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

What happens here

The video compares Sno-Power and Shortiron pull plows, emphasizing their ability to significantly reduce plowing time for large areas. An example is given where a 4.5-hour job (using a front plow and skid steer) was reduced to just over 3 hours (one person, 2.75 equipment hours) with a pull plow, demonstrating their high efficiency for clearing parking lots and long driveways. The speaker also notes the ability of pull plows to do 'down pressure' which allows for better scraping, unlike front plows that simply float.

Goal: Understand the time-saving benefits and scraping capabilities of pull plows.

What they say

Hide

than 3 hours. So, literally the time without any other piece of equipment, without a second guy, I can go out and do the same job in 1/3 of the time. Now, you actually timed the other day. Just we had enough snow where you went out and plowed it. How long did it take you by yourself with this plow? I'd say 3 and 1/2 hours. So, 3 and 1/2 hours. Yep. So, right let's just call it somewhere in the middle, 3 hours and 10 minutes. So, every time we snow plow we're knocking almost 6 hours off from that one single account. We went from 9 hours down to a little bit over 3 hours. And when you've got 15 account or 21 one events because we have a zero tolerance, so we get 21 less than 1-in snowfalls per year, we literally are saving 80 What the hell is 21 * 6? Isn't that like 126. What? 126. 126, Frankie? Yeah. Is that right? Buddy, how much better things work when you take the traction control off? I think it's drinking. How did you figure that out that fast? Simple math. 72 toothpicks. 72 toothpicks. 172. So, it saved us 126 hours on just that single account. Are these well worth it? I wouldn't I couldn't plow without one now. I don't think it'd be as fun now. I got used to this thing. Right. I don't I just I couldn't do it. I would I would give up in frustration if I had to try to go out and plow. deal. At first, I didn't really like it, you know, but I I thought I I had trouble backing up with it and and seeing seeing things. It's a long box and, you know, I just I I then once I started getting used to the controllers and and where that thing sits, this year is just night and day. But, at the end of last season when I picked it up, I I wasn't sold. I was like, "Oh, man, this is I'm going to crash into something." But, uh I got a lot more comfortable with it. And one of the advantages to this now is winging around light poles in the middle of a parking lot. Yeah. Yeah, it's slick. You don't jockey anymore, do you? No. You just go straight at it and then flip it flip it open and you can back right up and push around with your front plow if you want cuz you're in position. Um it it just gives you more options to move snow. Hey guys, we're going to show you how you go around a light pole with a whole plow without jockeying. So, as he comes up to it, he wings out. And then he just wings in. And he flips that wing right around it. He doesn't have to jockey and he can do that and keep going down a straight line. And then as we come up to the other side of the pole,…
