What happens here

This video documents the challenging process of clearing a parking lot covered in hard-packed snow and ice using a SnoPower F12 snow plow. The project highlights the plow's ability to effectively scrape and remove stubborn ice in a single pass, a significant improvement over previous plows which tended to 'float' over the ice. The video showcases various plowing techniques, including downhill, uphill, and maneuvering around tight corners, concluding with a positive review of the plow's performance and unique nitrogen-filled shock absorbers.

so what happens is with this lot is the cars don't leave for two days afterwards and so that means they're coming in and parking and scraping and this is let's get it this beats up the truck so bad so it's going to be a little bit of a challenge for the f-12 we'll see how she does you think that'll be a good camera angle this way but I can't climb the hill and push so I gotta actually switch right about at this point I got a switch and I gotta go downhill I just I I can't scrape this hard pack up and get it to golf [Music] foreign [Music] you could actually get down Force pressure with this one I always got to push the snow Banks way far back over here because it's December 1st you know how far this goes back up high oh yeah I'm gonna go on the record saying that this plow scrapes better than any plow I've ever used in my life I would never guessed that I would be able to get this far on this lot with this view passes I'm gonna do something really mean to you yeah well make it make you stand make me stand on the plow as they're going now that's gonna be stuck in your head all day it's always stuck in my head and then I have kids under seven well actually eight now baby shark all right we got hey will you move that cone over there though yeah I think it was just in the corner I didn't I looked underneath it I didn't see anything thank you [Music] that curve under here somewhere right underneath your front tire [Music] better than I thought it would not also not bad on hard path all right I'm gonna start stacking it up in the corner [Music] foreign [Music] all right I think that'll do it eh why is the Lobby closed a lot of Staffing right now nobody wants to work nobody wants to work right now it's everywhere out here it's noon [Applause] and we can't go inside to go eat at Taco Bell I've plowed this account for 32 maybe 35 years somewhere in there after so long you just forget how long it's been and this is the cleanest scrape that I've ever been able to get on this lot the other plows that I've always have used in the past they tend to float up and over the ice meaning you're going back then you're cutting again and you're going back and you're cutting again this thing just bit once shaved it off and I was so used to not being able to do that that I automatically would just go back and hit it again and hit it again not realizing I'm wasting time so there's a little bit of you see me going back and forth back and forth and not doing a whole lot that's because I'm not used to being done in one swipe I'm just not used to that and so there's a few other things I got to get used to this is the snow power F12 they also have a snow power F-14 and the actual cylinders that are the shock absorbers for this plow I think are filled with nitrogen and the reason he said that he has them filled with nitrogen is because they respond faster and it gives you a better cush and at first I thought it was just a bunch of hooyah right when uh Rick the owner of snow power told me this and you saw me hit curbs here and I've this is decem the middle of December right now and we're going on our eighth or ninth snow plow already this year uh three or four of those were just I mean it's let me let me qualify what I mean today is Tuesday and I started plowing snow a week ago today and we haven't stopped we took Sunday off but we've plowed the last seven days in a row straight and we had four or five events before this last week of plowing and tomorrow morning we're getting eight to ten inches starting with 40 and 50 mile an hour winds coming so the plow I've had a chance to really use and abuse it just this last year no that's not the true test of time but it's also gone above and beyond this is a brand new unit I'm so impressed loving infatuated with it I'm over that stage and I'm into the stage of is this thing going to actually perform and this test today was one of those tests that it did well beyond what I expected it to but now I've rambled on too long and half of you guys tuned out and I don't blame you I would have tuned out but that's all we got for you on this one if you enjoyed these videos the thumbs up goes a long way and I will catch you guys on another one God bless go get em you guys and uh enjoy I hope you're enjoying your weather wherever it is I'd love to hear what what your weather's like you got to hear what mine is like and what's coming now I want to hear what's coming your way catch you on the next one you guys
