That’s not just a plow it’s artwork, I love to see the results of passion and necessity rolled together.
Thanks for viewing Jeff!
That down pressure helps when you have a tire blowout. Ask me how i know 😌
I moved to North Lake Tahoe after 40 years in Florida (born and raised). Didn’t know what snow was til moving here!! Thanks for the videos!
I'm sure James! Thank you for watching !
You should tell them to add another light to the black box on the snow plow itself so that it’s basically a spot light on the ground so you have max visibility. I’ve seen plows before not sure what brand that were rear mounted, but had the light on the box above the actual plow, and one on each end of the wing that had two sides to the light, one side pointed out facing behind the truck and the other side of the bulb pointed toward the ground but facing forwards toward the cab so you could see the ground when you have the wings facing toward the truck instead of outward. I like extra visibility not just for yourself while plowing but the more someone else can see you the better I think. That’s why I also like the plow edge markers to have little LED’s inside to make it more apparent where exactly your edge is, especially when you’re out for 20-40 hours it helps to have a more noticeable point of reference!
This video shows actual real time usage ,wet snow on the driveway with a grade ,great review Great video work ,cold , fog
Left Minnesota in the 60s... never been back. If your going to stick it out and live the winter life, that plow is amazing! Very impressive!
As a part timer with a 7-3 day job, I've always avoided the idea of snow removal. This is making me rethink the idea. WOW!
dont do it. there are already too many of us
Douglas Uphoff I have a 6:30am-3pm job and only offer per push no contract plowing and make a killing.
Pretty cool idea. Gotta love people thinking outside the box
Absolutely brilliant ideal for plowing snow
After this winter here in Chicago I could you this to the fullest .
Rocking !
Thanks for the comments and for watching Patrick !
Check-out ATR Orbiter Snowplow on TH-cam!
I don’t even plow and this video was awesome.
Thank you , glad you like it!
I don't plow at all, in fact, I live in Phoenix! I still found this interesting. The inventor is a smart dude!
I want one in Tennessee
We were snowed in for a day here in Chaska, MN. The snow is beautiful to look at, but horrible to drive in. Yet another great video, Stan.
Unbelievable snow in April but that plow is really badass
Look at that and that is proof that the product sells itself bottom line it sells itself and to be honest there are so many other things you could use this setup for it ain't even funny I bet their sales went out the roof after this video and I know how much you love yours can't wait to see some more of those videos always Big Ups brother much love and respect👊👊👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙
I love this!! by the way I own a transmission shop after every storm I triple my work load 😍
That is phenomenal. I had no idea such a plow existed.
Thanks for watching the video !!
been around for 20 years
Come to BUFFALO NY between December & February & try plowing here, we get a lot of snow
That's a awesome set up I need that here in Montana...
Thanks bud and thanks for watching !
Love how you yanked that car door open across the snow
That’s a great rig for places who get 1” of snow.
11:25 literally reaction; geez, that's a great way to change a tire. If the plow is able to hold that continuously. I'm sure they didn't make the plow for that too, but it would work.
this thing solves so many things all at once! good catch on the emergency tire swap
in the event you get stuck (with that much weight in the back it would be pretty tough), you can lift and dig your way out too! good catch!
I've had a rear blade on my rig for 8 years. They work great! You poopooers are like the people who drool with jealousy, while watching me back up to a garage door, power down, and just drive away.
I’ve run two Daniels Pull Plows 25 years both still operational used every season ,100 House Route
Not sure why there are dislikes on this video, very informative and what a sweet piece of equipment
Thanks for the nice comments !!
If i had that installed on my truck i would use that as an excuse to get a 5th wheel camp since the rails are already installed in the bed of the truck if they are raided for that kind of wight and that would help to save time with plowing
for my work front it the way. work for the township, so mostly plowing roads...so just pushing from the front i think makes more sense.but if we did more parking lots i could see this being more useful. of course, our truck are international 7500's (or most are, still working on replacing mid 90's kodiaks) and we run with salt. we've also a few F550's for smaller routes.
I plowed for a couple of years and lost my butt. Tore out a transfer case, steering knuckle on a closed knuckle, broke the ram off the pump on a western plow. I'm in no way interested in doing any more of that, but I enjoyed watching this video. I did get a good tax write off. The truck I now own does have the plow and towing package just because that is what I wanted. I didn't pick up on the tires you are running. The last set I bought was BF Goodrich TA radials. I have 26k on the Micheline tires that came on my truck so I'll be shopping for tires soon. I was told these are made in Fort Wayne Indiana. If anyone knows of something better, I would like to hear their recommendations. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Gene !
Thanks for the snow plow vlog
Hello from St. Cloud, MN former demolition/construction guy
Love the warning lights ! Goin to the try a few of them out for next winter .
I watched this video for 3 seconds and its already genius
Appreciate that Michael, thank you !
I have been watching the rear mounted plows for a while now. Although Tractors are better suited to use them. I believe that Front mounted plows will have to change to keep up with the changing times.
I looked at those back plows and thought “why didn’t I invent that”......genius. I don’t see how it would be harder on the trucks.
Glad I live down south don't have to deal with that mess. Its nice to have some every so often. Nice plows ,probably should get some f450's to have extra strength for the plows. Good video
That light looks like they met up with Federal Signal for their light technology. Personally Stan I would still get a V plow for the deep events. Use the V to punch a hole through and the pull plow to widen your hole like having side wings. Also if you have a pull plow forget about salting or deicing. It would be in the way. Yet you can add a wing to your pickups and still do deicing work at the same time.
That rail system, plus an adjustable hitch, would be great for an adjustable tow connect system.
Great 👍🏻 snow equipment Next year I’m in for one
I don't need a plow in Las Vegas but I DO like the idea of being able to quickly change a flat tire in the back of my truck. :-)
Don't know if you heard of R.A.S.K. ASSOCIATES they are in six states now plowed for them for 15 years as a foreman when Indiana got snow, only thing i see in your videos plowing snow with lots of equipment in one lot!
I was always shamed for that, especially with snow boxes 15' was charged as 2 truck hours which cut your time on lot.
You do a great job from what ive seen.
Its a lot of work in short amount of time. Miss the snow here in Indiana maybe 15' in three years on those days would be 20 or more hours in a truck cab covering 24 lots. Have a good season! DND LANDSCAPE
I got a quote of 8500.00. Plus shipping. But I am going to silver lake sand dunes 4th of July and hope I can pick it up on my way back to Chicagoland 🤩
That dude makes money coming or going..ingenious buddy!
You should review all the things that break on your equipment and how to not abuse the moneymakers
Ik it's April I love watching the snow plow vids
Only thing is these are harder on the transmission by working it harder in reverse. Reverse is a weak gear
not true.
@@morgansmith3650 yeah well my reverse just went out an hour ago just from throwing salt in reverse in my parking lots.
@@Smittyschannel sorry to hear that. Trans overhauls arent cheap no matter what angle. hope you get it back up asap so you can get back to work. Keep up the good work!
@@morgansmith3650 thanks. this seems to be the year for everything breaking down
Great video 👍
11:10 very expensive jack stand
That's a long drive for a plow. Other than that thanks for visiting my great state of Michigan!
What a genius idea.
Not as nice as yours but I just built my own “Pull Plow” based on the premise that trucks and SUV’s are designed to pull. It only weighs 300lbs so my Jeep can easily handle the weight and is a “quick release” system so it can be loaded and unloaded quickly. Thank you for the video.
Clickbait,where's the 19 inches of snow?
Great freaking video.....love the plow. Great review SDMG!
Awesome T Gray, thank you so much!
I love how it can pick the truck up only if the front one did that to
I can't think of any way this is harder on your truck. Trucks are designed and tested to pull heavy loads forward. Also, they are built to have heavy loads on the rear suspension, and all attach points to the truck are points designed for heavy loads, aka trailers.
All the helical gears in the transmission and rear end are made to be much stronger going forward than reverse...
I don't think there is enough down pressure to make that big a difference
Yeah but with the limited traction of snow that is less of an issue.
@@treyhart6861 x
Trey Hart No
This might be the only type plow I can put on my unless Ford 2012 F150 have to see what I can find in Ontario Canada
Dumping in the street us soooo illegal here. But it's still a great innovation.
Can we get a pull plow comparison of your 2? Likes and dislikes? We’re in the market for one in Virginia. Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks for the suggestion Andrew!
I am ordering one ASAP!!
Remember, things are easier to pull than push...
I have to say i love the case and kage blade i use.
Decently looks like it take some time to get used to it.
b nice to have one 👍
Awesome video! Sweet and simple info
Any chance of you making any new videos of this pull plow in deep snow? I would love to play with one of them for a Winter.
Thanks for this awesome video! I totally understand snow plowing, as I live in Minnesota as well, northern Minnesota up by Bemidji. I was always wondering when they would develop a blade like this. What part of Minnesota are you guys?
Handles 1" of snow no problem.
handles more. just an internet video that doesnt well demonstrate full capabilities
Changing back tires is a breeze id assume😂
I wish we had more snow so I could put a plowing the front for looks
This looks like it would leave you with a sore neck. LOL
Nice unit!!
I wanna know how you got these plows, how much they cost and what the profit margin is on one of these. I want one just knowing its gonna make my day n night easier or less time. But holy cost!
Wish they had a 9-10ft mosdel id test that out with my dakota!
I don't know a damn thing about plowing but this is interesting as hell. Maybe a stupid question: what about a brush system mounted in front?
My first issue with plowing this way is the truck driving over the snow before plowing. Plowing forward provides a cleaner job.
The second is driving forward while simultaneously paying attention to what is behind you. This only invites the potential for accidents.
Third is more of a question. How the hell would you be able to plow a four to six foot drift?
I'll stick to my 9.5' v-plow.
Do u think u could get a back plow instead of a front plow and just windrow snow drug into street onto curb or backup and push pile into parkway instead of buying a front plow?
Awesome video...thanks!!!
Thank you Byron !
I agree that is awesome
Thanks for viewing Brian !
I have 1 question can you get an extension to move it further away from the truck? Does that distance ever play a factor in the plowing?
These backblades should make the edges in sections and spring loaded like a metalpless. Much cleaner scrapes which is the drawback to these plows.
I was out moving snow for 15 hours with a 4 ft blower when that snow came...
You need a pull blower, lol !
I see you have two different pull plows. Maybe you addressed it in another video. Which pull plow do you like the best? The sno power or the guys from short iron fab? Thanks
What size trucks do they make these for do they make them for a Chevy S10 pickup please comment back thank you very much for this video
Excellent!
Thanks Bob!
Excuse me sir.. does that plow attached to a tractor? How does it do on mud?
Check ATR Orbiter Snowplow on TH-cam!
Just need sprinkle salt down as it goes aswell haha
good option for chevy guys with that weak ifs. good idea
Chevys are doing just fine.
I reckon that be so useful up here in Canada eh !
Useless unless you only get an inch of snow at a time
That’s a awesome plow especially look at him leave that driveway from the garage it looks a bit like a wheel lift for a tow truck
My biggest complaint about these is it renders the bed of the truck useless . What I would like to see is a secondary bed subfloor and a tail gate to still be able to retain some bed useability .
bystander...
Ok here’s a challenge for you and I’m quite confident that you’re not going to be able to review it. It’s a Menzie Muck M545 excavator, if you have never seen one then it will blow your mind. It’s THE best excavator ever invented, especially for hill work, if you do nothing else at least check one out on TH-cam please. Great videos keep up the great work from England
Awesome thanks for the info
I live in SW Florida! Don’t have any use for this kit! AND DONT WANT ANY USE FOR IT. You guys move down here. Snow is nice as long as it’s on TV
Great videoSir!
Love your videos keep up the good work!!&
Muskegon mi ! You ever walk on my soul again without a hello and you my friend will lose your wheels
I would like to see him do a video on snoway plows
Thanks for watching Conner, will keep it in mind!
I would like to see your feedback on a Turf Rail on a Challenger 2 post lift
how long is it guna take for them to put one of these plows on the front and get these really popular
I'm in muskegon. Cool video
Review some snow shovels ! Lol
If only they could get the center to tilt slightly to the left or right to help move the heavier snow like you mentioned at 13:31, nothing major, just enough to help slide the snow to the side.
Btw were getting 60s and rain here in Indy. 😎
biker932012 I
they should have gave up before the first plow was built. damn those engineers for even trying. if they only knew someone would have had a better idea than them..
Tilting the center blade with the limited weight of the back of the truck would end up pushing the rear end off to the side.
the plow looks great just cant get them to reply to my request.
Same thing I’ve called them 10 times to order no call back What do we do if we need a part quickly?
Looks like a really slick set up. Only thing I see that would cause you issues is need to have a licence plate and Light mount, blocking a plate here get you a ticket.
y2kxj
Good point... my sander blocks my rear plate..
do they make u guys put a front plate on a regular plow? 👀
Grumpy 1 mainly they go after a blocked rear plate...
y2kxj every state has different laws regarding the rear license plate. Take Missouri for example where they only supply one license plate for commercially licensed trucks and it must be mounted on the front of that truck -- not just tractor trailers either but all the way down to half-ton trucks (i.e. F150, C1500, etc for lawn care businesses). They also do not hassle the trucks with front snowplows mounted, as long as it can be seen if the LEO pokes his head between the snowplow & truck.
Holy cow just move the plate up higher
I need 1 of those lights
we in south germany had 85°F last week
I've been running back blades (sorry, I don't call it a pull plow) for 17 years, the last 3 full seasons with a winged back blade. It's a pet peeve of mine watching people pull out into the road and letting the traffic or road commission clean up the mess. Thanks Dirt Monkey for your videos! I also plow 25+ miles per hour quite frequently. On long runs, typically I run my V plow to clear the lane and my winged back blade spread out to clear the width.
I forgot to mention that I'm in West Michigan too! We don't get quite as much lake effect as the shoreline, but it still keeps us busy!
