It’s all outdated now and many prices have increased 20-50% but hopefully it’s a good starting place!

@@ThriftyGarage absolutely! That's very helpful. Thanks for following up.

Glad it was helpful!

I wouldn’t be surprised if prices have gone up in the past two years. That does seem a bit high though considering I purchased both a plow and salter for that price.

@@ThriftyGarage, for sure. I was hoping for around $4,000.00, when I started getting quotes

Yea, that’s definitely on the low end. You probably won’t find a heavy duty plow installed for that price anywhere in the country. You could probably find a residential grade model for a 1/2 ton truck in that price range. Something pretty light duty. But if you are in AZ that might be all that you need.

Thanks for watching!

Some Western models are hydraulic. If you look at them they are nearly identical to SnowEx. Western, SnowEx and Fisher are all brands under the Douglas Dynamics umbrella.

Thanks Larry!

I’ve never used one so I can’t share my experience but rather my opinion. They look very specific and not as versatile as other front mount plows. Don’t get me wrong, looks like they do a lot but can’t replace or substitute for a normal plow. Depends on the type of service provided.

They are both made by Douglas Dynamics. So basically the same with a few differences. What makes Fisher better? I prefer the Automatixx quick attachment system on the SnowEx.

Thanks!

Nice choice!

I plow for a town and our pickups are 110/hr The loaders are 225/hr. If you do a parking lot most guys charge a season rate with a extra charge for snow exceeding a 1foot usually

@@blacksmokematters4521 I agree my boss potted about 12 grand on our first storm.. I'd take that.

I have a buddy in Grand Rapids Michigan who has a contract for a couple big store parking lots, and if there is 1" on the lot, they want it removed. He is working some long hours with that agreement, and he told me about one time he started hallucinating while tired and plowing. What did he see in his hallucination? He saw dollar bills coming off his plow with the snow. :)

@@blacksmokematters4521 That is a business expense that would save thousands in taxes. It may not be much (compared to not paying taxes at all for your production.), but it is not like your personal truck that you have to pay for all the repairs. Plus, there are things you can to to keep corrosion at bay, which would also be a business tax write off. But what most people do in my rural area, is just use a junk truck and barely keep it running,--then onto the next one. Nope--they are not getting the write off's,---for a reason I am you you can figure out. 50 driveways 10 times a year, 40 bucks a pop average,---20 grand man.

I am interrupting your video I know if you're ever get my texts this is a straight-up plow that means there's no V I don't care I don't need one but it's been given to me and I'd like to know what it's worth that's a Meijer Meyer about 10 years old is yellow and it don't turn twist I don't think I'm not really sure I need advice man please thank you I appreciate it

I reached out for quotes for all brands. For some brands I had several dealers within a 1-2 hour radius. But Fisher only had one dealer. They didn’t give me a quote on a Fisher plow. Personally, I’ve never used one so I can’t say much good or bad.

I've used a Boss plow years ago. The attachment method was difficult and frustrating. Hopefully they have improved. But the SnowEx Automatixx quick connect is super fast and simple. I couldn't see myself using anything different.

Opps: What is that "loss" in 2 years, 15% a year?
