The Best Snowplow for a truck? Fisher, Western, Boss, Hiniker, SnowDogg, Sno-Power & Shortiron

What happens here

The similarities between Western and SnowDogg hoist systems (the mechanism that lifts and lowers the plow) are examined. The speaker points out the foot pegs on the SnowDogg for easier access, and a guard mount on the Western to prevent wings from collapsing too far back, offering extra protection for the plow itself.

Goal: Compare the mechanical hoist systems and protective features of Western and SnowDogg plows.

What they say

Hide

Yep. Okay. Oh, do that one more time, will you? I missed it. So, that's what's going through there. So, show me the handle right there one more that piece. Why does that got that knurly grip on it there? You know? Oh, yeah. I was going to say, is that It's made so 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, got it. a new feature that they started coming out with in the last 2 years is it was smooth before and you'd always go to do it and your boot would slip off. Okay. One of the things I don't like about the Snow Dogg is the headlights. You take a look at these headlights. I don't think they're the same level of quality as the Western headlights. And I know Boss is the ruler when it comes to headlights. They've got the best headlights on the market cuz their headlights actually have heat um they're actually heated headlights. So, they've got actually like a defroster element in the headlights themselves. So, as as excited as I am about this Snow Dogg, it's not perfect and I'm not going to tell you that it is, but when I'm talking about bang for the buck, I was really impressed with these guys. Still love my Western.
