Exclusive Tour of Sno-Power's One-of-a-Kind Snow Plows

What happens here

The team demonstrates various functions of the newly installed Sno-Power plows on the presenter's truck. They begin by showing the back plow's down pressure system, lifting the truck using the plow itself. They then showcase the back plow's active cutting edges, which pivot to contour to the ground, and demonstrate how to fold the wing out. Next, they move to the front V-plow, illustrating the 'double-tap' feature that extends both wings simultaneously for a full straight-blade configuration. They then show the V-plow in transport mode, where the entire plow is lifted above the truck's undercarriage for maximum ground clearance, and V-mode for slicing through heavy snow. The clear vision panels on the wings, designed for DOT safety regulations, are highlighted, as well as the integrated LED light bar for superior visibility. Finally, they demonstrate the quick and easy attachment and detachment process for the front plow, using pins and jack stands.

Goal: Showcase the advanced features and ease of use of the new Sno-Power back and front plows on a truck.

Tiny's doing. Tiny, you got that thing done yet? Yes, sir. All right, let's see her run. So, now this has down pressure in the back, right Rick? >> Yeah, it has down pressure and that's how much it can lift on the way up and the down pressure. If we turned it up, we could change the tires up there. Okay, put it all the way down. You have a Now, you have a lockout pin on the back, which is right here. And that'll That keeps the whole blade from going kitty-wampus underneath it, right? >> up and the down stop. So, it only goes down so far. So, if you're pushing backwards, it won't just fold under the truck. It limits it. >> Okay. And then on the way up, it stops so that it won't block the tailgate. Let's see the active cutting edge. So, you've also lowered the actual control box so you can see over it from the back now as well. Now, we're looking at this This is called an active cutting edge. So, this is what we're talking about contouring to uneven ground. Flip the wing out once, Rick. Let me see how she operates. >> So, even when you get pretty cuz right now we've got a pretty aggressive pitch right here. So, you're still fully engaged with the ground with that cutting edge. And you've got you've also changed the light design. So, now you've got better lighting onto the side wing. So, when you're plowing you can see it better. Yep. Okay? Perfect. Okay, Rick. So, show me that center moldboard. What did you do with that? Yeah, this is the active cutting edge. It's a little stiff until the powder coat goes. So, you can see our center section moves back and forth 3/4 of an inch and we got the carbide. And so, the whole thing floats. So, let's run through the uh rest of it. That's our double tap and hold. Both wings come out at the same time. Okay. This is in transport mode. Hit plow mode. And the plow postures and now it's ready to go plowing. You can plow down. And you can see the active cutting edges. When he lifts the cutting edges lift. It follows the terrain 100%. Now, didn't you do something with the side moldboards right back here as well? Yes, if you're going along a curb, this rib is not straight on the plow like all the everybody else. We put it on an angle so that it rides along the curb. So, all the cutting edge is off and you don't wear the back of your plow. >> So, let's show them a transport mode and then let's light it up once. And then that's the push cylinder being put into transport mode hydraulically. I call it…
