Metalpless VS Arctic! Head to head snowplowing SHOWDOWN 4 k video

What happens here

The snow plowing competition begins with Hunter (Metal Pless) and Tim (Arctic) starting simultaneously. Hunter, driving the Cat 257D skid steer with the Metal Pless plow, demonstrates proficient use of his plow's adjustable wings to effectively clear snow from around obstacles like light poles and parked vehicles. The terrain includes a layer of ice underneath the snow, making conditions slippery and challenging. Hunter meticulously back-drags around a parked car and then proceeds to consolidate his snow pile towards the designated central area.

Goal: Demonstrate the Metal Pless plow's effectiveness in clearing snow around obstacles and consolidating piles under icy conditions.

Tools and materials

  • Cat 257D Skid Steer Loader CAT — Operating the snow plow
  • Metal Pless Sno-Plow Metal Pless — Clearing snow
  • Snow and Ice N/A — The material being cleared

hunter you ready okay three two one go so the rules are simple they're not allowed to push snow over any curved lines they've got a back drag all of the snow away from the buildings away from all the instructions all of the curved lines and push it down to one central location all scared voters will be pushing a stockpile of snow but two completely different lost now one of the things that you can't see in this video is that there was three days of rain sleet and ice before it turned to snow so underneath this snowbank it's slick and that's going to affect the performance of both machines but it's going to affect them both oh ho look at that oh oh there's a look at that hole that was tight I like it I like it no slip and it's like neither oh yeah okay no yes now at this point I'm watching how slick this metal plus works with those wings and I'm thinking Tim is in trouble Hunter's off to a strong start and within just a few minutes he's already cleared around his first curb line and back trade away from his first main obstacle let's go visit Tim and see how he's doing all right two one no go go go so let's talk about some of the main differences between these two snowploughs the metal plus has wings that can go forward as a box they can go wide out or they can look backwards as a back dragon unit the Arctic is stationary but the Arctic side wings will go up and down allowing you to go right on top of sidewalks and back-drag right off from them getting a hundred percent clean straight right 100 percent maybe much but I'll tell you straight up it's a nice neat scrape right off from the the sidewalks another big difference between these two snowplows just so you guys know if you're considering both the metal plus that we're up against in this video requires two hydraulic hoses to connect up and an electric pin to connect up so just so you guys can wrap your head around this in you ever blow out hydraulic hose or the electrical system has a problem your metal class then becomes a stationary snowplow lock into whatever present last position it was in the Arctic requires no hookups whatsoever other than just connecting into the plow itself through the the back drag from Claire the back plate there's no hydraulic hoses or pins other electrical connections to me so Tim and Hunter are knocking their detail work out first so let's go over to hunters where he's got his biggest challenge coming up yeah so right here is where it's gonna get real tricky this is gonna…
