Western Snow Plow Review

What happens here

The reviewer further criticizes the Western MVP3 plow and its controller, giving the plow a rating of 4.5/10 and the controller a 1/10, deeming it the worst he has ever used. He showcases an 'ancient' Boss V controller and a Hiniker V-Plow joystick controller, both of which he finds significantly better and more intuitive than the Western one. He notes that the joystick controller is available as a no-extra-charge option for the Western plow, yet 98% of units are sold with the problematic button controller, highlighting a potential marketing or sales oversight by Western.

Goal: Compare the Western MVP3 controller to superior alternatives and assign performance ratings.

Western MVP3 because right now I'm going to give the Western MVP3, the plow itself, a rating of 4 and 1/2 out of 10 star. Not a very good rating. I'm going to give the controller on that Western MVP a one worst controller I've ever put my hands on. I've had Boss controllers. I've had Heineker controllers and this is by far the worst controller. You have the option. If you still after watching this video, you still want to buy an MVP3. I'm going to recommend you probably try out the joystick controller, which I found out from the rep is available at no extra charge. But they sell 98% of them with the button controller. disconnect it, throw it in the garbage. [music] That's what it that's what I'd like to do with it. And so far, my service from Western hasn't been overly impressive [music] either. I contacted the Western rep directly, and we will see how they respond. I will keep you updated in further videos to the issues that I brought forward to their [music] attention. At this point, the rep came out, took a look at it, and told me I needed to contact my installer, [music] which makes absolutely no sense to me. That's just putting barricades in front of a problem, trying to keep more people from actually coming up with a solution. If I'm talking to the rep from Western [music] and I'm showing him the problem face to face, he should be the answer man. It should have nothing to do with the shop that installed the snowplow. That makes [music] no sense whatsoever. But he asked me to go back to the shop that installed it, which I did while he was standing with me. So, we're going to see how Western handles this issue. Be careful if you're out buying a a Western's MVP3 snowplow. I would definitely look at other options. Please subscribe because the next video I'm going to do on snow plows, we're going to actually [music] compare a Vplow with a straight plow with wings. And we're going to talk about efficiency and which
