That. Raffle will end on my birthday which is October 8th

Hey Brian. I will be starting my own lawn business next year. I'm glad I found your channel. I have a 2008 52" exmark lazer z hp with the vac system and a 2020 52" staris s series. Have the echo weed wackers and the new big shindaiwa back pack blowers. I just bought a 2006 Ford f150 xlt only had 76000 miles. I bought a lark enclosed trailer as well. Do you have any good ideas on how to charge now that gas prices are really going up? I'm new and I really don't want to shoot my toes off when I start trying to price yards. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙏. I'm from Ohio so we only got about 8 months of mowing if lucky and 2 months of leaf season. I'm not gonna be able to do snow this year, I don't have money to buy the equipment this year 😫. I'm 34 and I've been working for people all my life and not getting anywhere. So I took a jump. If you have anything you could share with me I'd appreciate it. I will be going through all your videos and great full for them! Hope your doing well through all the trouble with the carona virus, Be Safe!

Hey Brian my names Rob I'm the Owner of Above and Beyond Lawn and Landscape in a small town in Idaho. I've been running the business for a couple years now and thinking about getting snow removal/commercial plowing into the mix. If u don't mind me asking what should I charge for like a jack in the box parking lot? Thanks bud been watching your videos since 30,000 views keep up the good work

That's awesome pal. Check out our snow resources on Lawntrepreneur Academy, they could really help you out. Rock on!

Once there's more than a couple inches it's sooo much nicer to carry snow than windrow it yes.

Dang that’s pretty cool!

We did lol

Thank you!

I got 2 of the 180z and ordered 3 more. Had an issue with one of them after 3 weeks boss got it fixed. If you want a boss plow for a utv I have one I will be getting rid of and will be going to Michigan in November to get more plows

Ethan how long have you ran the back pull plows ? How much does it speed up your production

@@kevincloonan9787 My family company has been running them since the 1970's. We made some for our trucks back then. I believe backblades first started in Michigan or Wisconsin they have always been pretty popular in my area. Surprised to see some people have never heard of them. The expanding wing blades we have had for around 7 years now. We can carry a lot more snow with one of our powerwing's 8' with 2' sides then with our front plows, we run boss dxt 8'2" front v blades. We find that it is alot quicker on clearing out parking spaces, we just back in pull it out all the way to the pile driving fowards. Often time I personally find my self using my backblade more then my front blade. We love them and it would take a lot longer with out them.

The issue with the XLS is the A frame lift stops on the head gear. The wideout from western doesn’t have them, allowing the wideout to stack higher

Could you mount it higher up on the radiator? Do you have a leveling kit installed to raise the front end of the truck a couple inches? That helps.

@@jamesnm21 I am running a mason dump so I don't want to run a leveling kit, but even if I did I'd have to go down the road with the plow skimming the road for any airflow to the tranny cooler. My 01 2500 Duramax have this issue like my 2018.

@@ethanwilliams1825 don't know if it's worth it but you can get trans coolers with their own fan that mount under the bed of the truck or wherever you'd like to put it. I also don't plow uphill anymore unless I have to.

That we haven't figured out yet.. Still working it. Ha

Or a new truck!

I'd honestly just go with a 3/4 ton. A half ton frame isn't designed for the rigors of snow plowing.

I agree for long term a 3/4 ton is the way to go Just for a season or two you can do it on a half ton as long as you don't push too hard and use the right sized plow. You'd want the truck to be in good shape though.

Google Boss Plow

Heck no, now is a great time

I’ve been plowing with a 2001 Silverado HD since I bought the truck brand new… I also sell Chevy commercial for a living… We do not have any trouble with IFS on snow plow equipped trucks. The suspension components on Ford’s solid front axle wear out just as fast as anybody else’s product.

My Chevy ate two fords for breakfast today.

I run my 2005 Chevy. I like Chevy.

There's differing opinions/experiences on the Chevy IFS for plowing. Guys who've run all 3, Ram Chevy and Ford will tell you they all will require a front end rebuild sooner or later.

why do you own one ?
