Head to head challenge- V plow Vs a containment plow. We remove the Snowdogg & install a new Hiniker scoop plow, find & fix a bad connection, then race head to head.
Its nice to see a boss and his crew talking shop about the performance of their equipment, without the boss getting the old whip out to lash them back to work. Great Crew!!! Great Boss!!! And I love the fact that you're teaching your viewers all the time. And in doing these tests with your crew, you are learning what's efficient. Very nice!!!
@@Dirtmonkeyhey dude.i have a well maintained fisher that’s about 5-6 years old.when dismounting the lift arm will not go down,even in float.only way to get it down is to beat on the lift arm plate.any suggestions?is there something I can do?much appreciated if you get back to me.thanx
I have had my Hincker V plow for 6 years. Same cutting edge. I have cut through 4' drifts on Lake of the woods getting to my fish house. When the resort abandons the road, and you have to cut through a old drifted in area for a couple of hundred yards, the Hincker V plow is the best solution.
The scoop plows are great but where the vplows shine is being able to V it through drifts or being able to break through into driveways easier in deep snow. We are in a more hilly terrain where we plow so the MVP3 westerns earned our love. A simpler controller would be nice though i 100% agree
He had several advantages, weight from back plow, weight from quad cab, little wider plow, and no cars to go around. Given all of that i would bet they are equal or the v plow is slightly slower. Id take a shout out!
I would have called the people that installed the plow and had them come to me and fix the truck. Tim has it. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
Just wanted to Thankyou for all your advice and knowledge Stan ! I am 20 years old and started a Landscape Construction company in Pa. I love your videos and hope to make them in the near future to give back the knowledge I learn on a day to day basis just like you taught me! Nolan , Bird Dog Landscape Construction, LLC.
One of the reasons I like to do my own plow installs and wiring is to avoid the problem you had and if I have an issue it makes it so much easier to troubleshoot.
Definitely a fan of the Fisher plows here in Syracuse. Have used both V and wide out style plows. I like the V in open lots I like the wideout style for between cars.
@@ericszentmiklosi1169 I have an 8' HD2 on my Ram and like that for doing driveways so far, but would like to try either a V-plow or a Wideout next. Stanley's new Hinniker plow makes me really want to try the Wideout I must say.
I've run a bunch of plows on a bunch of vehicles, and one advantage a V has over everything else is being able to V to make your 1st cut. When you get 2 feet plus (I've done 3' twice), the first pass is vital. Also very useful for the windrow left by the city plow.
Hey dude.i have a fisher that’s been maintained nicely.when I’m dismounting I cannot push the lift arm plate down to do so.i have to use a sledge hammer to get it down.i am in float.it just won’t go down.would appreciate any suggestions.thanks
@@robertmcgee7969 Man I wish I could help you out... but I don't think I understand the issue. I have one myself; when I disconnect from the plow, the headgear falls forward, then nothing lines up when trying to re-connect. I've got to stop in the dealership and ask, but I just keep forgetting. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. Fisher EZ V.
@@wannabejeeper thanks man..the yellow plate on top of the lift arm.when put it in float I used to be able to just push it down so I could disconnect.now I have to beat the Jesus out of it to make it go down.just had it serviced too.guess I’m gonna have to take it back and let them handle it
@@wannabejeeper I actually have to take a huge crowbar and beat it down far enough to let me unhook it.pain in the ars.haven’t had snow yet.once I put it on it won’t come off til March.but man what a pain
I am glad you enjoy talking to us, because I enjoy talking with you and watching your videos, this video really help full and got to learn how you had in past and how you liked it.
That is a nice plow. I push a western wide out for 10 years and love it. I can actually push more snow then a skid with a plow. The wide out gives you the option of flat, scoop. It has been a good plow for 10 years.
Was with western for 20 years + switched to hiniker 5 years ago love them won't go back put first cutting edge on this year 9'6" v plow good content keep it going
Rough week. Finally got snow in Detroit blew a line the first day and snapped my frame going over a railroad track today. Used plow trucks are a blast. Just lost 6 apartments. At least your videos I can see money can be made. So new line lots of welding and it is running again. Keep the videos coming it is what keeps me going
Either you got it or you don't. There are guys who do really well because it's ways about your next move. Always thinking what's gonna make my life easier. You'll never be a pro your first night out
Nice video!! I have always used dodge for plowing, with Myers but Hiniker may be a plow to look for if I buy back in........ My wife caught me watching this video(been a while) she said "NO PLOW TRUCK or DIVORCE?" Hmm I got to think about it I said, now I am in timeout!
I’ve been running a Hiniker c-plow here in Connecticut for the last 15 years on my 99 f350. Bought the plow brand new and everyone broke my chops for not buying a fisher or boss or western. Nobody knew a thing about Hiniker around me until I purchased mine. Like I said I’m going on 15 years with this plow and I’ve replaced the blades once and still haven’t replaced any hydro hoses. Only upgrade I did was upgrade to the new lights. So I’m a huge huge Hiniker fan huge. I honestly believe the Hiniker is the most underrated plow on the market. Since I purchased mine 15 years ago slowly they started popping up by word of mouth. So I’m excited to see you went Hiniker and spoke the truth about them I know everyone has their own opinions and some guys like western or boss or whatever but I believe if they ran a Hiniker for one storm they’d never go back.
Bought a Western Wideout 14 months ago. Finally got to use it last month. I will NEVER go back to a straight plow again. I absolutely love it. It took me a couple of hours to get used to the handheld remote. I am sold on expanding plows. Best thing is when I’m in scoop mode I can still angle the plow left or right. Try that with a V plow. Until last month I had been plowing with a Curtis since 2000. I loved the way they hooked up to the truck. Super fast. I’m not as big of a fan of the Western system of hooking up to the truck. I use a pallet jack to move the plow around the shop. It’s a little more tricky with a Western.
Love that new plow! I'm a BOSS guy running straight & V blades. You got me excited about that Hiniker. Just to note-have run wings on my BOSS plows straight or V & it is definitely worth the price!! Saves 20% every event...don't know if Hiniker has any available?? If they do...you would/should seriously consider adding them!!!!!!!!
I always enjoy watching your videos. In my opinion the V and Scoop plow do a very good job of scraping done to the asphalt and they look like they both carry about the same amount of snow its so close. I think i like the V plow a bit better for back dragging up against the curb/sidewalk because you can straighten it and get closer.
I own a small Lawn care/snow Removal business in southern MN and Hermans is where I had my Hiniker plow installed as well, small world, even smaller world my old man is a supervisor at Hiniker in Mankato and probably had a part in assembling your Hiniker plows. Those controllers are the best!
Hey Stan it's Rocco from R &J here in Connecticut you took it more snow I really enjoy your videos there appreciated thanks your friend Rocco from Connecticut go get em my friend
Wideout gets smoked next to wester 9.6 contractors V plow. We did the test 2", 6" and 12" snow falls. 2" was even, then large snow falls. 6 and 12 wideout got stuck on heavy wet snow.
Honestly they are both good plows and i really could not tell any real difference. I have never had a hiniker , but this would make me look at one. Appears very high quality.
The V plow is the best plow for doing city sidewalks and park trails especially when the snow is deep because it pushes snow left and right. A single straight blade plow bogs down by only plowing snow to one side.and making a huge pile on that side.
I have a question. When you set up contracts for snow removal, do you get a retainer. I live down south and we hardly see snow. BUT, this year we got a lot. How about talking about snow removal contracts asap.
Love the control module!!! Splitting hairs on which is best. Great scraping on both! It's all about the quality and density of the steel on the scraper which provides longevity.
I'm looking foreword to seeing what you do with your property up north. You guys really know how to make winter fun. I love seeing people making work fun. Life is too short not to find the fun in everything.
Neat stuff , Stan! How often do you get to see a snow plow actually rolling snow from that vantage point? That’s really cool to watch. Thanks for the great content.
Hey Stan I'm pouting over the gmc quietness grrrrrrrr my pap was a tool maker for them for 43 years thats why I love em second is dodge....how about a shout out for Paul and caitlin we love the videos and were go getters like you guys thanks bub
@@Dirtmonkey out of curiosity. And this is from experience in the DC area during that big snow a few years back. I noticed down there private contractors would load snow into the bed of their trucks to get as much traction as possible have you guys ever done that?
Awesome video guys👍 I was picking a new snow plow this year. It was between the Hiniker scoop and the Boss EXT I went with the EXT because it is expandable to 10 ft. Still a simple design. Lots of guys like the western wideout but it looks like to much work to repair. God bless👍👍
Have you ever considered an adjustable width plow? I know there's a few companies who make them where each side about a 2 foot wing on each is hydraulically controlled where they can extend about a foot to a foot and a half wider on each side so a 8 foot plow can be turned into a 10 foot plow with a push it s button. So besides having that much wider of a plow when on the job site when going down the road you still have the typical normal width plow.
Great Video,,,, Would also have loved to see some footage of the truck at the shop trying to diagnose the stalling etc. Any videos showing how to help diagnose problems, locating & fixing bad grounds etc. are always so helpful. Fix it yourself kind of stuff. Loved this video & really appreciate all your content ! (I vote for the V Blade in this video,,, however I was thinking that the scoop plow would have come out ontop hands down). You guys are awesome !
I wish you guys could teach the plow guys in the Northeast how to plow. We have piles of snow on every parking lot island. The way you guys clear everything and push it to one main pile is the way to go. You have more parking area. Great channel. Keep up the great content.
Do you ever run weight on the back of your plow trucks? I've always found a ton or more in the bed makes you able to plow in 2wd nicely and push just about anything. I used to load my f250 to max weight and it was unstoppable in just about any storm
@@Dirtmonkey Stan sorry to correct you but Guinness is a Stout not a beer. Anyway I really like watching your snow plowing videos. I hope you found the snow! 😀🏴🇬🇧
Great video. I am running a Hinker Straight 8 and a Western 7.5 Each have there goods and bad. you have convinced me the next plow will be the scoop plow. Hey shout out to your crew. Its seems they have taken to doing the videos really well. You obviously take the time to make good videos, but I have noticed your crew stepping up and giving alot of great info when they are running the camera. Good Job guys!
I would take the Hiniker, it looks like half the weight of Tim's plow. It would be a lil more forgiving on the front end. Stan , can you do a video on the charger? That thing is sick.👍
The only problem I've seen with the scoop plow is in super deep snow. I've got a 1/4 mile long driveway. When the drifting gets to be 2-3 ft deep you need the V plow to make a path up the middle in V mode first. If you do it with a scoop or straight blade you either can't get through or it pushes you off the side of the driveway. So there are definitely better plows for different applications
Nice looking plow. Around me it seems that everyone and their mother runs boss. It could be that they are made right here in the upper peninsula of Michigan. They are made about 2 hours from me and I have been by where they make them lots of times. Myself I still prefer the old chain to raise them and the old cable to control them. Might be dad had a western he had for 20 years and never replaced a cable or had the pump opened up. He beat the hell out of it also.
I had a western that lasted 11 years and a Hiniker that lasted that long- then rotted off the truck but the frame was good so I bought a plow off craiglsist (scoop) and ran that for another 4 years with no issues. Same wiring same frame. so that lasted 15-16years?
I've plowed with my astro van for two years now. Just a super light duty snowbear manual angle and winch lift, but it does the job and is quite the show
My Chevy truck was a terror- I went through 4 engines and 7 transmissions and 3 differentials before I threw in the towel. I would get one thing fixed and then something else would go wrong. Just kept happening on that truck.
When I was laid off from electrical work in 2010 I plowed that winter. I ran a blizzard speed wing and I am with you Stan it was much easier to operate.
I want to see more jack-knife videos. Lol. Cant wait to hopefully start plowing next winter down here in flat land illinois. Your videos are the inspiration behind that idea. Thank you. Nice job on the video quality.
Good video Stan. I am still running old school meyer ez classic plows. have a 7.5' with wings and it does pretty good. It's a little over 9 foot mounted to a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 hemi, long bed crew cab. I also have a old school 95 Toyota 4runner with the Meyer 6 foot tube mount to get residential driveways and tight spots.
I like my Hiniker V plows (older), simple hook up and go, no external switch to mess with to hook up, or spring pins, plus they have great controllers.
Awesome video!! And thanks for the shout out for A&K Outdoor Services!! Also just a quick tip for you guys to keep an eye on that hiniker v plow I had one for 2 years 2018 it was brand new and had it in 2019, but after the first year plowing with it I started plowing my second year and made it till about January 2019 and then had some issues where that A frame of the plow connects to the actual blade it ended up breaking and the only thing holding the plow on was one bolt. Hiniker said it was a known issue with the v plow for 2018 not sure if they fixed it for 2019 or 2020 but just something to keep an eye on as it happened to me twice in the same year. Hard to explain but right up where the A frame connects to the blade there’s 3 bolts that go through the center pillar of the blade and that’s where it cracked. But love your videos and can’t wait until the next one!!
Hey stanley. Another great video. Do you think you could do a video on the history of your companies? How they evolved to where they are at now and what you learned along the way? I would like to hear you tell some old stories. That would be a great video :) thanks as always for putting out these great informative videos, they help a lot.
Great video as always. I looked at the Hiniker Scoop but found a Boss Straight blade with scoop wings that I think does a similar Performence that came with my 2002 Dodge.
I started with a Hiniker scoop. Loved it. Took a bad hit while it was angled going over a hidden utility lid that the black top eroded away from the edge. Trip edge couldnt fold properly... ripped the left cutting edge clean off. My teeth still hurt.
I got a 8 ft western straight blade and I def want to get a wide out next year or a v plow got western mounts on my other truck so most likely will get a western brand so I can just get mounts but those side wings help a lot it looks like! Thanks for the video!!

@@Dirtmonkey snow removal vs snow plow and what to do with the snow that is removed melted? Stored? Paid to dump?
I’m just looking forward to this 43 degree Monday 😭😂
Stan does seem to have a great group, hope he pays them well,
On fishers knew cutting edges only last a year and only stick down about an inch or so below more bored I hate it hiniker is my favorite plow
I have had my Hincker V plow for 6 years.
Same cutting edge.
I have cut through 4' drifts on Lake of the woods getting to my fish house. When the resort abandons the road, and you have to cut through a old drifted in area for a couple of hundred yards, the Hincker V plow is the best solution.
The scoop plows are great but where the vplows shine is being able to V it through drifts or being able to break through into driveways easier in deep snow. We are in a more hilly terrain where we plow so the MVP3 westerns earned our love. A simpler controller would be nice though i 100% agree

Hey shout out to your crew. Its seems they have taken to doing the videos really well. You obviously take the time to make good videos, but I have noticed your crew stepping up and giving alot of great info when they are running the camera. Good Job guys!
Nice to see that you did something fun after that nightmare of cutting wood. 😂👌
Oh yeah! I needed a change for sure.
@@Dirtmonkey you should do a video explaining how/ what you think when plowing a lot. (What patterns you use)
I would take the Hiniker, it looks like half the weight of Tim's plow. It would be a lil more forgiving on the front end. Stan , can you do a video on the charger? That thing is sick.👍
I did a video on the challenger a few years back. It looks like a mad max car but drives like a dream. Have a great week bud!
CT? haha down here we get like a foot of snow with no warning ! shoveling ain’t it for my back but it gets the bills paid
The only problem I've seen with the scoop plow is in super deep snow. I've got a 1/4 mile long driveway. When the drifting gets to be 2-3 ft deep you need the V plow to make a path up the middle in V mode first. If you do it with a scoop or straight blade you either can't get through or it pushes you off the side of the driveway. So there are definitely better plows for different applications
Love the ram snowplowing videos, keep up the great work👍🏼
Glad you like them!
@@Dirtmonkey plus you definitely need some new tires to bet him 😂
Both of those plows done a great job 👍. Be safe and stay warm 👌.
Thanks 👍 . You to! Stay safe and warm.
Battery to low got a 2019 ram truck wouldn’t go out of first gear an traction wasn’t working until I charged the battery
Nice looking plow. Around me it seems that everyone and their mother runs boss. It could be that they are made right here in the upper peninsula of Michigan. They are made about 2 hours from me and I have been by where they make them lots of times. Myself I still prefer the old chain to raise them and the old cable to control them. Might be dad had a western he had for 20 years and never replaced a cable or had the pump opened up. He beat the hell out of it also.
I had a western that lasted 11 years and a Hiniker that lasted that long- then rotted off the truck but the frame was good so I bought a plow off craiglsist (scoop) and ran that for another 4 years with no issues. Same wiring same frame. so that lasted 15-16years?
@@Dirtmonkey always nice to have things that last. Hard to find now days everything is made to be thrown away.
I've plowed with my astro van for two years now. Just a super light duty snowbear manual angle and winch lift, but it does the job and is quite the show
Nice one Stan as usual. 👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴
Even though I’m a kid
Thats awesome!
yes the best i have ever had i have had all but the chevy and boss have done the best!! oh do you no the arwe going elektrick i 2035
My Chevy truck was a terror- I went through 4 engines and 7 transmissions and 3 differentials before I threw in the towel. I would get one thing fixed and then something else would go wrong. Just kept happening on that truck.
@@Dirtmonkey what model/year..?
1979 3/4 ton. Dont remember much else about it.
I hear Dodge trucks have overpriced parts? Is this true?
@John Lawson ok mr (bingo-bango herky-jerky flippy-flappy guy wth does that mean
Thank you for everything you have help me with build and fixed.
Appreciate ya Gary!
That was one awesome video, and I'm now looking at a new hinker for my new 19 f250 coming from a Meyer, then western. Thank's boss man!!!
Have y’all ever thought of putting your plows on pallets to be able to move them a little faster without the truck?
Yep- we normally do.
Watching those two plows roll snow is so satisfying!!
Agreed 👍
We are debating on buying either a scoop or a v plow for one of our trucks this helped a lot!
Great equipment for the snow and a great video , but man that car of yours steals the show it’s like something out of Fast and Furious 👍 Tam.
Love the video! Would love to see the side by side plowing walks or something. Keep up the great work
Noted! Thanks for the suggestion.
When I was laid off from electrical work in 2010 I plowed that winter. I ran a blizzard speed wing and I am with you Stan it was much easier to operate.
I want to see more jack-knife videos. Lol. Cant wait to hopefully start plowing next winter down here in flat land illinois. Your videos are the inspiration behind that idea. Thank you. Nice job on the video quality.
Good video Stan. I am still running old school meyer ez classic plows. have a 7.5' with wings and it does pretty good. It's a little over 9 foot mounted to a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 hemi, long bed crew cab. I also have a old school 95 Toyota 4runner with the Meyer 6 foot tube mount to get residential driveways and tight spots.
Love my Hiniker plow. Used it today on a skid to clean lots.
I like my Hiniker V plows (older), simple hook up and go, no external switch to mess with to hook up, or spring pins, plus they have great controllers.
Dead even tie in my book. All comes down to driver preference and who's writing the check. Fun video.
Im with you- Pretty much preferance . Best👊
Awesome video!! And thanks for the shout out for A&K Outdoor Services!! Also just a quick tip for you guys to keep an eye on that hiniker v plow I had one for 2 years 2018 it was brand new and had it in 2019, but after the first year plowing with it I started plowing my second year and made it till about January 2019 and then had some issues where that A frame of the plow connects to the actual blade it ended up breaking and the only thing holding the plow on was one bolt. Hiniker said it was a known issue with the v plow for 2018 not sure if they fixed it for 2019 or 2020 but just something to keep an eye on as it happened to me twice in the same year. Hard to explain but right up where the A frame connects to the blade there’s 3 bolts that go through the center pillar of the blade and that’s where it cracked. But love your videos and can’t wait until the next one!!
Enjoyed the video Stan! Love these longer videos
Sweet! Happy to hear 😊
Hold my beer, I'll send that snow "Outta Here"....
Great demo on different plows
😃👊. Really in the end it comes down to preferance and price I guess.
Hey stanley. Another great video. Do you think you could do a video on the history of your companies? How they evolved to where they are at now and what you learned along the way? I would like to hear you tell some old stories. That would be a great video :) thanks as always for putting out these great informative videos, they help a lot.
Thanks stan. Great video. Keep them coming. 😂🇬🇧
Gotcha 😀
Great video as always. I looked at the Hiniker Scoop but found a Boss Straight blade with scoop wings that I think does a similar Performence that came with my 2002 Dodge.
Yep- It probably would work about the same- its the same concept at least
Shout Out: I've been watching your channel sense you were at 200k sub. I have learn alot from you. Keep up the great content.
Awesome! Thanks for sticking with me
Yeah we have one of those larger Milwaukie impact's they are handy when we loose tires on our dump trucks mid job. No air no hoses we love it
Way better then any network television crap we get.
Thanks for the video. Snow plow videos are the best
You bet Ive got some more getting ready to be released
@@Dirtmonkey Sweet. Can't wait
Nice work Stan!!!! Show them the old dog 🐕 still has a few new tricks!!
😂👍
The Hiniker plows look nice!
I'm looking to build a plow for my snowcat and love that design after watching this! stupid simple always wins in the end!!!
yes- I agree
That Hiniker plow rolls the snow nice and simple to. 👍
Wow that wing plow really rolls snow amazing from what I see it looks like you were pushing more than the v
I was so impressed with how it rolls snow- Thats the first time I have seen it since Im always in the drivers seat.
You are the MAN . Always awesome videos brother.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Appreciate it Joseph 👊
When you say the brand name of the plow, I'm always hearing Heineken....LOL. Great video as usual!
😂 thanks bro!
Enjoy watching all your videos. Great way to end the day. Give me a shout out from Syracuse ny
They seem to both work pretty damn good looks like it's colder than heck up there
I started with a Hiniker scoop. Loved it. Took a bad hit while it was angled going over a hidden utility lid that the black top eroded away from the edge. Trip edge couldnt fold properly... ripped the left cutting edge clean off. My teeth still hurt.
I’m so motivated I’m buying my first snow plow truck you’re been so motivational
I like the comparing the two plow together It is very interested to see it and thank you Stan for the video and your editor
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the videos, keep up the good work
Thanks Colby 😊
Be blessed. 1) no, he HIT that curb. HARD. 2) TIRES, reviews for what you have an now use.
I got a 8 ft western straight blade and I def want to get a wide out next year or a v plow got western mounts on my other truck so most likely will get a western brand so I can just get mounts but those side wings help a lot it looks like! Thanks for the video!!
