks like crazy! So far I like everything about it. I don't think I'd change anything.

    Good video. I don’t agree with peoples comments about stepping on the snow as you back drag but I will say that not getting out of the truck to do in front of the garage doors would not fly around here. Same for leaving trails in the driveway. I would be getting callbacks constantly.

I made that comment on a web page with an embedded video of someone plowing with a tiny little plow attached to the trailer hitch on a Subaru outback. There's not much snow in this video but with a v-plow it's not like you're going to have any trouble stacking it if you needed to. A 4"tall plow that raises an inch off the ground on the back of a car I will remain skeptical of though.

Talk to your plow man before hand and im sure your requests will be meet to the best of their abilities..Show some love to your plow man...
