BATTLE of the SNOW PLOWS Hiniker vs Western

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter identifies a major drawback of the Hiniker Scoop Plow: the difficulty of hooking it up to the truck. He describes a 'weird little lever system' featuring a small 'ear' that must be lined up 'EXACTLY' with the truck's frame. This alignment process is so challenging that it often requires 'two guys and a skid steer' to correctly attach the plow. Because of this, the Hiniker plows are typically installed on November 15th and remain on the trucks until April 15th, rather than being frequently attached and detached.

Goal: Understand the difficulties associated with attaching and detaching the Hiniker Scoop Plow from a truck.

Tools and materials

Well, let's talk about the negative thing. It's hooking up to these things. Although it's a bomb diggity once you get it on, it's a bear cap to actually get it hooked up. They have this weird little lever system and they got a little ear right there and that ear hooks into the frame and that's what actually connects the plow to the truck. Now, they say you're able to drive right into it. That's not true. It takes two guys and a skid loader to hook one of these snow plows up. In fact, when we get a Heineker snow plow hooked up to a truck, we put them on November 15th. They do not come off until April 15th. That's how tough they are. But let's
