Noticed you have some snow sticking to your blade. I coat mine with WD 40 silicon spray. Find it helps with the sticking and lasts a pretty long time. As always nice video👍🏽
Thanks man! It was a little sticky, I will have to try that... I actually have some in the shed👍
put a flat iron pull plow on the back of your truck .depending on size two to three setts of the pull plow youre done
✌🏻
I'm in MN - Fun to see these videos. I will be doing Plowing for the first time with year. I already purchased my Boss plow, but I need to get it setup on my 2020 F350. I sure hope I can learn this! lol
Nice! It is one hell of a job to have.... There is ups and downs in plowing, but after awhile, you just love it and you can't really explain why...LOL. I have been plowing for 14 years now, love every minute of it! Good luck this year and take your time. Rushing in a snow storm is what causes problems. And have fun! ✌
@@TheChristianHardscaper thanks for the advice I appreciate it. I have to admit I’m a little nervous being I have never done it and using a $70k truck lol
New friend here by the way. Feel free to check me out if you get the chance
How did you do your first season? I am going to be starting my first season.
@@kenc.9067First season for me was 2 years ago and last year I didn’t plow due to work stuff in another state…but the first year, I was struggling to get the snow to stay clean and constantly having to go back. Last week was the first snow of the year for me, and I did an okayish job, yknow, tossing the snow and keeping clean, just now I got learn how to spread it when not in a pile. I got a control and since I’m 20 and still play video games I don’t have to constantly look down at the remote like my dad…just be safe, wear your seatbelt, emergency lights if on street, and be aware of your surroundings, you’ll be golden, practice makes perfect, start with driveways, then move on to alleys, then to lots.
I really wish you didn't know what slow motion was lol
You can’t please everyone in this world, and they always let you know when you don’t…. 🤷🏼♂️
This comment made me laugh alot
I hard wax my blade every 3 or 4 jobs. Drill with a brush to wax on. Make it slicker than cow snot and the snow flies off the blade.
That is a good move and I'm sure it is nice not having snow stuck to the blade.... I do have a clear (non stick) epoxy covering the paint job I did which seems to be doing pretty good. I think I need to put a fresh coat on it though. ✌
Looks like a 24 to 30 ft driveway..
If its just a push - 50 to 65 is okay...
If you cleared the garage and walk first now your looking at 95 up to the first 4 inches...
You are correct. $50 is basically the minimum charge for just plowing the driveway. Any shoveling or salting are additional charges.
Just picked up a 8ft boss straight blade for 2600 bucks. End of season deal. Basically brand new with the heated headlights. Im already excited for next season 🤣. Even tho ours in Michigan just ended
Congratulations man, very good deal 👍🏻 the heated headlights will probably be awesome! I love plowing and always look forward to plowing season …
@@TheChristianHardscaper thanks! Any tips on how to get more accounts? Plow any commercial lots?
I do just residential this year, I have done commercial in the past but I really enjoy residential. As far as getting more accounts, just spread the word the best way you can, do a good job and your customers will recommend you. This type of work is mostly word of mouth advertising. People like to hire contractors that have worked for people they know who were happy with the service. So just keep quality as the main goal and you will be fine 👍🏻
sorry i meant a short iron pull be hind plow
Someday it might happen brother, not ready for that investment yet but I agree on how efficient they are.👍✌
Nice video man! Maybe one more storm for us this year who knows?! I think I saw you plowing a driveway in Sutton on Boston road last storm the grey house
Thanks, I am hoping for at least 1 more.... And you most certainly did, I have one driveway over there👍
Do you use this same plow pattern when doing single car driveways? Starting my first LLC and want to do plowing as one of my services. From MN but now in rural AZ.. we get lower temps and more snowfall in AZ! Who knew!?
I feel like every driveway is very different. Plowing driveways is all about finding the right pattern for each driveway. It just takes trial and error sometimes. The more times you plow a driveway, the better you will get. That is pretty funny about more snow in AZ 🤣🤣
$20 would be just fine that's 400.00 an hr or more
You would never make money for that price unless you have them all lined up right next to each other. You need to factor in drive time, gas, truck repairs, etc... Plus if you are lucky, you only get 2-4 storms a month. $50.00 per visit for a minimum is the going rate for snow plowing.
$50/push???? I was thinkin maybe $20. Why $50? Thisll be my first yr, i dont wanna mess up the game lol
Dude....charge what you're worth! Stop bringing the market down.
@@Ben-bp8ob “i dont wanna mess up the game” is my entire purpose of the comment. I made it clear its my first year, how am I supposed to know my worth just yet bro. It woulda helped if u simply wouldve “well its your first year, start at $35 or base your prices on the city youre in, I know $50 may be too steep”
Touché! My bad brother, that was in bad taste. Figure out your expenses, operating costs, and what you want to profit and charge that. We offer pay per plow (tiered based on inches received), and monthly. Monthly is generally 5x the pay per plow price but depends on where you live. Let me know if you ever have any questions.@@trevey16
Hey man, that price is basically the minimum charge per visit here in Massachusetts. It may vary depending on where you live but here, $50 minimum per visit is what you need to charge to make it worth your effort. If you can afford to charge a little less so you can get a client list, go for it, just dont sell yourself to cheap, I would never go to someone's house for $20.... Good luck man! ✌
@@TheChristianHardscaper appreciate the response. This is what I needed so I can learn. Im from Chicago and we do get alotta snow but I have to find out whats typical for a push out here.
stop using slowmo camera's, it isn't helpful or cool.
*That made it easy enough. Heap it into a pile, shove the pile out of the way. Plow spots head on and into a pile where applicable; drag when necessary.*
I will be doing it with a 4 wheeler, but it seems to apply. I don't have a lot of space to do anyway.
Same concept for a four wheeler without a doubt. Always focus on the bulk 1st, then clean up the small snow trails after. ✌
