A NEW Boss back plow

- Boss has a new back plow. They now have 2 models-a heavy duty model designed for Commercial work -the other for residential. We compare and contrast the 2 and then compare their NEWEST one to our sno-power back blades to show the differences side by side. We do the walk through with the engineers that designed the new snowplows.
A salesman will get you in the door, a good service department will bring you back!
YES! well said
Funny, I just watched the video from last year where the guy broke 88 sheer pins on his lol
I was going to say the exact same thing lol he was going in on it
Yeah, when the Boss employee said "some customers were breaking more shear pins than they would like".... I was pretty damn sure he saw that video, haha! And likely, getting a lot of irritated phone calls from lots of other operators, too. Good for you Boss, listening and making measurable improvements. Hopefully the problems on that lighter-duty model will be a thing of the past.
I was thinking the same lol
it's not the same plow. with that said this thing is hideous, the mount is ridiculous.
BOSS plows, made right here in the USA, and just a couple miles from here. Nice.
Very cool!
It doesn't look or sound like they made many changes at all in the Drag Pro. Considering the trouble your friend had last year I still wouldn't buy one.
@@lowercherty well a lot happens in a year it takes a couple days to make some better and stronger. Hopefully they could make a better back drag boss plow.
I think you can take a lot of credit for being the driving force for the engineers to go back to the table and re-work the design of this plow.
Im just glad they made this. Its like the Godzilla of Pull plows now
Stan, way to go again my man. I appreciate your honesty when speaking with the manufacturers, and truly admire you giving them kudos when they deserve it. You call it fair anytime you review a “big boy toy”. You embody the spirit of the hard working men and women who are dedicated to serving their client base and use these tools to accomplish that job. You are a role model to all young contractors and service people.
Right on- Thank you so much!!!!
Just started my own landscaping and snow removal company, your videos give me lots of inspiration
That is awesome!
The funny thing is that you have me super interested in the Boss back plow. But I live in Arizona and will never need one!!!! Keep up the great videos!!!
I love it!
So excited about this!! We bought 2, the first is getting put on tomorrow. I cannot wait to see it in action!!
I've run backblades for years in Michigan and love them, only thing is that I've been pulled over by the State DOT and local police for the rear license plate being obstructed from the back blade. I talked myself out of a ticket a few times. Keep up the great work Stan.
In Minnesota we have to have front and back license plates. Both mine are covered up-never had an issue . I guess its a case by case basis.
mount the plate on the back blade somewhere, it'll keep you out of trouble lol
What excites me the most is you went full mike Tyson on boss drag pro a year ago but now it's like you work for them 🤣🤣
Since Boss bought 'em up, thank goodness they appear to be embracing the best parts of Sno-Power (and improving on them, too) rather than just burying their designs.
I just mounted attachment for a backblade with a winch to lift it up and weight will allow for down motion. Running it for over 10 yrs with very little problem on 1/2 mile drive.
Ooooo it has a float option! Amazing, that's one big thing I wish our Snopowers had, alot of our lots, roads and houses we plow are hilly .
Thats handy
After TH-cam came back on I came to this video right away. Nice video Stan, keep em coming
Thanks, will do!
Wow they put some thought and design into that new back blade!
Awesome!
I think so too!
I spray Pam in the corners of my drag plow and it works great for keeping the snow from sticking
I'm from Massachusetts and I've never seen a pull plow being used anywhere near me, but this could be a game changer
I was just having this conversation with my wife the other day. We live near Worcester and I’ve never seen one of these around here.
I live in Minnesota and they aren't around here either. But we tried one a few years ago and could never plow without one now. Simply the best answer to truck plowing out there.
Hi,it's good for lighter snow most likely but I can't see plowing a 15 inch stormed with that because it would pile up to much under the frame.
Not many companies extensively test their own equipment. It's always the grunts that brings the issues to light. Good to hear BOSS actually listens to their customers.
Yes they do, of course they do.
Absolutely 100% most companies will test their own equipment, extensively.
The ones that don't would be the outliers not the ones that do.
You literally just made that up because that's your perception of things is that most companies don't test their products and it's absolutely not true.
Look at any companies expenses especially in this industry and you'll see with a quick search just how much money and time is devoted to testing.
Stan your reviews are the best. And to have the engineers in your review....what can I say.. GREAT JOB as usual
Stan is kind of the best salesman Boss could ask for. And since he ain't gettin' paid for his opinion, I trust it a lot more.
I Challenge Boss Snow Plows to Make a Salter that can be mounted on top of the Back Drag Pro 180Z.
Stan what would be cool with back drag pusher plows is if the center section could hydraulically angle left or right so that you could windrow either in reverse or forward one instance curb edges or long driveways
The wings create a Z pattern to do that same thing.
I've got one of those Monroe Plows at work things a beast. Heavy, scrapes really well.
Dude had a beautiful mullet
TH-cam’s workin now and ready to see this awesome video
Hope you enjoy it Zak!
@@Dirtmonkey loved the video as always and I’m ready to buy one of these and try it out for this winter
Those small unit's are perfect for Apartment Complexes where you do have a lot of sidewalks in between them for "dog" walks which go around ponds and such.
They look nimble
and easy to store in some storage closet too
Or plowing a sidewalk that goes through a gate
Super pumped for this. I can’t wait to see how it works out this year
hello, This is corrine. We can provide carbide cutiing edge to you, do you have interesting? we can provide free sample to you to test the quality firstly. I am looking forward to your reply.
I bet Stan you can't wait until it snow to test it out
We did get to test it just the other day- that vid is coming soon
I enjoy these videos. Here in Idaho everyone has a boss I see why now.
Glad you enjoy the content. Thanks!
If you have a lot of sidewalks service then the BOSS Snowrator is a really nice tool to have!
Wow, nice build. Can hardly wait to see this jewel in some snow action. Think you're going to get your money's worth with this blade. I'm looking forward to seeing it put to the "Stanley test". All the best to you and the guys. Cheers!
That's the plan!
Looks all good with new shiny paint but how it really works will be in the battles ahead this winter. The wing cylinders seemed too low to me, but I could be wrong. Ice has a way of really packing in sometimes.
Yes it does- We did test it out last night. Plowing Wet cement style snow- Vid coming soon
Very interesting. Thanks for making another video on it. Living up here in Montana we probably won’t see one at our dealers until next season. You went super quickly over the connection and disconnection of the plow. Would love to see the connection points a little better on just the plow without the 5th wheel part. Was hard to see how they changed the mounting on the plow or if it was identical. Also would love to see how and where the pins are connecting compared to the original sno power. (The main pins that connect the plow to the 5th wheel frame) a view from the back side showing it would be awesome to see the differences in design. Great video 👍 always love seeing you guys giving your personal no BS opinion and always a trustworthy source with the years behind you and time and abuse you guys put your equipment through.
They connect almost identical to sno-powers. Just the frame changed as they beefed it up.
@@Dirtmonkey Thanks 👍 I chatted with Brycen about it. Keep up the great work.
Out of all the pull plows witch one is your favorite I trust you more than the sales person . Thanks for all your great info.
Great vid
Thank you!!
@@Dirtmonkey well i can't watch it bjt i love all ur videos are the yt servers down i cant watching vid rn i restarted my tablet and I ant get it does anything work for u or is it on my end
Nice piece of equipment
Very cool!
Bring on the snow!
YES!
You are extremely trusting to leave all your equipment out there. I would be so worried about someone stealing it or damaging it
We have 6 of those snowrators at my work we love them
Nice!
They should add a sensor/switch which illuminates a light (or possibly existing turn signal indicators) when either of the wings is not in the fully folded / box plow configuration as a warning If they are extended while driving down the road.
It would also be cool to add some LED whip antennas similar to those used on sand rails so that the cutting edge would be extremely visible in your mirrors.
I'd also add a camera mounted above the power unit enclosure so you can see how close you are getting to an object when backing up to it. And if made to swivel, it could also be useful in aligning the fifth rail when attaching.
Been following you forever Stan! Thanks for the content!
Legend! Thank you!
love when you post vids
i wait when is stan posting love the content
Thanks Brother!
Loving the channel, just found it last week
Awesome, thank you!
I thought you guys did a vid a year ago with a guy that had one. It was breaking all those sheer pins.
He did I’m assuming they took that video to heart and redesigned the plow
YES! Exactly. Boss watched that video and revamped their design! They saw what happened and listened to their customers and made VAST improvements. I Love that they did! Plus they reached out to help all existing customers with any issues they were having. Ive seen Boss do this twice now. They get much respect from me for that
It’s great to see companies do that to manny companies don’t give a crap and just think the name sells that’s one of the biggest reasons I support agco
I agree- Its easy to believe in a company that listens to their customers and responds. Its almost like your part of the company in a way. Like your voice is actually heard.
I thought I remember hearing boss bought the design from sno power?
Love your videos! Learn something new every time. Keep up the amazing work!
Glad to hear it! thank you
I just bought a snowrator with the salter thingy for the back for 15k for my commercial side walks this year excited to test it out
I bet you'll love it
Boss snowplows have been good to me. Yeah, they're expensive but you're also paying for some darn good customer service.
Tim's got the warm and fuzzies for sure. Now he needs those light-up edge markers. Extra hotness.
Crysteel is great
yes they are.
Have you thought about welding a hitch reciever to the part that stays on the truck when you pull the two side pins? If you're able to make it work it may help with cutting the time down loading your equipment to the sites cause you'll be able to tow a trailer with the same truck without the hassle of disconnecting the bed pins and having to line it up.
Ummm well now I have- thank you!😀
@@Dirtmonkey Always happy to share porcelain throne epiphanies.👍
Cant wait to hear how its works for u Stan
Thanks for the Vid 🤘🏻
You and me both!
GREAT JOB BOSS PLOWS!
👍
Boss has the best remote control!!
Ive always liked their remotes
Snow rators are awesome perfect machine for small areas. It’s like mini tank lol
@DirtMonkey Perfect music transition!! I live down in Missouri and we don't need snow plows but a few times a year, yet to me knowledge is power. I'd rather know a million useless facts then to not know one fact I might need later on down the road.. Love the content..
Thanks Tim!
If you watch precision transmission the reverse clutches are pretty beefy as good as low drive gears. You might want an accumulator upgrade though to improve lockup.
Maybe its me - but i dont get why they leave the hydraulic rams down in the area where it, the lines, the fittings, will see all the abuse.. its not like this is a loader where they see incredible amounts of force, or its impossible to mount them up top with a strong hinge to keep everything away from what can damage it.. yea, i know its “just snow” (you hope) - but its likes putting a hydraulic cylinder inside the bucket of a loader, and hoping for the best. At the very least they could build a shield to enclose the cylinder and keep all that snow, ice, salt, ect away from the fittings. Just my opinion... this is obviously a huge improvement over the previous models. Sometimes you just wish engineers would overbuild everything instead of trying to find the balance of ‘just enough”.
i hate to be the barer of bad news, but these thing are JUNK! when you replace 80 sheer pins in less than a month, hopefully that cutting edge on the wing makes a differance, because soon as you get into a bank BOOM. rips that wing around.
Great detailed video thanks. Try to install mug flats on the rear of the truck to keep that flying salt & debris from the rear wheels save on chipping paint. So Stanley it’s been a year now how did the dodge truck hold up. Again great video. peace brother
It looks like you can put a pin in it when stowed so its easier on the hydraulic system
The machines used in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana etc are beefier & actually work for highway clearing. These will be stressed doing parking lots & a neighborhood or two.
Interesting! Ive used Pull plows on commercial work for years with no worries.
LOL! John didn’t seem too pleasant...
Id get camera shy too!
I want to buy one they look great. I wish you could do a price break down on both of plows it would help to know the MSRP before calling the dealer. You know get the sticker shock out of the way.
The heavier plow is $9,900 and the lighter but improved plow is $7,900
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek - Thanks Stan I appreciate it and all the work you put into your channel.
Stanley maybe you should buy a pack face mask and keep it in your truck just in case someone forget they I keep a ten pack in my blazer because of that
Good tip-Thanks
Why does the new and improved drag pro and stop that stop before the sheer pin?
You should run more Boss Stan!
Im agreeing with you.
The maintenance Dept for the utility company I work for is upgrading all of their rear mount blades. I'm going to show the manager this video. Thank you Stanley.👍
Please do!
Thanks for the awesome content and nice piece of equipment stay safe and take care
Thanks, you too!
@@Dirtmonkey no problem friend and thank you 👍
Dearest Dirt Monkey,
Just want to say thanks for the valuable info. Wish I could come learn from you in person but I definitely can’t complain.
You are very welcome
should be able to fit a 2 inch recever with the frame in
0:19 literally shut the front door😂
LOL
I like the unit... Just have a question.. What about the exposed hydraulic lines and fittings on the cylinders? I would have to imagine that they would break off from the force from the pressure of snow hiring them.. For sure the wet heavy snow..
Its the same on our other pull plows and have no issues with them
@@Dirtmonkey thank you for the info.
I am currently in the landscaping business-lawn mowing and a bit of yard work. My business is still pretty small but growing quickly. How would you recommend I get into the construction business from here?
Hey Stan, are you going to be trying out the new 7.3 gasser? If you are, you should do a vs video of the ram 6.4 vs the ford 7.3 gasser. Curious which one would be best for plowing/towing heavy equipment.
Oh I would love to have that engine and truck.
@@Dirtmonkey if you’re ever passing through Central Wisconsin I have a 7.3 XLT with a 9.5 VXFII you can play with. 👍
LETS GO i got it to work
Sweeeeet!
Ha. I had one of the last first gen ultramount MVPs shipped from there. That's awesome.
Made right here in Michigan !!
Yeah!
The boss controller has an off switch for going down the road so you dont hit buttons...
Cool Beans!
The only negative I've heard about about loading or stressing a truck in reverse is with how the ring and pinion gears are cut in the axles the gears aren't designed for a lot of stress in reverse and it may cause excessive wear.
If the gears are set right it wont affect it
Lol i have no desire to buy one of these but still watch the whole thing cuz it was interesting the engineering of it. However i have never heard of side by each. I've always said comparing something side by side. Lol
Its a Minnesota thing or just a Me thing probably
Nice video as always .... can you make one about your Hiniker V plow likes don't like?
We run the belong back plows here in Kansas City! Absolutely love them! The things are absolute beasts and make big lot cleaning such a breeze!
I JUST bought the original version today. I might have to turn my fab/mechanic loose and make the easy changes
Cool beans!
I've looked at them for a couple of years and just picked up a contract where I felt like 'fit'...35 duplexes with short wide driveways that feed into a private road. Previous contractor just back dragged with a v plow and then salted heavily to clean up the mess left behind. I'm hoping we can leave a cleaner surface to start with and hit it with brine to finish
Hey Stanley! Just curious: If its a pusher plow as well as a puller why didn't #anyone demonstrate the wings moving to that reverse drive pusher position anywhere - at least in the demonstration part - of the video? Plenty of Sno-power vids showing & demonstrating the same... #Thanks and #ThanksForYourVideosToo God bless.
#Spyder4mGRMichigan
it clearly is a pusher but they should have demonstrated it. maybe they're still wiring that truck up? might be a reason why its still in the shop.
Always cool videos!! I bought one of the first dragpro plows and love the idea and seen some of the flaws. Like the updates but what will they do for us that already own the first dragpros??
Hey, Stan. I just liked your video even when TH-cam was down.
Thank you, thank you, Thank you!!!!
I’m suprized you bought a boss after what that guy went through. The one you made a video about
The guy who bought the wrong shear pins and wonders why they kept breaking? The new one is the same as a the snopower.
So you're telling us you're going to be plowing like a boss? Pun intended
I am😂
@@Dirtmonkey 🤣
Looks good, I am glad they bought the snow power design. Did they upgrade the cylinders them faster now
You guys the first to have that? I don’t even see it on there site yet
There are very few out there so far.
Wondering how that would work out on a kubota L6060 4x4 mounted on the front?
Stan how long is Tim’s truck back plow and plow on front Crew-Cab long bed 35’ long? Need airport to turn around no residential drives with tight turns with that truck. I like would rather have skidloader with a arctic sectional Sam would agree it looks like they really improved on the original design Have fun on Friday with more snow I’ll be waiting for the video.
Another vid coming out and your right on tims truck. Its a Long One and yes we do 46 residential drives in a community. It can be interesting....
I always liked boss over other names for front plows because dealer network and financing
Not to crazy about the hydraulic relief, I have seen that be an issue on a few boss v plows...but if it work it works
Just curious what do those back blades sell for???
$9,900 for the heavier model. $7,900 for the lighter one
isn't it also good because in rwd trucks it will add weight and give you better traction?
Looks like the BOSS Drag Pro and Ebling Back Blade has the same mounting system
Similar but upgraded and improved.
Whats better to start with short iron or the drag pro
Both are good but Boss has more service locations
I highly doubt I would pull just the rear plow unless it was for the day only. My luck I would get rear ended by somebody & ruin the frame. I would take the whole thing out
I do that but its a lot more work
loved the vid dude!
Thank you! Some people are having trouble with it uploading. It worked good for you?
@@Dirtmonkey i had to get off of the vid then get back on but it worked decent
Can you do a demo on the boss side walk plow
I know this is an older video but do you know if a salter can go on it?
Can you do another video on ariens and maybe do something regarding EFI snow blowers
I can but a Toro snowblower vid is coming soon
@@Dirtmonkey but is it efi?
How many polocs does it take to screw in a light bulb?
3 one to hold the light bulb and two to spin the ladder
How do you get a one armed Pollock out of a Tree? Wave at him hahahaha. Only Pollocks can tell Pollock jokes lol
@@Dirtmonkey there Is only a handful of polock jokes the rest are true stories
