I plowed snow working for a local district for 35 years. Fought with Meyers the whole time. Won't lift or won't angle constant problems with quick connecters and solenoids. I noticed they now run Westerns on all six trucks. Only negative I see with your plow is those wire connecters. I think them coming off would get old real fast. One recommendation I would make to you is remove your tailgate during the winter months. Early on we did not and the release would get rusty inside the tailgate and get hard to use, or the tailgate would rust out. We made a H box from 2x8's to keep things in the bed during winter months. Two boards running along the wheel wells with cross pieces running in front and behind the wheel wells. All screwed together.
I had a dealer install the R29 series 2, on December 28th 2022, then upon its first use on January 3rd 2023 we found a problem with the hydraulic system and the plow creeps down on its own. The dealer said he will come in on January 6th 2023 to fix it but never showed up and now 6 months later the plow is still unfixed. The plow put a lot of chipped spots in the concrete, its so damaging beyond acceptable limit. Save yourself headaches and liability and purchase a different plow from a respectful dealer and manufacturer, or you might end up like me regretting the second that you bought a snoway R29 plow. And just an FYI, I tried to return this plow in the first week of purchase, the dealer refused to return and the manufacturer refused to return it too.
I Purchased a snoway 26 series about p years ago. I have had no problems minus a relay going out. Bar non the best plow I have ever purchased, leaves parking lots so clean you can eat off of them. I purchased a truck and it came with a western and I am very disappointed with it, very sloppy and does not clean as well. The float mode totally sucks, you can not scrape any compacted snow off of the ground, and back dragging is very aggravating. I have sold my western and ordered a Snoway 29vhd, and I'm sure I will be even more pleased with it than my 26 series. The wireless pro control is awesome, and the down pressure is like no other. The plows are solid don't shave or wobble while transporting them, unlike the westerns. Snoway's plows are rugged and reliable.
The harness slipping off the coils has been corrected with different terminals on the harness. I've replaced the harness on mine and they no longer vibrate loose.
Hi not sure if it counts but in Canadian dollars your looking at 7kish for half ton only reason it's cheaper cause you can only really run a 6'8 blade recommended by Snow way and that's the 29HD not the fancy one with the adjustable wings like on the video.I got one for my 2500 diesel and it ran me $8700
It’s been a number of years since I’ve bought those I tried to look them up but can no longer find them. If you do a quick search for led flood work lights on amazon you should be able to find something similar

I’ve had snoway plows for years. Problem is that no one repairs them. Can’t even get a call back.

I have a gravel driveway, how did you attach the two inch pipe to the cutting edge? I love that idea!
is the down pressure make this plow worth buying, it is a 1,000.00 more than a myer
downpressure is an incredible feature. And there are some great end of season deals being offered on SW plows right now!

How long is the battery life on the plow.?
Very helpful review! Thank you. Also if you wanted to, you could solder the wire connections so they won’t come loose.
Hey good video
What did it cost if you don't mind my asking. Do you recommend it for a ram 1500?
I honestly can’t remember an exact number off the top of my head it’s been five years ago since I purchased this plow so I’m sure pricing has changed.
I would definitely recommend it though, we have been very happy with this setup and actually just bought another snoway plow

Hi Jacob, I'm looking at going with a very similar setup. Can you reply with what lights from Amazon you put on there?
