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

What happens here

To unhook the snow plow from the truck, first ensure the kickstands are down. Locate the lever at the base of the plow's connection to the truck and pull it back to release the kickstands, which can be adjusted to the desired height. Next, unhook the safety chains that secure the plow to the truck's frame. Then, remove the two main pins connecting the plow to the truck's hitch plate by pulling them out. Carefully disconnect the electrical and hydraulic connections by pulling the large electrical connector apart and then the two hydraulic line connectors. Finally, drive the truck forward, away from the detached plow. Remember to keep the plow in float mode by pressing the 'down' button on the controller until it turns blue.

Goal: Safely detach the snow plow from the truck.

pin his locks into this doesn't move by your pollen okay that you just pull out so you rocked it forward just to release the down pressure on it and your weight will cause in a wedge a little bit [Music] so so can you actually back it away will I want to actually see how this I want to actually get a kind of a an idea of the separation and then I want to watch you hook it back up no pressure well 260,000 people on YouTube are not watching you [Music] all right so you've got dielectric grease in there as we probably all know but why not repeat simple lessons so when you store your snowplow we always dielectric grease all of the connections unless there's something new or better that you could recommend well no we just use that electrically seems to work really well the brown dielectric grease Brown yeah it's got out it's got like a little oil base to it okay if you ever find that stuff that's the best stuff you'll agree what's what brand name do you use I can tell you one that they sent with the plows Fisher with some the brown stuff with otherwise there's a few different ones out there I'm not sure what the brand is off top of my head so Brown of dielectric grease if you guys know what the brand name is or what you recommend put it in the comments down below I guess that's that's better so you hooked the fittings back up yep and they just come on a little tab there to hold them tight okay let's back it away and I want to actually take a look at the actual connection method so we can get a clear shot of what that looks like perfect so that bar across gives you more connection surface connection area or tell me about that Leila so then your PIN there all right there Zek that's it really yeah it's gonna say that take your foot and push against it and if there's a little bit of snow on there it helps grip it okay so yeah coming out within the last two years so the connection method that is this is very similar to what the heininger connection method is except they had this little thin bar right and I'm not picking on Hannah cuz love my high knickers nope over they had this little thin bar and every time I go to kick it which where would my foot go over the bar or under the bar so then you know what's kicking the bar my didn't like hooking up the high knickers snowplough my shin hated hooking up the high knickers no let's bring her back together well think you can do it in one time
