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!

Used a Fisher ( Western equivalent) expandable Plow all last season. It was great! They do a great job catching and carrying snow . If the V Plows are like a Swiss army knife, the expandable straight blades are the clean sweepers and time savers . ❄

You need to talk to Dirtmonkey about the Boss Drag Pro 180Z. He runs one as well as an older version. He loves the back blades especially for residentials where you can back up to a garage door, put the blade down, then drive forward towards the street and a couple or few passes like that, you'll have the driveway done. I commend you for putting yourself out there to learn more, in the end it's your customers who will win since you will have more to offer them. Thanks for another great video!

We use are power wing expanding backblades 80% of the time. The amount of snow that you can carry with those things are impressive, just don't get to much or you might get stuck, but that's we got an hla snowwing for that kind of stuff. Hopefully going to have a better winter up in Grand Rapids.

@ethanthelandscaper89192 жыл бұрын
@@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.

I have a 2007 Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 since new. I put a snow plow on it with a electric winch and manual angling. I can plow my 600 feet of driveways in 15 to 20 minutes. Best investment ever. I would like power directional tilt.

I have a Fisher XLS which is the same as the wide out and it is phenomenal at pulling snow away from sidewalks and curbs and you can angle the plow and take a full blade of snow with no spillover. The downside is it does a poor job of stacking snow, it blocks the transmission cooler on my 2018 Chevy so the transmission doesn't cool down very much going down the road, and it's a bear to plow up steep driveways.
@dinotudisca38212 жыл бұрын
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.

I'd honestly just go with a 3/4 ton. A half ton frame isn't designed for the rigors of snow plowing.
@jamesnm212 жыл бұрын
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.
