Dude...love the truck and love the plow. I run 2 - 8' 6" of the same plow. One has the 12" wings on it. You plow and use your blade just like I would in a driveway like that. I would only offer to you that, when dropping your plow to backdrag away from from the structure...give it a few wiggles left and right to settle the blade to the surface as you reverse. It helps to keep the blade from lifting.
@@NEILSWORLD When I get those heavy drifts by garage doors I drop the plow and wiggle my way to surface and then reverse scoop just past straight and keep wiggling the controller as I back out with the snow. Give it a shot. Your plow is a couple hundred pounds heavier than mine so back dragging is a little easier.
Lol, left thumb does the plow operation on an eight button controller and right first finger usually hits the shifter by reaching through the wheel. The end of my finger was sore after the first day of plowing.😆
Love that set up. I was wondering why you were pushing snow that you were then going to backdrag and then I saw your explanation on the screen. Good tip!
Nice lift before decimating the fence! ;-) That machine has a lot of inertia, I’d imagine you are planning the forward motion out while still in reverse. ;-)
Love it! May I ask how much you paid for that truck and where you got it? How much for fixing it up if needed and how much for plow? Was plow mount custom, or made for that truck by factory?
I paid about $8,000 for the truck at government auction. Then there are fees and delivery. It's a gamble at the auction what you're going to get and how much needs to be repaired. This truck did not engage in reverse. I have countless hours of time invested as I have done all the work to it myself including the custom snow plow mount. Check out fmtvsales.com he goes through the mechanically and offers a six-month warranty.
GF said regular speed filming preferred : ) Slo-mo good too. High speed, not so much. lol This a really a nice machine. Glad it is working out well. Did you make a custom attachment?
NEILVVT ok we were looking for different ways to secure our tanks down.. we have gas caddes but then you gotta drill the flatbed and then it rusts ... thanks
I just want to say, I've thoroughly enjoyed this project of yours.
Thanks, I have as well 😀

Good idea, sometimes I just drop it and go ahead just a little bit to get it down there.👍

I also adjust my plow so they drop really fast. I don't like waiting for them to go down.
I can just imagine the pushbutton games going on in that cab. The truck really gets it done

Great job scraping that up and taking the time to not pack it down.
Unique setup!
Thanks!
Nice truck! That’s how I backdraft also.
Can’t use chains here, must be awesome!
Thanks 😃
Chains make all the difference.

Yeah, if you pack down that wet snow back dragging will not scrape it up.
Cool video. I’ve always wanted to pickup a military truck.
Go for it 😁👍
Would like to see a walk around video of this truck set up!!!
That is something I've been thinking about doing.

You bet, When backing up you need to get it positioned properly so the forward line will be correct.
Fischer makes a nice plow. Would be nice of they added down pressure, that's what I like about my snow ex plows.
I have never felt the need for down pressure.
I can't tell if you have chains on.
I just bought an M1079 to take to Montana. Going to put a plow on it.
Great video
No chains this time.
Bravo 👏
Are you in mode? You got some awesome front wheel spin in this video...
Oh yeah baby mode is on!!
That's a concrete driveway that had a little ice down there under all the snow.
Love it!

I'm just trying to speed up the boring stuff for her lol.
Yes, I made the plow mount for the truck.
Do you have your fule tanks strapped down?
Yes sir, there is a ratchet strap holding them down 😁

@@jgoings13 this bed has many tie-downs built into it, very handy.
@@NEILSWORLD I believe that is called a "Strap on" ROFL. Kidding...
Amazing vehicle. That’s not wet snow puffing around your plow and thru the fence tho. But the truck looks like it would handle it
You must not live where it snows. Dry snow does not clump up in balls like that. Glad you liked the video. 👍
Thats how its done
Yes!!
Neil - I may have to stop watching your channel until Spring 2021. Your videos are making me cold. ;-p
