Holy crap! Driving through rivers, up skinny cabin access roads, 40mph with a full plow load, in all adverse conditions with an epic truck! Makes me proud to be part of the lmtv community. Your editing skills on this one really shine! Keep them coming!
I like the way you plow. That’s how it’s supposed to be done. Clean up as you go so there isn’t 100 spill over lines mashed down. Nice and clean and detailed and pushing the snow back and moving it as far away as possible.
It sure is. I have been plowing with a Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4X4 for the last 10 years and knew I wanted another cabover to replace it. I was very excited when I found this truck. Love it.
We used to use MTV as a plow truck up here on Ft. Drum. She would push some snow, but not maintained very well by the Army mechanics. Plowed formally four years I was stationed here. Mainly because I was from Lake Placid NY where we get plenty of snow as is. Figured I was better then some kid from the south doing it. Truck looks amazing. Did notice the mud flap below the hydraulic tank area. Great idea. Wish we used the LMTV's. Wayyyy more menuverable.

Dude, this is without a doubt the most ultimate plow truck set up I think anyone could ask for... not small, but not too big that you can’t go certain places either... I would love to find one of these.. I have the exact same plow, and it’s the best plow I’ve ever had... makes everything else I’ve had or used just seem to suck by comparison.. how much would a truck like this cost in proper running order like the one in this video? And where do you even find something like it??... damn I’m so jealous of that thing hahaha...
You can find these trucks in several different places. Here is a link to somebody that goes through the mechanically and gives a six-month warranty. I've done a lot of comfort upgrades in the cab such as sound deadening and seats from a Dodge caravan. I custom built the Snow plow Mount. If you want to learn more about these trucks join the group lmtv MTV military trucks on Facebook. fmtvsales.com/
Cool I could use 1 here in Iowa. Just gotta convince the better half it would pay for its self. She thinks I will head out on the Monster truck tour with it . lol
I'm building our house right now, but when I'm through, my plan is to sell our GMC 6500 dump truck and move to an LMTV. I use the dump with a 9' western plow and belly scraper to do our HOA roads, but it's a beast, and it's only rwd so I have to chain it up if we get a good winter. (Rocky mountains...) I'd much prefer something that burns diesel and has an auto trans, and 4x4. How is the shift pad holding up? I do a lot less forward/reverse, but I can see your finger getting tired of pressing buttons... The idea of snow not piling up on the wipers seems nice too. :)
The end of my finger was sore after the first day of plowing, lol😆. No problems at all with the shift pad. No hood for snow to pile on, excellent visibility, side windows and mirrors stay very clean.
Oh man I've sent one camera back because of it. This one is an old session I have that I don't use much but I have it on the windshield. I can't stand it.
@@NEILSWORLD yeah I have the session. I take pics of the properties when I’m done clearing them for liability reasons with the session. My other go pros do the clicking though. The Hero 5 Black specifically. I also have a 6 and a 7. Not sure if they do it as I never do sped up views with them.
Super nice plow rig but it seems a bit much for standard driveways and smaller parking lots. I plowed with a single axle dump truck with a 10’ Leo and big parking lots were great. Drives sucked. Just not enough visibility. Your rig would be great for Walmart lots or streets or something of that nature. And then put a wing on it, it surely has the power for one.
This truck is the perfect size for me. It has excellent visibility being cab forward and I can plow small driveways without any problem. I wouldn't want anything smaller.
I put seats in it that I got at the junkyard out of a Dodge caravan. They did not have heat in them. I was going to add it but after plowing last winter I decided I don't need heated seats. I'm always wearing ski pants and I keep the cab very hot in order to keep the windows as clear as possible.
The plow is designed for this size truck. From fishers website. Plow limit is 26,000 GVW max. Due to the size and weight of this plow, some vehicles may require suspension aids to maintain adequate ground clearance in order to allow proper positioning of the plow to maximize headlamp visibility. If using tractor central hydraulic system for V-plows or expandable wing plows a 3rd function valve will be needed. 27,500 max GVWR. Not for use on trucks with extended front frame option. Bumper brackets on extended frame optioned trucks must be replaced with standard bumper brackets prior to installing this plow mount.
Great video - thanks! Love the variety of camera angles. The spreader on the back to help with weight over rear tires. Searching Midwest Military Equipment for this or something similar.
This truck is a 1997. I bought it early 2019 and it had 4,000 miles on it. The military has thousands and thousands of these trucks and most of the time they're just sitting there in case we need them.
Hello . i am new to your channel. the truck with the Snow plow in front look good together. only those extra headlights of the snow plow you really have to widen to a bit of the image of the truck, I really don't like that headlights so close together. and it is also much more difficult for other road users to estimate the width of your truck. with kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands ( source of translation: Google translate )
The US government has thousands of these trucks and are selling them steadily at auction.

One of the better solutions of snowremowal !! No silly little pick-up with a tinfoil plow in front....
Amen!
What a beast...love the turbo whine
great video - I bet the cabover design makes for great visability when plowing
It sure does. I went from 10 years in the Mitsubishi fuso to this army truck and I love it.
Very nice equipment. That rural plowing can be as dangerous as cars in an urban setting. Thanks for sharing!
Nicely done. Great cuts and edit. No silly music. All business
Thank you.
Really shows off the FMTV well. Lots of camera angle! Your best video yet. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, I'm planning to make a walk around video to talk about all the great features of the truck.
Are you happy with your plow set up? We actually bought our 1078 to convert to a dump bed and add a plow.
Very happy with it.
Saw you driving down 15 the other day, man that must be sweet having the cab over setup for visibility with the plow.

How much does a truck like this cost?
I would sell you this truck for $65,000.
now if you could rig up some sort of saw blade to cut the tree branches hanging into the road then it would be the KING of Ultimate snow plows.
A couple of big sickle bars on the sides for plow guides that would be perfect 👍🤔
