The crunch of snow when cold. Love it

I could watch plowing all day. Kinda nice no music and just the natural sound. Thanks for sharing!

ya know there is something beautiful about super cold weather and the crunch of snow when walking...especially at night when typically after a storm the sky is clear and full of stars. its very cool. southerners will never understand that.

Stan, I really liked this kind of video where it was just snowplowing but with the perfect amount of commentary. I think this is the sweet spot lol.

Unsticking a Tonka truck captured by a snowbank!!! I like watching these adventurous videos from the safety of my nearly snowless north Alabama chair next to the coffee pot! Yaay!!!

I’ve been plowing for 24 years for the county parks department they purchase plows and trucks in bulk so I’ve used many different plows and brands of trucks over the years from myer diamond blizzard boss fisher and western. Myers were by far the worst mechanically the pumps froze constantly I was to the point of changing fluids before every big storm and they would still freeze diamond had the same issues obviously because they used the same pumps as myers although diamond contractor grade plows were built much stronger. I do all the truck and plows maintenance and repairs for the parks as well. You are 100% correct about the life of western cutting edges. They don’t last. They wear out about 30-40% faster than the other brands I don’t think they use enough carbide in their steel. I highly recommend winter equipment cutting edges they are the best cutting edges on the market I think. And will turn a western from a zero to a hero. The cutting edges are expensive but you get what you pay for they outlast them all

Nice one Stan. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Another great video Stan been here from beginning so crazy too see you go from bobcat skidloaders and TLBs to Arctic’s on loaders and pull plows on pickups loved seeing the change keep up the great work

I love the boss joystick controller!! Easy peasy to operate!!

Finally getting some winter storms and Temps out here on the Eastern Front! Snow Fighters unite! ❄️ Fisher Plow, twin to Western, same issue with Xv2 cutting edge. It's soft steel and after I had to replace a few, I took a page from your book and ordered the full kit from WINTER EQUIPMENT!! 💪🏽 unreal how much better quality and lifespan on the Winter cutting edge. On year 3 with it and looks like new

Hey Stan people in Northern Manitoba (the Canadian Province to the north of Minnesota) use to call it a 'Hudson's Bay Chinook' when those cold -50 windchills would blow off of Hudson Bay and freeze up the Prairie Provinces and the Northern States like Minnesota and North Dakota.

We used to go to the local highway garage and ask them for worn cutting edges from their plows with the carbide inserts and add them to our edges!

The cutting edges on the black Ram with Orange plow scrap down to bare pavement with ease! I know when I plow with my brother here in KC when we actually or will ever get any snow……….we don’t pile snow around the light poles in an island nor when just standing in a lot by themselves. He makes us get out and hand shovel around the pole! He says it’s better to get all of that snow cleared because when it melts it refreezes and has to be dealt with later so might as well clean it now…..I understand though with the amounts of snow you guys get up north!!

Have you ever used a Meyer snow plow before? Send some of that snow to NJ please all we have been getting all winter is rain .. #EasyMoney love your videos stay safe & see ya on the next one ツ

Stan I've Had a western V plow since 2005 only replaced one cutting edge if you are wearing cutting edges out the plow isn't set up correctly on the truck when they installed the new plow they measure the frame to ground length and set it up to that measurement so the plow is level when in the scoop or Vee position my guess is that it wasn't set up correctly and there is to much pressure on the outer part of the edge when it is in the scoop or vee position

great video as always, you guys keep safe in that weather. Look forward to the next one.

Great video, after watching this video, I guess I will stop complaining about my Louisville, Ohio weather. Thank you Stan !

Ive noticed in several videos I've watched with a yankum rope , they will pull the rope to the left side so the driver can see the rope when it gets tight as he pulls ahead,It was very cold that day here and I blew snow for all my neighbors ,nobody wants to come home after working all day and the clean out the driveway, Enjoy all your video's,

Just too cold Stan. Was 82 here when you were plowing this lot. I do not miss snow even a little lol. I’m amazed yall actually choose to live with those temps and astonished when people comment they’re disappointed they haven’t got enough or very little snow.

Holy crap, looks like he left the truck in reverse while you guy's were hooking up the tow rope, be careful, keep warm, stay safe.

Only a true northerner can appreciate crunchy snow! And no matter how much grease you have in stuff it still creaks and squeaks!!

Brrrrr 🥶…..80’s here in Houston!

Looks like that truck was still in reverse while you were hooking up your tow line very dangerous stay safe brother

Love the videos, brother God bless and keep them coming

As always awesome content thanks for your time to do this video big fan of your channel ☺️

hello stan from north central north dakota . the land of -40 and 50 mph winds 😉😂

you sure can hear that squeaky really cold snow. Hey Stan if you want you can send some of your snow down to the Chicago land area. The most we got this year was 2 inches one time them a week later it melted and gone. I'm 60 miles south west of Chicago. Love watching your videos

Dealing with that for nearly 2 weeks here in Bozeman Montana feel you man

Awesome video glad i live where we dont get much snow thanks for the job you do for others

They are getting snow in the Mohave dessert and in San Diego. My brother in law in Fresno is supposed to get snow. They haven't seen snow in three decades.

Yeah, that crunch walking sounds like it's cold out.

When I plowed on the highway dept. We would sandwich the cutting edges together. Steel cutting edge with a carbide to get more life out of it.i could wear out a single cutting edge on the f 550 scrapping subdivisions in two storms. The road agent figured it would save in salt by scraping more first. Now the dept. Is down to three employees because of labor shortage. Less scraping and straight salt not sand salt mix for faster results.

Here you are Stan, 15+ inches in 3 days and in 3 months we haven't even gotten an inch. We are fighting to use up all of our salt that we bought. Our trucks haven"t had plows on in 3 months. Great year for contracted pre paids lol

Couldn’t agree more on the western plow I get about 50 hours of plowing out of a set of cuttings edges straight or v plow…. I love that snow power on the ram but would like to see it raise up another 3 inches when you go into the bank.. great video

Awesomesauce video Stan. You have a great team working for ya.

We just had our 3rd plowable snow storm of the year. I plow a dirt road and we had started mud season. I used the tractor with a rear mounted snowblower as a box plow for two reasons 1 the roads are to soft to run it with the snowblower going and 2 my plow trucks transmission went out.

man i love that green tow cable

Just plowed 18 hours, 15+inches and now here I am watching more people plow when I’m not plowing this winter got me fucked up 😂

8:47 Stan knows how to have fun!

The deep freeze was definitely felt here in the “high desert” part of Oregon, and heard the same noise under the tires. It sounded like really good ASMR.

I ran Meyer and Western in my plowing days. Of the two Western hands down. Now I will agree that the V blade cutting edges wear out super fast, I disagree with your complaints on the Western handheld controller. I found it easy to use and memories. I like the separate buttons for vee and scoop, where others you have to push in the middle for those features. But hey there is something for everybody right.

Props to you n your crew Stan 👏 🙌 👍🏻

I run a Fisher XV2 and just had to replace the original cutting edge for the first time after 3 seasons. Its also the same controller, and I still believe it’s one of the simplest controllers on the market today. One button for scoop, one button v mode, and two separate buttons for each independent wing. Then you just have your generic up down left and right. Simple.

Stan you got all the snow this year was 70 in Philly yesterday were full out landscaping and hardscaping trees are actually budding out this has been a exceptional weird winter or lack of this year I saw some crews mulching beds already

I plow in upstate NY on tug hill, moving to cohasset this summer. Biggest disadvantage out there is no studs. I put 1500lbs in my truck box and 4 studded tires. I push drifts over 6ft, more then most loaders. It may not seem it but a good studded tire adds just enough extra grip to get out and push the heavy stuff.

I got a new western mvp3 9' 6" in January of last year. Love the controller. As far as cutting edge wear I have approximately 80-100 hrs on it and have lost 3/4". The included factory edge is much thinner than I would have liked to see. It does a very good job of getting the lot clean. I would not hesitate to buy another. The extra foot is nice but not in the deep heavy stuff.

If I had a plow I would take straight plow that can angle side to side. the more "parts" that a single plow is constructed from the more chances of failure and also down time plus upkeep. with a straight edge plow you only have to worry about the hydros that make it go up and down and side to side. but thats if I had a plow . Some people prefer the plows you have thats fine I prefer simple and straight forward plows .

heading up right now to come snowmobiling!!

Have you looked for a cutting edge made with Hardox. I had enough left from a project to make a cutting edge for my loader bucket on my tractor. I use it very regularly and am really rough on it and it shows no wear. The material I used was grade AR500

It snowed here in Las Vegas. Roads were icy this morning. We have NO plows. I work for the city and tried using my street sweeper, it worked somewhat. It was 25 degrees this morning. I HATE cold.

You know it's cold when the snow gets squeaky...

I like my boss joystick pretty good, it's on an older boss 8'2" RT3 steel V plow. I mounted the controller to the door left of the steering wheel, so I can shift & steer with my right and run/steer the plow with my left hand. I can lift the plow as I'm going into the pile and stack it eight feet high. I can go to beat heck with that setup too! The boss cutting edges (hydrox boss calls em) seem to wear pretty decent. But it kinda depends on the year. NW Mn this year we've got a pretty good layer of ice & hard packed snow everywhere except the main highways, the States policy is clear dry roads.

This might be one of those years where the Fleet Farm parking lot in Lakeville looks like Mount Everest!

great video

Western makes a small joystick

Yup love the sound of snow getting crunchy 5 storms this week. Went 2 month woth nothing. Smh gonna be a rough week lol

Pretty calm near greenbay this year.

I’m jealous haven’t had any plowable snow on Long Island New York only thing we had was an inch that froze as soon as it hit the ground

Wow. That's cold. We're you get that rope u pulled truck out with? Great video.

Don't get me wrong, a little snow in a little cold every once in awhile is good and all but I'm sure glad I live in Central Texas

I had to turn the ac on today it was nice warm day for mowing

Coming up with names the weather channel hasn't come up with yet. Impressive.

Stan, you should weld a hook on those back plows? Toward the top, then lower the plow so it’s a few inches off the ground. Yank away. Or would you just tear it off the mount?

That squeaky crunch sound. Doesn't take much wind to cause drifts at those temps either.

What’s really wild is here in alpine Wyoming we have been getting 1-15 inches every 2-3 days. I feel like I’ve been up for 6 months in a row plowing and never being caught up. It’s been a crazy snow year here in Wyoming. I-80 I shut down with 10-15 foot snow drifts. Crazy 😮

I hope u do a video comparing the arctic sectional truck plow and the f12

Another great video BUT I was hoping to see that big bad Arctic truck pusher in action oh well hopefully it's in the pipeline of videos to come. And yes you know it's cold when your plows sqeaks like that just winging in and out

My starter went out on my plow truck when I was going to leave at the start of this storm it was a fun time replacing it outside in the cold while it was snowing. Lol. But gotta keep going right.

Nice one mate. Sorry been a while. Alot been going on including pulling my ACL 🙃

100000% agree with the controller hate.... I use both Boss 9.2 V and a Fisher/Western V. I HATE Fisher's double push to get the wings to move and the need to adjust each wing when you want to angle. Boss's layout is just superior in every possible way. I don't do as much plowing on asphalt, but there is most definitely more wear on the Fisher than the Boss after a couple seasons. I grew up with Fisher and I currently live about 45 minutes from their home base in Rockland , ME That said, I like Fisher's power in and out with the wings and I think their push bar/skid shoe design is stronger.

I call it squeaky snow!

Another great one Stan. Is there any way of adapting different wear edges from another make to the Western? Either the wear edge or the plow?

You commented on the drifts and how it was blown back in. In Wyoming, we call that normal. Have you seen the snow from this past week? Drifts that are unreal.

The whole time you guys are between those vehicles Alex truck looks to be in reverse

here to help

Only thing I’d chage about that orange plow on ur ram 2500 is the the hight of the plow , every time u push in to a pile of snow it over flows and covers the whole front of the truck up , if it would a bit taller like 1 or 2 more feet would be a perfect plow

I wonder if anyone makes a carbide blade for those Westerns. The county I work for switched to carbide blades with a steel front sacrificial blade (2 blade total thickness) for all of our road plows. I went through atleast 2 seasons of plowing with my Everest plow with that set up. 28 miles per run and sometimes it can be 2-4 runs plus per storm.

Alex broke another truck!!!

Well,the snow is really piling up!! Does anyone else feel some spring flooding headed our way?? March is right around the corner. One of the biggest snow fall months. Thanks 🤔.

Hey Stan you have so much knowledge on trucks I was wondering if you could do a De facto download of running heavy duty trucks and in particular diesels (when you have some time of course) either way I’ll be here for the next one! Thanks man

Fisher is same thing as western and I have the issue with my cutting edges also on my fisher xv2 , my buddy has a boss , and I like there cutting edge design a lot better it wraps around outside

I'm really starting to like the looks of these Sno-Power plows.

Gen4 Ram is a really decent plow truck, the weak point is the front factory U -joints.

Love the plowing videos

I can tell the temp by the way snow sounds when I walk on it!

Architects, why islands and light poles IN the parking lots.....

Just waiting for the next video we got 14-20” here in. Apple valley Minnesota

We got 10 in sw wi but the wind was unreal so the drift build up was just hell but like a trooper stuck with it and got the job done and kept the customers happy so win win in my book

Nice drift

20, 30, 40 below...it all sucks. Does get a bit more squeaky though.

I like the way to did this video. It would look even better using a solo shot

Great work. Why does there always seem to be 1 stray car left in a parking lot.

You are a Sick guy I don't know if anybody noticed.Not only did you pull your Buddy's Truck out you kept pulling it.I still like the Ford's.Dodge need to make a reg.cav. into Mega more interior space/Shotgun rack

Looks like the reverse lights are on the ford! Not good on the trans while sitting there stuck

Thx

hey stan love the videos i notice when you are doing this lot you are not stacking the snow just pushing into piles if i did that i would run out of room half way through winter

I'd really like to know which you prefer, the Arctic section or the Snowpower?

Why is that Western controller so hard to use? Takes even a rookie a storm or maybe two to get used to it then it's like second nature. As far as the edges go, pretty sure thats a normal thing with any v blade. We still run a 9'6 Fisher and the dealer only puts 5/8" edges on them now and we're going on 2 seasons on a new edge, granted it doesn't do large lots but at this rate with the type of lots it does, this edge should last another 2 seasons. My brand new Western Wideout XL does a lot of small to medium lots and helps our backhoe at a large box store and it has a 5/8" cutting edge and it will go through 1 a season on average with normal snow falls. This is the year for salting here in NWPA, we're down about 50" from our normal snowfall but just salting is fine with me lol. I see another good storm headed you way this coming week.

Hey Mr. G,, Did you ever have the opportunity to use any of the Leo snow plows that are made near you? I have 2 of them, 8' straight blades, one is nearly 30 years old and still works flawlessly. Two sided cutting edges, so you can turn them over when wore down..

Sorry Stan. I skipped the ads. But here's your algorithm boost.
