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.
Im from Ri also just got a fisher
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.
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!
Thanks Nick!
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
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!!
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. 😊
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.
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!
Glad to hear it Holden, thank you!
I plowed in Canada for many years and we had the Blizzard plows with the wings on 1 ton short bed trucks. We had tailgate sanders on the rear of the flatbeds and that setup worked really well. They are a really nice easy to use blade. Joy stick controls with 2 buttons to extend the wings. Never had problems with those blades.
Genuinely appreciate the amazing work you put in! Thank you Professor!
Aw that's awesome! Thanks Juan 😀
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.
this video is helpful and thanks to adding the skills needed note at the end... you guys make it look really easy
Glad to help out Will, thank you !
Those SnoPower rear blades are friggin awesome. Never saw them in action till you profiled them. Thanks Stanley. Liked your music too.
Hey thank you!
Amazing how much I have learned from your channel. Thank you very much from Duluth MN!
I have had a 7.5 snow dog on my 2011 ram1500 since 2012. Works great. Had a fisher 8ft on f350 before. Was too heavy. Beat me up.
Love the Dog for cost per value. But has not let me down. GREAT plow
Yes fisher is so heavy takes all the weight off the back if empty and back skids to easy dangerous
Fishers are solid been running my mm1 for around 7 years, was super used when I got it. On a 98 Chevy 👍 never heard of heneker!
Good Video, I used a couple different expanding back blades using a clutch pump system for the hydraulics one was called a geerlings and the other was B&B, both expanded 16 feet. The big thing on the back blades is the weight on 3/4 ton truck. I could say so much more, I love using the back blades, they make your plowing so much more efficient.
Nice comparison. I have been out of the industry for a few years and the pull blades are definitely interesting!
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!
Thank you Bryan!
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.
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!
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
Carson Schifsky do you like the poly one you got or would you go to a steel on ?
@@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.
@@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.
snoway front mount plows have down Pressure
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.
Thanks for the comments Mark
Great video. I slapped some led light bulbs in my Western and man what a difference! Those snoways are great! Wish I had one for my property
Thank you James!
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 !!
Thanks for the comments Kevin and thanks for watching !
Agreed, but he also has 16’ pull plows.
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
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.
Love fisher. I have 8 ft xblade straight with wings so I'm at 9ft 6 and I can wind row a full blade with no spillage. Love it man. 70 degree attack angle great scrapage and back dragging. On and off the truck in Less than 2 minutes. Love it! All I need now is some snow here in Mi. So I can get busy.
I’m sitting here in pensacola FL watching this and our coldest day this winter has been 36 lol. Never plowed before probably never will but love watching this kind of stuff.
Glad you are watching, thank you !
Really enjoy your reviews!
Thank you John!
No “C” in Fisher, bub! Love my Boss plow, over 15 years old, and have only gone through one solenoid and both electrical connectors, been on 5 different trucks so far, still going strong.
just got my first boss plow only because it came with the truck i purchased and despite it seeming to be a very nice plow im still bummed because the company i work for only uses fisher so if my plow breaks down for whatever reason i cant just swap it out on the fly.
I run the Boss EXT and absolutely love it. It stacks snow and carry’s larger piles better than a V plow in my experience.
The Boss drag pro may put more weight outback but on a 1 ton truck it doesn’t matter as much, and still allows you to have the spreader for salt and sand on the same truck.
Oh man when you hit that pile in reverse you gave me whiplash!
thanks Stanley for the review
Lol, thanks for watching !
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
Absolutely agree. North of Boston Ma. Two superduty with them V2 stainless. Built like Tanks just keep on going.
How’s the xls extending plows
In my company we use fisher, boss, and Curtis, pretty soon I want to upgrade the 1 curtis to the western and I hope to eventually get a couple back drop plows as well
Awesome Jacob, thanks for viewing !
love how you say, links will be in the bottom description and literally, there are no links lol. You do this CONSTANTLY
My 9”2 BOSS power v xt ya been perfect got it almost 6 years ago now never have done anything to it. Mostly residential but also have done full roads and parking lots and cutting edge held up great. My truck is a 12 F350 Supercab long bed dually with a utility box and the 6.7 handles it well. That setup has made me tons of money and wouldn’t change it for a thing.
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.
Appreciate the feedback Lance and thanks for watching !
I don't even plow snow and now I want to buy one after watching this video....
Awesome Jeff, thanks for viewing !
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
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!!!
Be safe too Craig and thank you!
Fisher makes great plows. I have the Fisher XV2, only dislike is how fast the plow moves.
Fast , increases plow time with makes more $ ?
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.
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.
Appreciate that Pedro, thank you !
Watched it all the way through and found it very interesting....got my little Snow Dogg MD80 last year for my 16 diesel Canyon and love it!
That's great, thanks for watching, glad you liked it !
@Grimm Day - i'm looking for a plow for my '16 diesel canyon. Are you happy with the MD80? Did you have to do any mods to your truck/suspension?
24:43 - SnowWay front plows have down-pressure. Great for back dragging.
Snow? We haven’t even got a snow event yet this season, what is this madness. Back to the video.. lol
How many times have u been salting this year? 2x is all my boss has gone out for salting. This should deff help salt prices next year cause we are going to have stockpiles of salt
We pulled the trigger on a new truck and plow expecting a good winter in Michigan, but it's the complete opposite. Bad timing I guess!
@@jsolemi3281 ya my buddy was all freaking out in October cause he got a bunch of new accounts for salting and he just went and spent 4g on a bed salter, used it 2x this season lol now he's all freaking out cause he's got 4g in a salter that's not making him money
I hear ya Brian I'm in South coast Massachusetts and nothing not 1 inch I spent over 8g getting ready and sitting home this sucks
David Moore I don’t salt, have a sub for that! He’s been out maybe 6-9x
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
Thank you for watching !
Fisher. It gives a Texas oilfield trash transplant great pleasure to watch yall work! Salute
Thanks for watching !
Well, from the contents it seems Fisher plows are the best.
Fishers definitely the best plow I've ever used!!!
I love me some Fisher plows
Fisher,Western, SnowEx are all Douglas Dynamics products
great video stan!! and it wasn’t too long you covered a lot and it was all very helpful.. thank you :)
Thank you !
Our Snow-way plow has down pressure! Would love to see review on Snow-way! Great video! Those snow powers our BEAST!
Looking to buy one also in MN. Whats your thoughts yrs later on it?
Fishers are awesome. We have had ours forever. I’m from Maine and fisher is all you see here.
And west of Pennsylvania all you see is Western. I can count on one hand, the number of Fisher's I see here in Chicago. It's 110% Western.
CMNTMXR57 90% fisher here then probably 8% boss. Barely ever see western or anything else
@@loganp7043 That is there, out here (midwest), it's the complete opposite.
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?
Thank you !
Here in Chicago, we don't see anything but Western and Boss...
when i started doing driveways i was told to never waste a move make them all count this is awesome with the pull plow.
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👍👍👊👊👊🤘🤘🤙🤙
Thank you Roy!
You should try a western wideout. I have ran them for a few years and I love them.
Thanks for the suggestion !
im in my second season with my wideout XL. i almost got a boss EXT until Chants daily hustle showed the struggles he had with his. zero issues in it's first year of production!!!
I love to watch about the plows, yet I live near Sacramento California and we never see snow.
Same here. I can't figure out why I keep watching these videos haha
David just go East up the hill a little ways. I've chained going over Donner in 18 Wheeler more times than I care to count. However since 2009 I haven't did it as that was my last trips over. Had back surgery in late 2009 went back to work 3 mo later driving truck @ same job and after a month found out I had a spinal fluid leak.
Leak was bad enough I haven't driven since early 2010 and coupled with them trying to fix it, still having a leak a month later which Dr Vehemently denied I had but MRI proved him wrong, bacterial meningitis for 3 mo with a 3 week hospital stay @ beginning of infection, after infection went out of state to have a Dr worthy enough to fix the leak but come to find out that after them plying me with oxycodone, oxycontin for 3 mo straight and after the leak got fixed the new Dr got me off the meds but the nerve damage was done already sealing my fate.
Loved what I use to do but now I sit staring @ 4 walls in basement as haven't worked since 37 yrs old. Been on disability since then.
Love watching these videos and when it snows I go watch guys like these here in South Dakota plowing late at night to kill time.
Thanks for watching!!
I am an exterminator and almost everyday I see retaining walls in a state of failure. Um thanks
@@davidparsons9167 Retaining wall? Didn't get that one. I mentioned I stare at the 4 walls in the basement because I sit home with nothing to do. Basement is finished though. Lol...
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.
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.
Now a new subscriber! I liked the video covered a lot of good points on all brands! Thanks man!
Glad to have you here, thank you !
Fisher all day here in New England
I'm in Rehoboth ma love my fishers taken a serious beating
Also from Mass just North Boston love my Fisher V2 stainless 👍
My plow has never broken .... now about those gm front axle shafts......those I've broken....a few times lol
Jesse Dias Don’t know how you feel about some advice about that lol. I’ve had Chevy Hd and GMC and gave up on them. Been Ford Superduty last two pickups and absolutely love them. Gasser also dont need the diesels,ain’t towing any serious loads,so the Boss 6.2 V8 has plenty of go for plowing and whatever else u might need. Just my two cents don’t be mad at me lol👍
@@joev3754 you can't find a decent used super duty around here espically single cabs they are just beat to death I wanna buy a brand new 6.7 f550 dump with a l-pack work box my neighbor bought one what a beauty of a truck
24:39 - False. Sno-way plows come with down-pressure. Mine was amazing. Leaps and bound better than my old Meyer plow. Front down pressure and a fantastic controller.
Agreed 29r for the win and the controller is so amazing
Do you guys still have? Looking to buy one soon here
@@erikdale9145 No, I sold my plows years ago and outsources the work (we used to manage snow & ice in-house).
If I were looking to get back into it, I would definitely look at the SNO-WAYs.
@@theotherotherdan awesome thanks so much for the info. I have a farm and need to keep lots clear. The ATV is great but we mived to a bigger farm so I'll need a plow here in MN soon enough but its 100⁰ today lol i usually buy plows on hottest days if the year!
I appreciate the information. Did a great job. Also new to your channel. Love it. 👍
I love the information you give in your videos. I've been watching for solid year now and before that off and on. I knew you were in MN. But I didn't realize how close. Your company is only a hour drive.
I have a straight Western plow and I love it but I still need to make some modifications to fit my liking a little more.
Really appreciate the support Tyler and thanks for watching !
I think the Dodge is the better truck for pushing snow and in the area we're in Toronto Canada we don't have a truck around here with a pull plow on it and not a dealer to sell them great video Stanley
Thank you James
I'm near Toronto.. just getting started plowing it has been hard to test equipment this year.. since we haven't gotten any snow :/
York Region equipment in Markham sells ebling back plows...
They're redundant. We use loaders amd skid steers that are going to sit all winter either way. They push more and lift more snow. But then again im up in muskoka and we get snow regularly
You guys plow one to two inches of snow... why. And all those rear mount plows do is create ice nightmares that bigger machines need to clean up
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
Thanks for the suggestion Drew!
Great information....thank you for you and your team's input!!
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
I will Jeff and thanks for the support!
Fisher is nubmer1 in atlantic canada hands down
not even sure there is a second place
i dunno, i see them all here. i have a snowdog, but there’s boss, western, arctic, and meyers...
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
Fisher in New Brunswick 75% of the time
Fisher is cheap lol
I don't know why I'm watching this when I live in Texas but I just got a lot of new information
Glad you watched, thank you !
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
i really enjoyed it i don't do snow removal with my silverado but it is still very informative the pros n cons were great 2 thumbs up
Thank you Nick !
Definitely stayed till the end
Appreciate that Dan !
Maters diamond snow plows
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.
aren’t you a debbie downer.
no just stating the obvious and a non sponsored view. Lets be real here.People watch these for advice and truth.
I don't want you for a customer sir.
Would you talk a little about the points you mentioned? I’m a university student considering the snow clearing biz as a way to pay my way through school, and would really like to hear whatever you’d like to share about your experience, and thoughts. Hope to hear from you
Those are nice snow plow I used to plow snow about 30 years ago I use Meyer snowplow
Fisher V2 stainless. Absolutely love them on my second and run them 8-10 years .
The music is making this hard to watch.
What is your favorite tire for pushing snow?
your video editor does a great job i love some of the effects in the videos
Thanks !
For you're cutting edges, hard surfacing welding rod can be laid down then ground . Easily doubles the contact surface life and can be redone as needed.
Go get yourself a Fisher XV2, the minute mount system is unbeatable!
Just like a western lol
@@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.
If I want to listen to music I would turn on a radio. I would like to hear the information on the snow plows.
Had a Meyer few years ago. I have been thinking on a different set up for my f250 Super Duty with the v10. I appreciate the detail on the break down of different set up.
That’s nice. Keep the led warm and it says bright. When their cold not as great. Happy medium
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
How long has this been a thing? My boss doesnt have it. And I bought it 3 months ago
Its all about how the relief is set. It can be adjusted.
On my 30th year of plowing, Fischer’s win
Can you go into details as why?
Fisher is how is spelled cap.
Just got the boss drag pro installed on my truck, getting ready to use it for the snow coming Saturday.
I love the Sno-Power back plows. I’ve actually talked to Brycen from sno power several times. The problem is that this winter north jersey hasn’t seen more than 1 snowfall so far. So for me to make that kind of investment for next season is tough to justify. However I plow 3 LARGE high end apartment complexes. So the plow would be a huge asset and time saver......when it does actually snow... right now I have Pile Driver plow wings on my 8’ western pro plow. It’s effective for what it is but nearly as effective as having a pull blade.
I thought people were overreacting about the music, then 13:40 kicked in. Music with lyrics is a HUGE no-no.
Ana and elsia
Fisher v plow #1 .
Faster, heavy duty , lifts higher.
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!!!
Great video and info and plow systems.
I have been plowing snow for 20years and there is no plow better then Fisher plows
Great to hear, I've been making V-plows for a few years now. That and my Dad has been making Fisher plows for nearly 40 years
I also have been plowing for over 20 years and totally agree with you Fisher all the way
I think they invented the snowplow!
I would also agree 100 percent Fisher plows are by far the best always had straight blades now on my new truck i got the Fisher extreme V2 stainless steel on my F 350 thanks Rocco
The Fisher XLS imo is awesome
Boss Power V DXT SS all the way!!!
I have 6 of the fisher vee-plow you showed never one problem since 2011 . I have old style fisher from 01-05 still running never replaced one pump or motor.
Enjoyed the video ! It wasn't to long
I think as it covered a lot very informative. Thanks for sharing.......
No problem Ralph, thanks for watching !
Music playing over the commentary? Not super keen on that. Great video though, crammed in a lot of good info.
Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked the video!
Snowdogg mounts on the truck look really low to the ground.
Meadow View Lawn Care LLC
My Snowdogg mount is about 8” off the ground on a 2018 F250
Mine also 8"- 9" off the ground 2015 GMC 2500
Thank you for the honest comparison. Have only run old time Meyers with joy stick
Meyers is bringing up the rear
No such thing as a video being to long 😎. Learned alot more about plows then I did before. When people say all plows are the same I'm having them watch this video!
Thanks for the support!
Pro tip: Don't have music playing while we are trying to listen to you talk.
Or apply compression to soften the music while speaking
I didn't notice the music till I saw the comment lol
Dammit I can’t listen now
You have to get a fisher
honestly cannot believe he has not had one yet. Super strong compared to those toys he has been running.
@@Gantzz321 do you realize that western and fisher are owned by the same company
@@charliedirks4399 I love that no one had said that, haha, western bought them awhile ago....
@@402outdoorzx5 Douglas Dynamics bought them, as well as many other companies. That's their marketing strategy, build the same plow, paint a different color, add different decals and sell to morons who think ones better than the other
@@keegancb84 For your information there are many differences between Western and Fisher plows even though Douglas Dynamics own both of them. Some plow models they share are identical, some models they share are close but have subtle differences and some models are totally different from each other and strictly sold by western or strictly sold by fisher.
In another year or so I recommend you go with a fisher XV2 9' 6" plow. We own two 9'6" and one 8' 6". The xv2 in general is hands down one if not the best v plows out there. Fisher are about the same in damage when signing your life away when going to buy one.
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
You're welcome, thanks for watching !
