NEW loaders, Skids, and Plows at the Northern Green Exo.

What happens here

Dustin from Top Notch Equipment discusses the snow plowing setup for a Manitou skid steer, outfitted with 19.5-inch snow tires from Westside Tire. He highlights the Fisher Speedwing plow, which intelligently adjusts its shape (from C-plow to straight) as the machine turns, powered by a reliable cable system (rather than hydraulics for the wings). Dustin notes that Manitou and Mustang skid steers are identical except for branding, and he expresses satisfaction with the cable system's durability over three years. He also shares insights on the current market for loaders, mentioning a shortage of new units and the upcoming availability of used models after winter rentals return.

Goal: Understand optimal snow plowing setups for skid steers and the mechanics of the Fisher Speedwing plow.
