Epic Install! Unveiling our NEW snowplow!

What happens here

With the truck reassembled, position the snow plow in front of the truck's mount. Use the plow's integrated hydraulic jack to carefully align the plow with the truck's receiving hitch points. Once aligned, insert the retaining pins to secure the plow to the truck. Connect the electrical wiring harness from the truck to the plow. Next, access the cabin and grab the snow plow controller. Operate the controller to test all functions: raise and lower the plow, angle the wings left and right, move the plow into a full scoop position, and return it to a straight position. Observe the plow's movement and the synchronized operation of the heated LED lights and lighted whips. Demonstrate the plow's backdragging capabilities.

Goal: Connect the snow plow to the truck, verify electrical functions, and test all articulation movements.

What they say

for the new Arctic. Come on in. Let's see how this works. Hooking up needs to come forward just a titch to get her right. >> It might roll back when I put it in park. >> It did roll back when you put it in park. >> It's got this nice hydraulic jack on it. Still got some burrs on the mount from being so new. That jack is thick. >> Yeah, it is really nice. So, >> all right, let's let's see your operate. Well, Alex, who does not professionally install snow plows for a living, took about one afternoon to install this. We teamed up with Arctic out of Canada to produce 20 of these. And the difference is, you see these side wings? They're larger than the typical side wings that they offer on their other containment plows, giving you a greater ability to hold more snow and push more snow at the same time. You can find these in our shop at the Dirt Monkey shop. [snorts] Let's keep watching this thing. >> Marker light there. >> So, the actual marker lights go hand in hand with the blinkers. Yeah, I have plow envy now. I like it. So, we've got the This is the by design, right? >> Yeah. The the lighted whips come so that they sink up with the special for this plow. Yeah. >> And it's an actual true scoop. I like these simple plows. One of my favorite plows of all time was the Heineker C scoop. >> Yeah. >> And that that you couldn't control. You couldn't >> was always in scoop. >> Was always scoop. You always knew you were gathering snow no matter what you had to do. But this is just like that except for better now with more options. A galvanized frame all the way right from that's galvanized including what you put on the truck is galvanized. The mounted too. Yeah, >> the mount is galvanized. It's got a hydraulic jack on it. >> That was the nicest looking mount I've ever seen. like for just a lot of times you just see them sticking way down or you know there's two horns sticking out for like kind of western you can take the shoes off and they look clean but that just looks nice >> and it's got a super solid connection. >> Oh yeah. >> I mean I always learned that when you want to put two boards together, you don't lick and stick them and slap one on top of the other. If you drive a bolt through them, they're going to stay. And that's pretty much all these guys did was drove a bolt a solid pin all the way through. And that hydraulic jack, I've never seen that on…
