Snowdogg snowplows- How do they compare with Fisher, Boss & Western

What happens here

To adjust the plow's carry height, you need to adjust the chains that lift the plow. The SnowDogg V-Plow uses a chain lift system, which offers the advantage of being able to manually lift and chain up the plow if the hydraulic system ever fails, allowing you to drive to a repair shop. When adjusting the chains, ensure you are in a safe location and the plow is in the desired position. This adjustment affects the 'float' distance when the plow is lowered.

Goal: Adjust the plow's carry height using the chain lift system.

Tools and materials

  • Plow Chains — Lifting and securing the plow
  • Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Truck Ram — The vehicle the plow is attached to
  • SnowDogg VXF II V-Plow SnowDogg Buyers — The snow plow being adjusted

fails you can lift the plow up you can chain it up and you can drive it to a repair shop a little bit easier to work on that way when you can actually get it inside someplace warm with some tools so if you do need a little bill of having to do that if you want yeah one link so we're not never see a ton but we got more okay so that's pretty simple to do absolutely on the Western I know that I had a lot of we're on the cutting edge people were saying well they installer didn't set the right angle when he was putting the blade on and westerns are a little I think finicky like that and they're kind of set I mean most they don't have the adjustments up and down for the most part you can do it on the plow you can adjust the plow to it okay but it all changes with the guys switch out their tires a leveling kit anything like that biggest thing that you want to do is set it you know it in your in your V in your scoop and make sure you're cutting edges they're touching all the way through equally and you don't have any you know flare-up flare down to that's a big thing as well okay so that's the main thing so when you guys are setting your plow can we actually show how you guys have this plow set to make sure that you got the right angle because I actually want to know how these guys can do it so
