Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
@@Dirtmonkey anyone who throws a birthday party like andrew camarata does levi and cody his golden labs is tops in my book stan i love your channel as well I also learn a ton and it's just great content God bless you and yours
I love Andrews videos.....until he goes on a rant about how cars are built. It's not the cars it's the salt. Im in Colorado, our trucks don't break in half
I agree with you however it's equally important for the employees to main a healthy lifestyle which makes for better safe for working conditions. Couldn't stand when people would come in hungover or not show up from a weekend of partying
Stan I gotta say you are seriously a good dude. Especially seeing how you just move forward with positivity even after that accident it wasn't even a blip on your radar. Your guy looked like he had already beat himself up about it and I think you saw it too and instead of beating him up more you lightened the mood with some jokes and let him know that no one got hurt and a plow can be fixed no biggie. Showing that type of respect and kindness to your guys will pay dividends in return and I'm sure it already has.
Andy is unreal!! I've never seen him quit, him being sick at the moment with Cancer and his drive to not get by but he thrives. He really motivates me when i get down on myself, he's a good moral booster.
Favorite Matt's Off Road Recovery. I have been plowing accounts in the metro area since 97 and this one was definitely different, worst was about 15yrs or so ago spent 92hrs in cab in a 4 day period.
....until you forget the pile has thawed and re-froze 3 times. Then it’s more of a “dam I hope nobody was watching” moment. Then big boom is more of a violent crash.
Switching it up on long nights is an outstanding idea and makes it a lot safer for everybody! As far as I'm concerned you're doing everything as professional as possible and that ads integrity to your character
@@Dirtmonkey yea they do and it’s cool you see that. Also you actually work too. I was with a company that would have brand new plows on their truck and never leave the house during storms. They wouldn’t even put them on or take them off themselves, always having someone else do it every storm. It was VERY rare they would plow even a small driveway but when they did would have a crew go there too just to shovel the doorways. Literally 3 year old cutting edges with the shipping label or whatever still on it.
very educational. I grew up in New York, so as a kid, saw a few road plows. Living in OK now, don't see many off road plows. They still used road graders in county areas a few years ago. The back plow is new to me. Enjoyed the vid, especially the outdoor time lapses.
I like your lawn mower review videos but I also like Andrew’s fixing videos and how he explains things in great detail like you with lawn mowers! I also like how u react to your own humor which is hilarious.!
That was an interesting night. Plowed all night long here in Pittsburgh. Got home at 10:30 am Christmas morning. Kids open gifts took a nap and was back at it that night.
Love watching the videos. I am super envious of the crew you have seems like a good group of four guys. Have been doing lawn care and snowplowing for about five years now full time and finally am starting to get some good guys. Favorite two useful UA-cam channels would be yours and brians lawn maintenance. Thanks for all the info you share. I almost bought a snow dogg start of season. But went with western wideout xl. So far supper pumped. Works well at our bigger commercials and great at residential accounts. .
That’s a drift plow!!! Those were created in Missouri by one of our MODOT engineers!!! I have seen those in action a bunch they are amazing. That trailer has steering axles it’s really cool to see them turn it from behind to the side!
WOW, What a mess of snow, Stan. If anyone knows about plowing, it's you. Don't really have any favorites on channels, besides my own, but you are in my top ten tier of favorites. Stay safe, my friend. Cheers!
Hey Stan. I own a snowdogg plow aswell in my 2019 ram. They say that you cannot have the lights in the ram set to "Automatic". You instead have to turn the dial lights on manually for them not to flicker. I don't know what the issue is with ram's wiring, but that is what they told me. My plow headlights will flicker if switched onto automatic.
i watch andrew everytime. can learn so much from him.. i recently purchased 9'6" meyer stainrless and will never go back.. also rubber cutting edge on my ranger for my rental houses and gravel
I think my favorite is Ron Pratt. His parents own a truck repair shop and wrecker business. He operates a 50 ton rotator wrecker primarily. He is very educational and entertaining. But the most important thing he is a out spoken christian and all his vids are completely child friendly. Ive been watching stuff at moms just for a break from my nieces but they want to watch with their uncle. I dont have to worry with the little ears present.
A little bit of grease at the end of the connector is fine. Too much creates bad connections especially if it gets dirty because it's pushing the pins on the male end out. Always good to clean them out once in a while and re-grease. Works for me.
Thats the issue with loaders they were never designed for snow and even with snow tires they still aint that great a tractor with ag tires will out push a loader personally watched a 130hp Massey out push a volvo l90 but also the small loaders with just high and low suck for plowing you can't ever get enough speed to push a big pile when it happens also the pros of a full size machine the weight and I think you should get a 12 foot for that size loader no way it should have a 17 youre cutting into its performance have arctic bring one out and and time doing half the parking lot with one blade vs one the one that's to big for that machine be an interesting video
@@Dirtmonkeyput one of the skids sectionals on it next time make one pass down a lot and see how far it'll go without spinning then put the 17ft on and see how far in the same lot but I have a feeling you're gonna end up wanting a 12 or 14 for the sdlg probably could trade it in towards smaller
I forgot that the mini one has the same quick coupler as skids I use to run one a little bit wasnt really impressed with it but was better than the wacker neuson ones we would always use they just never curled up enough so you would spill material everywhere lol
Get a real snow plow and go with Fisher you'll eventually want all of them to be Fisher, boss sucks and hinikers are decent though but fisher always just plug and go and easiest mounting up system
@@stephenfarynaz7229 their entire trip design is garbage compared to cutting edge trip and also just alot more cheap thing guage steel and have wire issues not to bad like others but certainly not like fisher if you know you know
Best plow is the Fisher XLS especially now that the blade extends to 11 1/2 feet fully extended. Our fleet has about 6 of them now and we get them for every new truck every year.
When you asked Siri for the windchill my phone answered your question! Haha great video. I did this work as a laborer n college and really appreciate what you do!
I had a similar tractor issue on a 2wd industrial farm tractor with ag style tires . I bought a tire Groover / siper and worked on my tires by adding more grooves and a lot of sipes. I can push incredible amounts of snow now without needing the old school tire chains.
Ran the hinder scoop 9.5 ft hands down best plow i ever had. It holds so much more snow than a v blade in full scoop mode. Only issue i ever had was a 20 plus inch snow on the first pass it pushed hard on the first pass. But no complaints.
Stan, %100 agree with the snow dog plows, if had mine since 2015, electrical issues in the second year 3rd, 4th, What we’ve done and has seemed to help is replace the entire harness, wrap electrical tape & Plastic around the controller connection on the inside of the cab, the harness connections on the exterior we grease, ziploc (with the small holes in an X formation for each plug, and electric tape it sealed shut. So far last year and this year, it’s been mint. We prefer our fisher plows though, V blade and extendable Good luck! Eh.
We got 9 inches here in Saint Michael. The wind made everything horrible...along with the rain before hand. It was horrible here from about 10am until the next day. Was a full on blizzard the entire time. Was one for the books I'd say.
WE are running "wolf paws" on our skid-steers...make a big difference....most of our sites are high-traffic places like gas stations and small malls...gets packed down before we can get there...big snowfalls here means 10hrs in the machine..3hrs nap and back at it for 3 days...takes another 3 days for the body to recover...I'm an old plumber doing this for 30+yrs.
Here in Massachusetts we run a lot of Fisher brand plows. Only issue I’ve ever had is if your using them for plowing streets for cities/town the halogen lights blow apart. Up side is a little electrical tape and your on the road again never any other issues
I had a Boss v plow on my old ram truck and now I have a fisher v plow on my new ram . I like the fisher plow over the Boss plow. 40 inches of snow on December 17, 2020 in central New York. Was glad to the fisher plow and the Cummins diesel that day.
One of my least favorite snow storms was that storm. Rain turned to snow leaving lots soupy before temps dropped. Fallowed by another storm a day later that was snow turned to rain so back to back soupy snow storms.
What i have found out in my 20 years of snow plowing most electrical issues i have had are grounding issues!!!!! Put on an extra grounding cables from the plow to the truck. That is why I never went to the easy hook plows. I'm still running an original Boss RT1 with the pump under the hood and an old fisher from 1980's . I plow small lots and they still work fine!!!!
Nice to see you check out the guys at the truck, aaand, when the showel comes to use, I think that a showel is a honest tool, it never gets too old, it is a tool we probably will be using in millenias forward :)
You're third or fourth favorite for me, A.C. and SV Seeker come to mind but of course my channel has to be my favorite 🤣. If you have not replaced your plow yet take a look at the Western Wide out, ran one last winter up in Duluth, no big issues at all, thing is perfect for doing big lots. In fact the only issue I had was a bad O ring on one of the hoses. One of my friends is running it this year and says it is much better than the v plow he ran last year.

That's my favorite part of plowing is the big boom when you hit the snow piles
That is really fun.
....until you forget the pile has thawed and re-froze 3 times. Then it’s more of a “dam I hope nobody was watching” moment. Then big boom is more of a violent crash.

In fact the only issue I had was a bad O ring on one of the hoses. One of my friends is running it this year and says it is much better than the v plow he ran last year.
Your videos are very educational and entertaining and you choose good tunes to listen to while watching.
Thank you
