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

What happens here

To properly set the attack angle of the V-plow, extend the plow into a full 'V' position. Place a small piece of wood or a thin object beneath the plow's cutting edge. The goal is to ensure the entire cutting edge is touching the ground evenly, leaving no gaps. If there's a gap, or if the cutting edge is not evenly touching the ground, adjustments are needed. The attack angle is primarily set by the plow's design and chassis, but the carry height adjustment (chain length) influences how the plow sits on the ground.

Goal: Ensure the plow's cutting edge makes even contact with the ground for optimal scraping.

What they say

want to know how these guys can do it so when you guys buy one whether you buy these guys or boss or whoever you can just check to see how that goes for yourself all the way out so the first thing we do is get all the way out you can do it either way set it all the way through okay see other than right there flat all the way through no light no nothing when they're off you'll actually have it where the ends of ends of the cutting edge or there's a gap there okay or if it's vice versa you'll see that we're right in the middle of the center section here you're gonna have it you're gonna have a gap in here that determines which way the adjustments need to go and you when you're setting the truck Heights or anything like that okay I see a minor gap right there does that make it different that's because it's sitting out a little bit right here didn't on the yeah okay just a little bit so and that could be imperfections in the concrete because I see some over there and so yeah it's that's one of the hardest it's very noticeable when it's way off okay no and there's a little bit to this very minor adjustment said to get that out you don't need to right okay you definitely don't need to worry okay there's no shoes on this one a lot it's a lot of manufacturers have been going to if you want shoes you can add that on but I would say probably 70% of the people that we do pose for don't want them because they want as much cutting power as possible I can't run shoes it'll save your plow life it'll extend your cutting edge forever compared to running without shoes but when you run with shoes you also have that little minutiae of snow that's left behind and not that minutiae of snow especially in Minnesota where we get a big temperature fluctuations freezes thaws freezes thaws and becomes a slick of ice and that's a slip and fall hazard to be waiting so we've got to scrape down to as bare concrete as possible every single time we go out to an event we can't have shoes the thing is the science-minded pounds per square inch if you take and you start taking away how much force is on the ground it's kind of like trying to cut with a dull razor you know it's not gonna do nearly as well as when you guys start doubling up on cutting edges and things like you take away the straight power one thing great about these is they actually have a really nice size cutting edge on them so they it does cut down really fast and really nice okay I don't see a center puck in there no and…
