I was from RI and always had Fisher plows. The last ones I ran were Minute Mount 2's They were great and trouble free. We always did bigger jobs than we were supposed to with pickups. One trick was (cutting edge were soft) we had a welder friend that made cutting edges from (hi-strength) scrap metal and discarded municipal blades. He also drilled the holes so that we could reverse them and get longer life out of a single piece. Fisher store would be open 24 hours during an event. I never had to visit them lonely people in the middle of the night. Oh and the Fisher trip edge! Only the bottom 6" of blade folds under when you hit an obstacle and the rest of the blade stands up straight. You don't lose any snow.

@jamesnm21 Жыл бұрын
There's no sense in flipping a cutting edge. You need a certain amount of lap on the moldboard and the rest is cutting edge beneath it and you wear it down until there's nothing left. You just make twice as much work for yourself by dividing the edge in half and putting wear steel on both sides that you have to flip when one side wears down.

Interesting with the back plows, I would love to try one. Every plow has it's pro's and con's, the best advice I have is find a dealer near you that is well stocked and open during storms and buy the brand they sell just make sure it's a commercial grade plow. Because if something goes wrong in the middle of a storm and you can't fix it then you can get it fixed.

Moved to Maine 28 years ago and have run Fisher plows the whole time. I only plow my home and a few friends and family, but I also make do with old used, beat up equipment and it still always works, The first plow I used was probably 20 or 25 years old when I got it in 1990 8ft dual control with a pump that ran off the engine, not electric and I could stack snow about eight feet high with that plow. Service was incredible. Fisher faxed me the entire installation manual which was so old they didn't have them anymore and they were not on line in 1990. Incredible plows and service.

@@stxtwmxify I would never buy anything else again. Like they were saying stainless can still rust and costs more. Common misconception is the poly weighs less, when actually it weighs more. It weighs more because it needs extra support because the poly isn't as rigid as the steel is. The true benefit to the poly is it doesnt rust on the blade and the snow will roll off it better and not stick as much as steel. Downfall is its heavier and can fade in color if you let your plows sit out in the sun year round.

Fishers all day 100%. Their cross beams on the stainless steal plows are extremely sturdy, practically built like tanks. Cutting edges last forever and if you have a v-plow they will stack higher then any other plow. As you can tell I really like fishers and would recommend them to anyone. Just make sure you have a good dealer, and if your in New England like me that’s not a problem

FINALLY!!!! I Am sooo pumped you made this video Stan! Very well done comparison between the brands. I am glad you decide to take a further look at the Fisher plows! I still think you need to at least get one for a demo. As I was trying to tell you last year, even though they are made by the same company as Western, the Fisher plows are much more robust in comparison to the Western. I mean you take one drive through Massachusetts and the rest of New England, during winter time, and all you see on plow trucks are Fisher plows primarily. My father and I both run Fisher's; he has run them his whole life, I am on my first Fisher (that is on my 2013 F250). My first plow was a Snowdogg 6'8 for my Explorer Sport Trac, that I had at the time (such a great driveway/small commercial setup, made me lots of $$$.) The Snowdogg was a nice plow but I always had problems with the plow plugs building up with moisture, snow, ice..ect which would build up a layer of electrolysis on the plug pins, I also had a similar problem with the relay block for the plow getting moisture inside; such a pain in the rear but other than that the plow was a great plow. Now that I am rockin a Fisher plow on my F250, I won't use any other brand. I love my Fisher, I'm just in need of some snow as it seems winter has yet to Southern Massachusetts yet :( I would like it if Fisher would come out with a LED light upgrade like Boss did, those LED lights are awesome and I'm quite jealous that Boss has them!

Some good info guys. Plowed almost 15+ winters in Northern Michigan running all kinds of front plows and back blades. You will absolutely love a back blade when you get used to it. I laugh when a guy gets jealous and says, “what do you need a back blade for” 😆. Fortunately, do enough pest control work now and some lawn care in spring through fall don’t have to jump in a plow truck anymore. Only way I’d get back into the snow is jumping into a warm cab with snow thrower on front with a back blade in a very densely populated area to make big $$. Or it’s just not worth it, to me. Haven’t missed much snow plowing the last 3 seasons anyway with the lack of snow up here lol. Stay safe pushing snow gentlemen!

This was good man. I think it’s important for people who are new to the snow removal world and even those of us who have done it for a good while to understand the ups and downs of each, brand and setup. We all know at a dealer usually they’ll just tell you theirs is the best (for obvious reason) so it’s good to see the pros and cons of the brands as well as front vs. dear blades.

My 9”2 BOSS power v xt ya been perfect got it almost 6 years ago now never have done anything to it. Mostly residential but also have done full roads and parking lots and cutting edge held up great. My truck is a 12 F350 Supercab long bed dually with a utility box and the 6.7 handles it well. That setup has made me tons of money and wouldn’t change it for a thing.

1. Not for your average joe. Plowing in reverse, guys hit stuff plowing forward, I can only image. Its hard enough finding somebody you can trust running a straight blade in a truck. 2. No protection from hitting stuff , man hole covers, curbs etc. No trip edge or anything. Going 15 in reverse and hitting a manhole cover .Lets see that in a video. You say down pressure on it but it scrapes worse than a front blade with no down pressure. No discussion on full or trip edge plows. Seems like u missed that all together. The v plows on your trucks are scrapping all the time pulling in uneven driveways. That cant be good for the asphalt in HOA.? Uneven where on cutting edge corners as well. No talk of expandable plows . U missed that one too.

You should checkout snow ex. We have ran extendable wing plows for years. They can carry a ton of snow and be straightened out for a large straight blade for plowing roadways. We used blizzard for years then they got bought out. So we got a western wide-out. After 3 seasons the wings were fatigued and starting to bend. We are now running two snow ex’s. They are built just as well if not better then the blizzards were. Snow ex does offer a down pressure kit for scraping and back dragging. Our 8611 power plow can almost lift the front tires on a 1 ton diesel dump truck with the down pressure.
@davidjfiedler5 жыл бұрын
Slim Lines I had a blizzard 810 on a ‘97 f250 since ‘01 and it was a great plow. I had to replace ball joints every 2 years because the twin I beam front axle just wasn’t heavy enough for it. Is the snow ex still all boxed like the blizzard was. I’m pretty sure snow ex is where I’ll look when I decide to put a plow on the new truck. Also, I thought the blizzards shape really rolled the snow very well.
@slimlines60725 жыл бұрын
They are still boxed. The blade itself is almost identical. They just changed the mounting system. The blizzards and now the snow ex’s do seem to roll the snow better then the others I have used. I’m not sure how they do it but going from the western back to a snow ex it seems like you can use more of the plow without getting trail off.

You can make down pressure on a Boss by utilizing the Smart hitch. I didn't do it because I would have lost smart hitch feature. Which means you have to connect manually.

I run the Boss EXT and absolutely love it. It stacks snow and carry’s larger piles better than a V plow in my experience. The Boss drag pro may put more weight outback but on a 1 ton truck it doesn’t matter as much, and still allows you to have the spreader for salt and sand on the same truck.
