What happens here

The rapid coupling and uncoupling process is demonstrated. To uncouple, the operator raises the plow's rack unit, then presses an 'unlock' button which retracts the locking pins. The rack unit is then lowered, and the truck backs away from the plow. To couple, the truck approaches the plow, the rack is raised, the pins are extended using the 'lock' button, and finally, the rack is lowered to secure the plow. The main pump and headlight unit is constructed from aluminum, contributing to a total weight of just over 1200 pounds on the front end of the truck, which is comparable to or slightly higher than competitive manufacturers.

Goal: Demonstrate quick and easy plow attachment/detachment.

Tools and materials

  • Control Buttons — Operating the hydraulic functions for coupling
  • GMC Pickup Truck GMC — Vehicle for mounting and operating the plow

Your pump and headlight unit is all aluminum putting you just barely over 1,200 lb for weight on the front end of a truck which is slightly higher than competitive manufacturers. And now you also have side beams. Yes, we just
