And should get a headache rack for the fords to mount a light bar that doesn’t have magnets on it to the headache rack. And will help protect the back window and won’t interfere with the salters
I'm also an Ohio snow fighter. I totally get the bigger plow, but it means you need a second truck to plow and you're constantly working looking over your shoulder. Personally, for what you paid for the plow, I would Have gone with the snopower F12 or F14. It eliminates the need for a second truck on site and means you can take on more properties. Just my opinion. Enjoy this weekends storm! I know I will.
I just love all the TH-cam know it all's that feel they need to chime in on the way you run YOUR business. 15+ years of plowing and landscaping experience I have my own ideas about things. But I would never be so presumptuous to tell someone else how to run their business.
the only thing I told him to do was to actually go onto the BOSS website, put in the kind of lots he services, and they would 100% advise EXTs. instead he buys Vs just like his grand pappy. it's all good. leaves more properties for other people to service.
Instead of using the magnet for the ford trucks. Have you thought about a headache rack and not using a magnet light bar and just bolting the light bar to the headache rack. If you go this route, you can add some auxiliary lights facing the rear with a switch so when you’re salting or in reserve you get some more illumination down the side of your truck. You might be able to just unscrew the magnet in the light bar then get some self tappers or bolts and attach them to the headache rack. Or they make brackets that mounts inside the third taillight (one above the rear window) and still makes the third taillight functional. And then there’s a flat surface to attach a light bar and is steel if you choose.
I’m wondering if there is ever a good time for a serious snowstorm. But I understand there are better times for plowing. God bless your dad being able and willing to help.
Should put a back up alarm too on the trucks with a switch that you can turn it on and off in the cab but only use it for snow removal during day just to bring extra awareness. Could check with insurance to see if you can get a deduction for having the warning lights and back up alarm.
Hey man! Loving the edition of the back plow! I have a small suggestion that might help your back with shoveling. Any chance you can take off the tailgate of your truck and then put a small single stage snow blower in the bed of the truck nice and light on your back instead of shoveling? Just a thought .. love your content!!
I really enjoy your channel, you have referred to safety in the past. TQ in just black and flashing warning light behind the blade you really need on the roof a warning light
I have to pre face this comment. My snow removal is limited to a big blower on the front of a farm tractor, a walk behind blower and a shovel so I don’t know the plow scene at all. Wouldn’t that large back plow not work better on the front? I am a little confused
They have a brine setup to be able to salt. We run multiple trucks, as you can see. This truck is 40% faster at plowing than our other trucks. Salting takes a little bit of time compared to plowing. The faster we clear a lot, the faster we can salt. As soon as this truck is done, I move on to the next lot. And They finish any detail work and salt and then catch up to me.
Hey Sean how come you haven't put a light bar on that truck for when you're out flowing? Don't you still have the roof-mounted light bars that you had on your other Ford pickups?
Wouldn’t it be easier to put a wide blade up front and plow normally? I thought the back drag blades were more for driveways and areas that you can’t push against like loading docks, garage doors etc. it just seems like a lot more effort to plow backwards. 🤔
I’m gonna agree with @spencerlawncare on this one. We own one of these 16ft blades, but we don’t stack with ours we have a v plows up front that we use that for. Also we run both plows down a lot of the time. Our other truck has a 12ft ebling on the back and a boss v plow with wings on the front. Same thing both plows down. Just a different plowing style then here or there owner of top gun uses, but they accomplish the same job.
The new snow equipment looks cool. You should add some custom safety lights that might be an interesting video. It’s hard to see you out there. Add some lights hook it up. FYI nice enjoyable videos keep making them.
Stay safe y’all! Glad got some warning lights coming for the Chevy. Use to work for company doing neither and Walmart stores n all trucks had boss v plows then either back blade or salt spreader n I always grabbed one with back blade cuz so helpful especially loading docks. Enjoy it and hope it turns out to be great product making made in USA mean something again
Shawn it’s good to see dad out getting it done in addition to you and TQ. You probably already said this but is the GMC gas or diesel. Just curious. I’m really liking that back blade. Excellent work as always. Y’all get ya some rest and be safe careful stay warm and dry and keep up the great work. Bruce in Wv.
I hear a lot people complain about the back blades no where near same quality of work with back blade compared to front mount plows big heavy snow falls back blades are useless from many people say that has them here up north
@SpencerLawnCare that's what I heard here in Canada but I personally don't know how they are as I don't have one. As I only started my business in spring of 2024 so I'm new to the business. I do enjoy your videos tho. What brand of shovells you guys use or recommend to use
I feel for you guys during the storm. I did snow removal about 16 years ago and it was brutal it wasn't so much the manual labor but the hours and I sometimes got only about 2 hours of sleep and worked 12 to 14 hours and what I did was mostly shoveling and salting the sidewalks.
I saw a video that they had a lot of snow and the back blade got the truck stuck maybe they didn't know how to operate it don't know is that the storm from Kansas and Missouri just asking be safe careful cause they still don't know how to drive in the snow when we cleaned lots my machine was the big rubber tired end loader we used at the sand and gravel company took the whole crew out to clean 27 parking lots and parking ramps so was busy don't miss it one bit only the money thanks for posting waiting for update on how it's going be safe and keep warm and hydrated why would tic toc ban it scared to show people working for a honest dollar glad didn't have all that stuff back in the day
Back blades are very efficient due to their blade size. But what everyone seems to forget is you have to have a second truck come by just to salt. That alone makes it not worth it. There is a place for it but not for guys that need a truck to plow then salt.
The way i look at it is like a loader or skid steer, they have to have someone come salt as well. This truck was built specifically to move snow fast. We have 2 other trucks that will be within 10 mins at all times. This vomes at a fraction of the cost of big machines. I give it 2 thumbs up! I love it. And I'm not being paid to say that to be clear. 💪🏼
@@ericriley3147 I don’t know where you get your expertise from. I plowed for more years than you are old. Not having warning lights in view save a lot of problems!
So the truck with the back plow, I noticed you have some room in the bed of that truck. You should seriously think about investing in a Toro paddle blower. They’re freaking amazing as long as you’ve got 7 inches of snow or under. All that shoveling is a killer.
Sean just a question wouldn’t it be a little easier now that you have the new gray pick up truck if you could throw in a small handheld snowblower I have one from Toro actually I have two I bought one my first year which is a single stage I love it to death for the smallest storms 568 inches. It takes it up no problem battery operated and then the second year I bought a two stage Toro that would help you out tremendously on the walkways, buddy save on the old back.👍💪👊🇺🇸
the back blades are best paired with a front blade. not necessarily the way he is using it. Drag to a point, back up a little bit and drop the front blade to push into the pile.
Long time subscribers would know/remember that time he had the light bar fly off the truck and smash out the back window.... And the Ford and Dodge already have lights installed (GRILL AND UNDER TAILGATES)
We got hammer down here in Portsmouth, Oh area. I live about 20 mins east of Portsmouth and we got 10 inches. We thought it hit up north more than down here. Next time I won't thing.😂
I dug out a car at the federal courthouse eighteen foot drifts was fun and time consuming loading as we went cause one of the lots we cleaned got it done after four hours the guy got in his car said im not coming back he was from Texas thanks for posting waiting for update
if you check into GRMS radio's for your trucks it could help you out in your communication from truck to truck and you can get hand held as well. they are inexpensive and worth every penny and the license for them are cheap as well
Hey Shawn My older sister lives in the next town south of us They have an old theater there I don't know how old it is But I think It was built when our great grandparents where teenagers.
Jeepers one side of the country on fire the other side freezing and loads of anow. I was wondering how high the topgun blade lifted then you answered it at the one property. We use to have a downtown Palace also they tore it down to put up a giant rite aid pharmacy. One of the local business owners purchased the sign and at the moment is having it restored. Miss that old theatre.
i told you a few years ago that those Vs are very inefficient for what you were doing. you replied that they work good for you. I told you that even Boss would tell you to get an EXT. now you have a hydraulic wing plow and found out what you were missing. welcome to the club, better late than never.
Exactly I feel like v plows are over rated unless your plowing a huge amount of snow at one time and you need to bust through drifts. But if you keep up with the snow an expandable plow ifls the way to go for commercial lots
I think it's awesome that you have the relationship with your dad that you do my father gave up on us when I was 6 I'm 43 now and still to this day have no relationship with him
MY BROTHER . can i let u kno a thought here SUPER BRIGHT YELLOW FLASHING LITES ON TOP of truck would help a lot especially when u in middle of shift change with heavy traffic around u ya u can add some green up there too
id love to see youse try one of those new arctics which are made for trucks and run it on the front of the ford or the dodge. almost as big as the back drag blades like your top gun but still allows you to run a salter. would be a beast of a setup on the ford and the ram. a similar set up to what stan dirt monkey has started to use now that hes getting into salt
Why no flashing lights on the truck?
This is the recently purchased GMC. No lights have been installed on it yet.
Thanks again friend for the video i injoy watching the video
:25 could buy and amber roof like im assuming the gmc is steel body truck so wont have issue like with the fords Shawn has. They sell OKish ones them at box auto part stores.
And should get a headache rack for the fords to mount a light bar that doesn’t have magnets on it to the headache rack. And will help protect the back window and won’t interfere with the salters
Should at least have 4 ways on
I tried a rear plow lasted 1/2 season and turned around and bought a 12 ft front v blade

The top gun and the smooth operator makes it look easy stay safe out there God Bless
Need a strobe light
@paulslawncare30 working on it. I have a whole light setup. Just haven't had the time.
@@SpencerLawnCare don’t you still have the magnet ones from the fords
@@9660deereeven if he has he still needs time to fit them. He and Savannah seem to be working nearly 24 hours a day, so why not give them some peace.
Good to see your dad helping out this year.
He loves doing it. Hes a big help
Hey Team Spencer, more snow coming to Cincinnati on Friday!
They are on the complete opposite end of the state than Cincinnati
You need to put strob lights on your truck a light bar be nice green and white
We will for sure

U know yall can send this snow to the desert in Cali lol we'd love it
Good Evening Team Spencer stay safe
Hey! Have a great night
Great shots! Really shows how much you pay attention when you plow! Stay safe Team Spencer!
Thank you!
We have had no snow here in Indiana glad I didn't buy a plow and new truck yet stay safe Spencer's be safe
This year is definitely making up for the lack of snow the last couple years.
Long time viewer........But
Let's Go Longhorns🫵🏽👊🏽 🤘🏽
Go Buckeyes!
You guys always due such a great job no matter how bad it is Really enjoy your work ethic
Thank you Bruce we appreciate that. Have a good night
You need safety Lights to let people you are there you cannot see your truck
We just got some they will be installed
Should put a back up alarm too on the trucks with a switch that you can turn it on and off in the cab but only use it for snow removal during day just to bring extra awareness. Could check with insurance to see if you can get a deduction for having the warning lights and back up alarm.
I've been plowing for 20 years with no blinking lights....never saw the need for them...truck comes from the factory with all the lights you need
Great teamwork you guy's 👏 .
All 3 trucks running doing various things awesome. Be safe and hope you get your salt delivery soon.
Hey man! Loving the edition of the back plow! I have a small suggestion that might help your back with shoveling.

Hey Sean is there a way I can talk two u bout the the black plow have so many questions for u seeing as u have used it lil bit thanks man
@bryanwise53 id recommend reaching out to topgunblades.com they could probably answer your questions better then me.
@@SpencerLawnCare ok I was hoping for some real test questions from a actual user lol
Glad your Dad is helping
That huge storm you have coming I need in wisconsin we have no snow.
You guys plan on putting a front plow?
No I think we will just run it like this for now.
I have to pre face this comment. My snow removal is limited to a big blower on the front of a farm tractor, a walk behind blower and a shovel so I don’t know the plow scene at all. Wouldn’t that large back plow not work better on the front? I am a little confused
Hello Spencers
@@sarah-ken hello
Dont get it. $12000.00. Can't salt. Need two trucks. How's it faster if it takes two trucks the same amount of time?

The faster we clear a lot, the faster we can salt. As soon as this truck is done, I move on to the next lot. And They finish any detail work and salt and then catch up to me.
10k for a 9,2 plow compared to 12k for 16 feet, almost double the plowing with for a little more money.
Hey Sean how come you haven't put a light bar on that truck for when you're out flowing? Don't you still have the roof-mounted light bars that you had on your other Ford pickups?
We just got something. Installing soon.

The auger belt snapped
I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you can get it back working before then.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Shawn, what are your thoughts on the Sno Power plow and any interest in adding it to your fleet ??
Without correct lighting your putting your FAMILY in jeopardy 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☦️
I would have a Small to Medium Yellow/ Green Light on TOP of the Truck
So you can be Seen by Other Drivers.
Do you guys have a way of scraping say 1/4" of ice off sidewalks, or do you just salt and wait for the magic to happen?
For that we would just salt and let it do its job. but once it does we would go back and clean up all the melt off so it doesn't re freeze
I wish we could get some snow in wi we have nothing it's sad
I'll try and send some your way lol
Happy snow wensday
May be stressful, but you guys are pros and can handle it.
That rear plow puts in great work! Have a great evening
Love your work but my commets never gets no likes from team Spencer

Hey Spencer’s great video as usual keep us the great work and stay warm👍
That new plow seems.to make a good production change. Makes things quicker
Top gun is cool, you need a boss plow on the front to stack piles
I think that back blade is so much more efficient than a front mounted blade!

Have you ever thought about putting a plow in-front of the truck with the back plow to plow snow better?
Doesn't it just drive you crazy when you are trying to push snow and people see what you are trying to get your work done
So the truck with the back plow, I noticed you have some room in the bed of that truck. You should seriously think about investing in a Toro paddle blower. They’re freaking amazing as long as you’ve got 7 inches of snow or under. All that shoveling is a killer.
