Boss Snowplow -Failure after failure in The Back Drag Pro

What happens here

The video concludes with a final summary of the BOSS Drag Pro's performance, reiterating that despite the dealer's responsiveness, the repeated failures (92 breakdowns, structural damage, control issues) make the product unacceptable. The reviewer advises potential buyers to look for plows with stronger hydraulic cylinders, better reinforcement on wear points, and potentially different shear pin philosophies (like those from Snowdogg or Short Iron). He expresses hope that his insights will help others make informed decisions.

Goal: Deliver a concluding evaluation and suggest product improvements

Tools and materials

  • BOSS Drag Pro Snowplow BOSS — The subject of the concluding review
  • Heavier Gusseting N/A — Suggested improvement for reinforcing the X-frame
  • Rubber Pads N/A — Suggested for pivot points to prevent metal-on-metal wear
  • Stronger Hydraulic Cylinders N/A — Suggested improvement for better lifting capability

another front plow definitely I've had great luck with it yes I've had I ran boss for decades awesome customer service awesome front clouds I seen this design and red flake started popping up all over and when you when I started to go on Instagram I seen guy after guy that was running these things breaking their plows and they're like that's good as a box plow and I'm like I'm screaming and going it's not supposed to be a box plow it's supposed to be a 16 foot pole plow it's supposed to increase your productivity and then you randomly sent me an email out of the blue and I'm like I called you back and you agreed to drive what 300 miles down here so 200 miles okay but 400 mile round-trip so thank you for that and we're actually going to show this thing in action put a couple of we're talking about the controllers versus the between the snow power and the boss and he liked the boss like it's all very simple let's go look at it yeah I've got it our controllers are a remote control and after you get used to it jumped right in I've got a taste to my joystick okay which one is it Mike one on the right just back Paul this is it yeah it's a nice controller it's very simple very easy to use oh that is nice controller holy crap I'm looking at the x-ray and looking at so it's similar to how some of that x-frame dump truck bodies I see that I'm not I don't I'm not all right you know what I think I want you guys tell me what you guys think of that I think I want you to look at here close you can see the how the paint is chipped off here yep you see this this square tube is part of the mounting bracket that's a sharp edge here yeah when it's up all the way it actually puts like a knife cut into the square to and what the boss told me when that extreme tore apart first of all he said yeah we broke one just like that in testing and he said I know of another one that broke like that it wasn't like this was something new there's also been a documented case where one of these back drag plows was ripped entirely off from the back of the vehicle part of the problem is this pull plow even though it's under a lot of load and a lot of weight is only held on with four half inch bolts so that X frame is not only cracking but it's also literally ripping itself apart under a load like you see right here and he said I think that there's so much excess pressure on that lift when it gets to stop that it's actually pulling on the mounting hole down here yeah and that's what initiates…
