Truck with a 16' Back Plow VS Skid steer with a 15' Pusher

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

This step delves into specialized techniques and highlights equipment-specific advantages. The ASV skid steer, equipped with the Arctic Sectional Snow Pusher, demonstrates its "snow roll" capability, where the plow's wings automatically adjust to optimize snow movement and minimize spillage. This allows for efficient clearing in a single pass without leaving excessive residue. Meanwhile, the Ram pickup truck showcases its back-plowing efficiency using the powerful reverse gear of the Heineker V-plow, and Tim effectively manages two separate controllers—one for the front V-plow and one for the rear back-plow—to achieve comprehensive clearing. The speaker also details how sectional plows offer forgiveness to the operator, reducing wear on the cutting edge compared to fixed-moldboard plows.

Goal: Understand the specialized capabilities and operator controls for each machine.

Tools and materials

  • Arctic Sectional Snow Pusher Arctic — Performing the 'snow roll' technique and contouring
  • ASV RT-75 Skid Steer ASV — Demonstrating snow roll and agile clearing
  • Boss Drag Pro V-Plow Boss — Front plowing, controlled by one of the two controllers
  • Heineker V-Plow Heineker — Rear plowing (back-plowing), controlled by a separate controller
  • Plow Controllers — Operating the front and rear plows simultaneously from the pickup truck cabin
  • Ram Pickup Truck Ram — Demonstrating back-plowing and dual-controller operation

one of the good things about these sectionals right here too for a pusher it's very forgiving on the operator as well because the side motherboards float with the road he doesn't have to consciously control that and put that down look at this load is this slowing him down sam's in the cab smiling like a monkey eating crap on a frosted morning i have no clue what that means but my dad used to say it all the time so and i pray every single one of you skid loader operators applause know is screaming right now about this pattern that he used i don't think it's paying off for him but that's okay that's okay cause we can always do two out of three see how fast tim can move with that truck boom he can get speed speed is his friend in that truck when he's in the air but he's even plowing pretty fast going bass backwards with those arctic sectional pushers the side motherboard will do the floating for you with a standard pusher box it's in a fixed position so that means the operator has to always lay the box flat down onto the ground if the operator goes like this he's going to rub this cutting edge off so that if some other operator comes in they won't have that much cutting edge and the snow will drift out but if the operator does the reverse and goes this way he's going to wear this cutting edge down and so what that means is if they ever wanted to use it the box the right way there's going to be a big hole and all the snow is going to escape that way so these are very forgiving i've seen i've seen uh pusher boxes get destroyed really fast through rookie error expensive pusher boxes now tim is two fisting this controller so he's got a controller in one hand and a controller the back plow and another hand while he's driving and it sounds kind of like it would be difficult but he's got a heineker controller and that's a two button controller for that v plow with a tiny joystick if this isn't it but it looks a lot like it he's literally got one two buttons for that front plow and right there's the joystick you can read this controller like the back of your hand and the boss plow on the back has the the best controller for any back plow that i've ever put my hands on as well so he's kind of spoiled when it comes to [Music] that the next match coming up is a total war [Music] oh sam's not gonna slow down for he's like get out of my territory [Applause] all right i think we're i think we're gonna call it guys i think tim's got it done i think tim's just messing around…
