How to PICK the RIGHT snowplow
What happens here
The discussion briefly touches on Western plows. Alex expresses his preference for Western plows, calling himself a 'Western guy.' Tim agrees, noting their reliability over many years with proper maintenance. The presenter recounts a negative experience with Western's cutting edges on MVP3 V-plows, stating they wore out unusually fast, even on multiple trucks during a mild season. He advises against upgrading to Western's 'fancy cutting edge' and instead recommends investing in a 'Winter cutting edge' for better durability. The group then debates the Western controller, with Alex favoring its intuitive clicks and double-clicks for wing retraction, while the presenter admits to getting 'lost' with its complex functionality, preferring Heineker's simpler thumb joystick design.
Goal: Review Western plows, focusing on their durability, cutting edge, and the usability of their controller.
