Western Snow Plow Review after 13 years - Plagued with Problems

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The creator shifts focus to snow plow controllers, specifically comparing the Western controller with a Hiniker V-plow controller. He expresses strong dislike for the Western controller, finding its multiple buttons confusing and noting issues with its 'float' function, which requires holding the button for an extended period to activate. In contrast, he praises the Hiniker controller's simplicity, featuring only two buttons and a thumb joystick with a distinct 'detent' for immediate float activation, making it more intuitive and less prone to errors during long shifts.

Goal: Compare the usability and design of Western and Hiniker snow plow controllers.

hate more than this thing or simplified that's just know I gotta hide a groovy controller let me show it to you flip it awesome can you all these controllers side by each this Oh check this out this is a V controller that's the Hein occur Oh scoop the side to side that look at how much easier that is and that joystick that's a thumb control joystick yeah it's yeah this just confuses me when you hit this and then go either forward or backward I try not to use those sometimes so you hit it once and then go forward then you can hit it twice and there's a go backward and you can't remember what you want I'm on half the time so I'll be pushing a file and I'm just gonna wing it real quick and yep it'll open up then I'll leave windrows and then I'll either hit this one hoping to put it forward again I don't know little buttons confused oh dude you know what's really confuses what I hate is this one right here that button right there cuz you don't know like a lot of times you hit it you go down and you're not in flow so you gotta hold it oh you got to hold it for an extra second so even though you go down you feel it hit or not in flow then you gotta hold it you get a hold it just for the count of one but you know what when you've been plowing for 20 hours straight and you got more important things to do than to wonder and you don't have a detent right can you see that that little delay makes a big difference boom that's when you're in float so you hit it you're down you think alright on to bigger and better things like not running into cars and curbs but you're not floating so you go up and over a lot boom and then hold it so it hits then you hold it and it goes down that is annoying like with this one it's got a detent so when you pull backward you're automatically inflow okay you're automatically as soon as you as soon as you hit the detent you can actually feel that little nub and you're you're in business boom is just as easy as that scoop be and that's it this is two buttons and a joystick on your thumb not a hole joystick which is a big difference or nine buttons and two of them have the same function one - I can't stand this controller it's really
