Plowing in a loader. #snowplowing

What happens here

From the truck's cab, the driver demonstrates the functionality of a Boss plow controller. This includes: activating transport mode to lift and retract the plow wings for safe travel, switching to plow mode to prepare for snow removal, dropping the plow, and angling the wings for 'scoop mode' (pushing snow straight ahead). The driver notes the controller's intuitive layout, making operations easy, even after long hours.

Goal: Showcase the functionality and ease of use of the plow controller.

Tools and materials

  • Boss Plow Controller Boss — Operating the truck-mounted snow plow
  • Ram Truck Ram — Host vehicle for the snow plow

testing testing all right well you guys are like legitimately right in front of my eyes I don't think I can get this any closer to what it looks like for me if it seems like oh man you can't quite see that plow it's because you can't quite see that plow not even from the cab see that hood Pop I can't quite see it all right we're still doing open UPS we don't really have enough snow here but I guess the gist of what we're showing you here is how well the the control is really super easy layout on this this is a boss controller and boss has a beautiful intuitive controller for their plows wait a minute this is not a boss controller [Music] it's a boss hookup but I think they used I don't know you know what somebody correct me I don't I'm not 100 sure because this has what's called a transport mode and basically what that does is that raises the let me just show you [Music] bring your wings in you hit transport mode and see how the Wings come up that keeps your wings from dragging on the ground not very effective when you're trying to plow so then you got a plow button mode but let's we're going into plow mode then we go down then we angle our left wing out which is the button over here we'll angle the right wing out now we're in scoop mode now we just go all the way down but we're just going to capture all we're doing is capturing the the drive planes as much as we possibly can and pushing them up up and away pretty much [Music] probably one of the [Music] one of the whether this is a boss controller or not I don't know I just know it works and I know that though that for a long day of plowing you want an easy controller that's for sure and we come to the end of our run we lift up early peel them Wings back now we're gonna actually move to another lot so we're just gonna partially transport it all I'm doing is angling the backs of those blades up bringing them in I just don't want those to drag the Ram truck after a couple of years here I'd say it's a pretty darn good snowplow truck but definitely 37 000 miles uh I've had problems with stuff that's been out of warranty just because the age of the truck not because of the mileage so I don't know I think I'm gonna buy the next the next one's gonna be a Ford I want to try that Godzilla I think with the diesel fuel shortages that are supposedly going on I don't know that kind of freaks me out maybe it doesn't freak you guys out but freaks me out of course what differences make of its diesel fuel or something…
