Hi Stan, i am a landscaper from Canada. I have run Westerns, Fishers and for 3 winters i have been running a snow dogg extension winged plow. From what i have noticed it has more negatives than positives. NEGATIVE: when in transport mode it constantly bounces, the mounts on the truck itself are really low and scrape when going up steep inclines or driveways. The jack method to unhook takes more time and precision then any other mounts: minute mount, smart hitch, or boss. The adjustable lights always seem to need adjustment: either aim to high or to low. The only pros i see is the build quality. Really massive metal throughout and a good backdrag blade. To be honest i would prefer a western or fisher again. It is on a 2009 ram 2500 6.7 diesel. Thank you for your awesome videos.

We bought one last year, after 9 years of not doing snow we got back into it. We went with the snowdogg over a western because of money and someone recommended it. Hand control is great, I agree, it comes standard with the top flaps and a cutting edge (all extra on a western). The first few falls we kept having issues with it, hydraulic fluid leaks, line bursts, even the entire light bar split off the rest of the plow and had to be re welded on. The worst part it takes at least 30 mins to out the plow on. The lights are horrible too. This year we have only had 1 issue with it, it was the ground on the battery burned out and needed replacement. We bought 2 westerns this year for our new trucks and the only 2 advantages is the controller and the back dragging. That being said we didn't purchase the cutting edge for the westerns, not sure why we didn't.

Hey Stan, thanks for sharing your experiences with us !! SnowDogg is owned by Buyers which is not by any means a small company ! Buyers own SAM and SAM offers oem-like parts for almost every plow brands at a fraction of the price. Buyers is a gigantic corporation ! The first generation of SnowDoggs were half-assed and comparable to second tier plow brands like Meyer, Arctic or Sno-Way. But sincerely, for the last two years, I've been quite impressed with the quality and solidness of the 2nd Gen Dogg's. I'm still a Fisher guy because the Minute Mount 2 is, in my opinion, second to none. But considering the price difference and the stainless factor, I think that Snowdogg is actually the most competitive plow on the market for the moment.

I also prefer a chain to raise the plow. My dad had the same Western plow for 20 years on his 75 f100. When he sold it still had the original cables and the pump had never been opened up on it. Not bad for a 20 yr old plow. When I bought my 96 Silverado it came with a snow way plow with a hydraulic ram that raised it. Hated it every time I went to town I had to raise it 6 7 times as it kept going down. The following summer I switched to a western pump with a chain and cable operated for the plow. Never had a problem again with it. As for me I would take a old school western any day but to each their own.

The way that attaches to the truck is horrible, antiquated even compared to the Fisher MM1's which I honestly don't mind but the Fisher MM2 is light-years ahead of Snowdogg. And about hydraulic lift cylinder failure and getting stuck, just take your Fisher into a stacking position in a snowbank and use the highway safety chain to keep plow chained up and drive away with plenty of ground clearance. Fisher put a nice little notch in the headgear for laying the chain into to attach.

My limited plow experience was a 7.5 foot western I think on a 4.3 Chevy half ton in larger snows. It was miserable. Not enough truck. Spent much time in a bobcat pushing back... And much time with a welder cause it was old and. Rocky rough roads it was about 8 hours per event... But countless hours doing worse roads with farm equipment. Including pushing out after the plow jockeys can't hack it. I did one drift in 10 minutes that was hard and heavy that had defeated multiple v blades the 65 horse 2wd tractor beat it easy, that being said. If I was in your shoes id consider euro speced (high road gears( 35 mph )front 3pt etc) 100 horse tractors for snow work for visibility with a large front blade and gnues box on the back for stacking and box work. Quickly becoming my 2nd favorite channel. My friends at welker farms will always be number 1.

Great video I like the controller it looks like the Storksplows one that's easier to use than the Fisher and Western ones. You have to try a Fisher MM2 Talk about fast and easy to put on and off.

The plow frame sets really low on the truck like really low. Stan try a fisher but fisher & western is the same plow. Wonder if snow dog now is made by boss.

Stan what’s the secret? At least in your videos you make snow seem so fun and easy. I’m going on my 5th year so I know I still have time to learn. But what’s the key? Is it about quantity? I feel like I’m so busy rushing to get to the next property to avoid customers pressuring me that I can’t even enjoy snow removal.

Looking for input...I just had a 2019 VXFII installed today on my 3/4 ton and I wasnt pleased with how high (or not high) it lifts up. I already had several scrapes with reentry to public way from lots and its annoying. I was able to chain it up higher but then it didnt seem to want to go all the way down. ?? Anyway I reset it until I find good info..

I havent worked with the snowdog system, or any other, but that looks like a pain in the ass for hooking up, and disconnecting.. I could have my fathers fisher 8' HD straight blade with MM2 off in less than 3 minutes... that includes putting blocking underneath the blade (so it wont freeze to the driveway/road). it was a great system the hydraulics are fast, and responsive. the blade was heavy duty, and would scrape to bare pavement as long as teh pins were setup correctly to the height of the vehicle.

Wow that detachment and attachment system looks like so much trouble to go through, Fisher plow just line up the truck get it close enough, push the plow mount and you're ready to go, that's why I love Fisher plows

With dielectric grease be aware some will burn so test some and try to light it with a cigarette lighter if it burns. This could be a problem if you ever have an electrical fault and fire

I’ve had a Fisher straight blade, two Curtis straight blades but the Boss DXT Stainless is my latest and it’s just amazing. Especially the ease of hitching it to the truck among many other advantages (heavier cutting edge, dual trip feature, simple smart controller,). Watching Will go back to each side multiple times on this unit looked like way too much work. They added a switch there for leveling, the same switch which does it all for the Boss. I know Snow Dogg is significantly less expensive but I don’t even know if there are any local dealers here in CT. Super happy with the Boss on all accounts.

hello Mike, how much was the stainless steel straight blade plow? And does it come with the truck frame or attachment for that price? thanks

We have had snow on the ground since October here in northern maine ,i'm tired of plowing! I gotta agree with Jay B,Fisher is way ahead of Snowdogg. My MM2 has been on 3 different truck's no issues at all, just a cutting edge as needed

My snow dog plow blade keeps getting stuck when I put it down to start clearing snow. It goes down but won’t come up. What could cause that, maybe hydraulic fluid but I think it’s the pins in the connector cause it works sometimes till I start having to make a lot of movement. Help please any advise/insight would be greatly appreciated!
