What happens here

Cal demonstrates the truck-mounted Defiance Snowplow. When fully retracted and folded behind the main blade, it acts as an 8.5-foot straight blade, suitable for easy transport through drive-thrus and tight spaces. The plow's wings can then independently extend to a full 14-foot straight plow configuration or pitch forward into a 12-foot scoop, offering versatility for various snow removal tasks. The truck-mounted plow weighs approximately 1230 pounds.

Goal: Understand the versatility of the Defiance Snowplow's adjustable blade system for different snow removal scenarios.
