Arctic’s Razorback: The Ultimate Snow Beast !

What happens here

The video explains the concept of 'float position' for the plow and introduces an optional counterbalance kit. This kit, designed to be placed in the back of the truck, helps distribute weight evenly and brings the truck's front axle back into factory specifications, preventing overloading. It's emphasized that while a counterbalance is often recommended for plows, this kit is an optional solution for achieving optimal balance.

Goal: Explain float mode and the counterbalance option.

check the owner's manuals of other manufacturers plows it will go in and talk about the recommended amount of counterbalance you need to put in the bed of the truck because when you're running around with no weight in the B of the truck and a plow on the front is probably going to be overweight so you technically need to have counterweight if you want your axle to be under that you know manufacturer prescribed qbw rating okay so like an empty Superduty rolls around I don't know like 50 320 lb in the front axle you put an 800 lb snow plow on it you're overweight so if you read in the owner manuals of these other manufacturers plows it says Hey for this plow you we recommend generally you know 700 lb of counterweight in the bet most guys are running spreaders and everything or other they're running around with salt we with razor back testing trucks and filming we don't need Salters and we don't need salt in bed the trucks so we created these to kind of do that for us and then we brought one to a trade show and people really like the idea so we said okay we we'll offer that to them and that puts it back in Factory spec yes basically what it's doing is you're you're putting a almost 1300 lb plow 1,200 some pounds on the front end of it and then instead of being out of balance now you're you're getting it back to Factory spec almost better than Factory spec it's in some trucks depending on how much of the weight you put on the back you can give even more to the rear and a thing I mean you'll drive it it floats down the road drives very balanced has a lot of traction you kind of don't really know it's there obviously you do but yeah just it just Smooths out the ride it is very smooth is that everything for this plow cuz wait there's more I'm not here just for the the new razor back but did we cover everything with this one I think so yeah think so I think so oh yeah okay okay there's a plow another plow we're picking up that's a specialty plow and I
