Testing Sno Powers F-12 snow pusher for trucks.

What happens here

Before hitting the road, conduct a road test to monitor the truck's transmission coolant temperature. With the large 12-foot Sno-Power plow attached, it's important to ensure the truck's cooling system can handle the additional weight and wind resistance. While driving at highway speeds (55-60 mph), observe the temperature gauge. The video shows the temperature starting at 212°F and dropping to 197°F, indicating adequate cooling. This confirms the truck can safely handle the plow during transit.

Goal: Verify truck's performance and cooling system with the plow attached during transit.

[Music] the road test is we're going to be checking our temperature gauge as we're going down the road at 55 60 M an hour and we're going to be actually monitoring it yes I will put my seat Bel on in a moment we're actually going to be monitoring it the actual temperature of the transmission coolant right right now is 212 you can see it right there okay now that's a new one to me the temperature is actually going down since I've left I started at 212 and I'm now down to 197 cooling temperature so here's my two cents on just how it handles and performs in the truck for a big plow this is legitimately the biggest front plow that's ever been on this truck it's a 12T front plow the next biggest plow is like a 9 ft2 V plow and this plow this 12T weighs about the same as my 9t 2 V handles like nobody's
