Arctics (2025 Version) Plow is on another level!

What happens here

The plow's wings can be positioned in different configurations. When folded back, the plow measures 8.5 feet wide, which is the legal limit for vehicle width. When the wings are fully extended, the plow achieves a width of 12 feet, offering substantial snow-pushing power. The wings can also be angled to form a rear containment plow, which is highly effective for back-dragging snow out of loading docks or parking spots without immediately spilling snow off the straight blade. Each wing operates independently, allowing for precise control and efficient snow management along curblines, preventing snow from rolling back onto cleared areas.

Goal: Demonstrate the various plow wing positions and their applications.

hunting spot. The Arctic boys are ahead of the game. Is that everything, Johnny? No. Wait, wait, there's more. >> Well, wait, there's more. Okay, so as I said with our whole setup or our hookup, everything's all easy to get to with the hoses, the whole deal. Each moldboard has the spring-loaded trip edge. This is a very stiff rubber but yet flexible allows the snow to be able to roll. With the wings, Yep. >> we can do multiple things with the wings. Now, with the wings fully folded back from side to side, we are at 8 and 1/2 ft which is your legal limit. Now, with doing that, you have now made yourself a rear containment plow for being able to backtrack out of loading docks, out of parking spots and have somewhere where it's not immediately spilling off your straight blade pulling all that snow back. All right? Back around to the front. With the wings fully out, we are at 12 ft all the way across the front. That's a lot of snow pushing power right there. >> Yep. In the scoop mode, we are just over 11 ft plus we have full articulation both ways. Now, something that's great, a lot of guys deal with this. Your sidewalk crews go and clean the walks off, they have all the snow against the curb line and you run down there with just a straight blade on an angle. What happens? 50% or more of that snow rolls right up onto the sidewalk and then they have to go back again. What's great with this is each wing operates individually. Now, if you look at this setup, you can see the square of the truck. Now, this wing is grabbing right off the curb line not allowing anything to roll back up on the curb, running it off the side, kicking it out all the way past the truck. The best part about this unit is this unit right here works perfectly on a dually or a 1-ton truck as well because of the fact that the wings kick
