Haha, you're a beast Andrew!! So many gems in this video. For me this time it was the lil baby snow blower, haha, with all the toys you have, of course you have that lil fella... Pushing the truck with the dozer, Noice!... Curious how you have so many toys... Dozers, mini x's, big x's, dump trucks, skid steers, and I mean plural of each... I know you own a business and you work hard, but you have a lot of toys/equiptment… It's like you always pull some big machine out and i'm like yep, of course he has one of them... My man!

Cool video I feel your pain brother been plowing a long time with a 7'6" straight blade little tip dont angle your blade all the way to one side 3/4 angle is all you need unless you are just cleaning up you get more toss and further and it's easier on the truck, plow and steering and you can push snow further and taller and it doesn't get your tires as close to the edge of the road less chance of dropping a tire and getting buried trust me this is constructive criticism not shit talking coming from a guy that has made many mistakes and had to figure it out by himself with no friends or heavy equipment just trying to share some knowledge to make your life a little more easier and profitable keep up the hard work and the good videos

Rule of thumb when pulling a vehicle out is that it goes out the way it went in. So backwards in this video :-) Sure you knew that already and there were other reasons you went forward to get it back on the road. Looked like quite some work with basic tools. Marking the roads with guide sticks also helps with plowing (they are everywhere here at 63deg North during winter. They install them every fall and are like 5-10 meters apart) I have really enjoyed your videos tonight and learnt quite a few things from you. Thanks a lot!

Andrew, consider putting a posi-traction differential into the rear axle of your Dodge . It's most likely a Dana 70 . I found the best price for it on Ebay and the installation kit. A posi unit in the rear axle of that truck will back a huge difference in your plowing.

Mass Hole yeah I have been out a few times, I didn't bother making more snowmobile videos because people would probably be bored of that. The tail light got hit by backing into a tree during the hard snow when I couldn't see, and the first time I didn't make it up a steep hill, and slid backwards/sideways into a cliff, not when pushing that out. Those lights are cheap, they break often.

I used an 08 chevy zmax 2 years ago to plow plus I had my 95 with a plow I broke I went through 3 sets of cv axles truck only had 70000 on it. 95 I've used for 6 years it had 192000 on it when I started plowing only replace front and back u joints and a alternator. If you haven't got rid of your dodge I wouldn't you wont be happy with a new one. Good video though.

Your gear ratios in the front are a point smaller than the back, when you enlarge the diameter of the rear by adding chains you can override the front causing it to put strain on xfer case and possibly break stuff, I've operated 4x4's and plowed snow for over 35 years and seen many people break drive trains doing what this guy is doing, lot of $'s to fix !!! If your going to chain it's front or both, you'll never break
