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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video details the differences between the two plow types, specifically focusing on the Arctic's fixed blade design with independent, movable wings controlled by hydraulics, compared to the Metal Pless's ability to angle the entire plow as well as its individual wings. The concept of carbide cutting edges, which are highly durable and long-lasting, is also discussed for the Metal Pless plow. The operators then review the rules for the comparison: each operator will clear half of a parking lot, back-dragging around curbs and obstacles, and pushing all snow to a central pile.

Goal: Highlight key differences in snow plow design and establish rules for the plowing competition.

difference between these two setups well I think Mike the track and the ASB is longer and wider all right so let's get let's get a little bit straight but ASV makes the tracks for the cat to 50 70 or at least they bought the licensing and blah blah blah so the biggest difference is really going to be the pin the pushers themselves at this point same horsepower same tracks so it's gonna be you and we'll get you familiar with the lot first so we're gonna let you kind of walk through the lot check it out and when you're ready to go we're gonna we're gonna have a one-off and here comes the guy that you're gonna you're gonna be we're gonna be taking on Tim's pulling up right now let's meet them hey Tim you gotta come check out this metal plus and meet hunter Tim one hunter hunter Tim so hunter show us around show Tim around your metal plus so we got an idea whole thing and then each individual died brakes or trip edge here which sections of trip edge these are carved by the other carbons seven hundred dollars for each resource Oh 700 hours back to our bucks oh yeah yeah I've heard guys go five six seven years without change in a blade out on these I mean this thing felt like a beat I mean everything heavy duty like it's the only thing I want to change your daddy's cylinders or the Ram trailer Walker unprotected again I'm sure they make them the one thing I like about the Arctic's that I don't know how the metal plus is going to do is you see that moldboard on the Arctic's that rolls snow so nice that we can get a monster pile in front of us and it just keeps rolling it out and it allows us to keep going when we should have been stuck I don't know how that works for you out of metal plus yeah and that thing is the best thing it for rolling snow but I mean everything else about the two machines is identical except for it's gonna be up to it's going to be Tim u versus Hunter so when you want to go when you want to curl either wing in you can just hit a button in the cab right all right so we're gonna have some fun what we're gonna be doing is we're gonna each give you guys your own lot and then you got to back drag your own curbs and push up into the pile both Lots are about the same size have almost identical obstructions a little bit different layout but this isn't a perfect world where we can get two identical twin lots side by each we just don't have that but we got as close as we're gonna get to machines about equal and let's just see how these things perform…
