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.

I'm one of "those guys" Diehard fisherplow fan, over 25years. I currently run two XV2 9'6'' stainless steel with the extensions making it over 11'4'' @ max. In northern Vermont, we get just as much snow. I'm glad to see those pull plows working great for your properties! This was very informative.. Thank you!

I now live in East Texas so not never really going to be doing any snow plowing but as a Former Canadian and Ohioan I grew up with snow plows and still love them and learning about them is just cool to me. Live your videos Mr. Stan, keep up the awesome job!!

Learned on a western plow with a toggle switch and loved it. I was 16 and we got a new truck that year. A 98 GMC Sierra 2500 w/350 ci. When i worked in maintenance we used a meyer plow similar in setup to your western plow. It was ok. That snowdog is awesome. 😊

Been using Fisher plows for over 30 years and not one complaint. Love my XV2! I live about 5 miles from Fisher so I also like supporting a local company that has a quality product.

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.

I plowed in Canada for many years and we had the Blizzard plows with the wings on 1 ton short bed trucks. We had tailgate sanders on the rear of the flatbeds and that setup worked really well. They are a really nice easy to use blade. Joy stick controls with 2 buttons to extend the wings. Never had problems with those blades.

Those SnoPower rear blades are friggin awesome. Never saw them in action till you profiled them. Thanks Stanley. Liked your music too.

I've been looking into purchasing a front and rear plow for myself, I absolutely love these videos! Great details and opinions, very informative in my opinion!

this video is helpful and thanks to adding the skills needed note at the end... you guys make it look really easy

love how you say, links will be in the bottom description and literally, there are no links lol. You do this CONSTANTLY

Oh man when you hit that pile in reverse you gave me whiplash! thanks Stanley for the review

Really enjoy your reviews!

Fishers are solid been running my mm1 for around 7 years, was super used when I got it. On a 98 Chevy 👍 never heard of heneker!

Genuinely appreciate the amazing work you put in! Thank you Professor!

Amazing how much I have learned from your channel. Thank you very much from Duluth MN!

No “C” in Fisher, bub! Love my Boss plow, over 15 years old, and have only gone through one solenoid and both electrical connectors, been on 5 different trucks so far, still going strong.

I have had a 7.5 snow dog on my 2011 ram1500 since 2012. Works great. Had a fisher 8ft on f350 before. Was too heavy. Beat me up. Love the Dog for cost per value. But has not let me down. GREAT plow

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.

I’m sitting here in pensacola FL watching this and our coldest day this winter has been 36 lol. Never plowed before probably never will but love watching this kind of stuff.

Stan great video as usual ! BUT you are missing out not running wide out blades ! we got rid of our V Blades and now run both Fisher and Western Wide outs. They are 8' and extended to 10' straight blade or 8' with scoop sides. They are rated to collect 40% more snow than a V Blade and are more efficient by far !!

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

Great video. I slapped some led light bulbs in my Western and man what a difference! Those snoways are great! Wish I had one for my property

Fisher. It gives a Texas oilfield trash transplant great pleasure to watch yall work! Salute

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!

I've never seen one of those rear mounted plows. Kinda cool. Pickups are okay for small spaces but are toys compared to a grader or large tractor

Good Video, I used a couple different expanding back blades using a clutch pump system for the hydraulics one was called a geerlings and the other was B&B, both expanded 16 feet. The big thing on the back blades is the weight on 3/4 ton truck. I could say so much more, I love using the back blades, they make your plowing so much more efficient.

in the cutting edge situation i could not agree more, my dad works for the DOT and they use carbide/steel ones and the last 3 months and that is probably around 5,000 miles!!!! and a different DOT uses just normal steel cutting edges and they have to change the underblade cutting edge and wing cutting edge every 10 hours it is such a difference in quality between cutting edges and thank you for the cool video and keep up the great work! and a safe plowing season to all the plow truck drivers out there!!!

I don't even plow snow and now I want to buy one after watching this video....

Fishers definitely the best plow I've ever used!!!

when i started doing driveways i was told to never waste a move make them all count this is awesome with the pull plow.

Nice comparison. I have been out of the industry for a few years and the pull blades are definitely interesting!

Boss LED headlights are great just got a new plow this year with the LED lights and wow what a difference. I will say there customer service directly from Boss has taken a hit sense Toro bought them. The dealer network is still strong however!

Very informative! I'm considering spending thousands of dollars for a complete setup and I appreciate the extent of your details and shared experiences. The length of the video didn't bother me at all. You have great unbiased info on all blades. My only problem with this video is the totally unnecessary and distracting music. The fast forward video effects was also not needed.

Our Snow-way plow has down pressure! Would love to see review on Snow-way! Great video! Those snow powers our BEAST!

Love fisher. I have 8 ft xblade straight with wings so I'm at 9ft 6 and I can wind row a full blade with no spillage. Love it man. 70 degree attack angle great scrapage and back dragging. On and off the truck in Less than 2 minutes. Love it! All I need now is some snow here in Mi. So I can get busy.

Fisher makes great plows. I have the Fisher XV2, only dislike is how fast the plow moves.

Well, from the contents it seems Fisher plows are the best.

Just signed up for you videos, and man you’re sick be hind that controller... I have plowed for couple yrs... I known some tricks but watching some things you done I have learned more... keep posting bud

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.

24:43 - SnowWay front plows have down-pressure. Great for back dragging.

The only downside to the Fisher plows are the cost, but they last and stand up to abuse. I would love to get a pull plow, but I have to run a sander.

I have to share this with my buddies that push snow man those back plows are badass and do such a great job it's crazy I think they need to be just a little bit taller but that's just me always a big thumbs up awesome Channel man all day and all night no bulshit👍👍👊👊👊🤘🤘🤙🤙

Watched it all the way through and found it very interesting....got my little Snow Dogg MD80 last year for my 16 diesel Canyon and love it!

Fishers are awesome. We have had ours forever. I’m from Maine and fisher is all you see here.

I love to watch about the plows, yet I live near Sacramento California and we never see snow.

I have a fisher and love it super easy to hook up and understand hook which is nice for this crazy weather we are having

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.

In my company we use fisher, boss, and Curtis, pretty soon I want to upgrade the 1 curtis to the western and I hope to eventually get a couple back drop plows as well

You should try a western wideout. I have ran them for a few years and I love them.

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.

Thank for reviews Boss does have downforce front plow. I now run a Boss HTX straight plow on 1/2 ton Chev it has downforce it now after 5 years running the Snowdogg MD75. I love the downforce it is a game changer for me. Short of having a rear mounted plow it does a great job back dragging driveways and next to buildings

Snow? We haven’t even got a snow event yet this season, what is this madness. Back to the video.. lol

Great vid Stan! Definitely get yourself a Fisher ! We take for granted how durable they are built, but after seeing your comparison, it really stands out. We dont see ANY Westerns here in Maine, home of Fisher Snowplows! But I think Fisher uses the same grade cheap steel cutting edges as Western. Basically the same components, same controller, but with the added X bracing. ( you can get the dash mount joystick control for Fisher , maybe you would like that better). Oh and we are bummed because our local distributor would not sell us any of the Winter Equipment cutting edges as they said they had fitment issues with the bends?

I love the information you give in your videos. I've been watching for solid year now and before that off and on. I knew you were in MN. But I didn't realize how close. Your company is only a hour drive.

No such thing as a video being to long 😎. Learned alot more about plows then I did before. When people say all plows are the same I'm having them watch this video!

Fisher all day here in New England

I think the Dodge is the better truck for pushing snow and in the area we're in Toronto Canada we don't have a truck around here with a pull plow on it and not a dealer to sell them great video Stanley

Great video and info and plow systems.

This is why there's no snow Stanley's got it all 😂great video very informative and not long winded just covered alot 👍👍

The music is making this hard to watch.

I don't know why I'm watching this when I live in Texas but I just got a lot of new information

Been running the same Fisher 9 foot straight blade mm1 for over 15 years have had minimal repairs on it and it has tackled some crazy snow fall. I tell every one I know to buy one ease of hook up (under 45 seconds) and it just works, up down left right and it stacks snow as good as any of the modern plows out there

Great information....thank you for you and your team's input!!

24:39 - False. Sno-way plows come with down-pressure. Mine was amazing. Leaps and bound better than my old Meyer plow. Front down pressure and a fantastic controller.

Definitely stayed till the end

great video stan!! and it wasn’t too long you covered a lot and it was all very helpful.. thank you :)

I appreciate the information. Did a great job. Also new to your channel. Love it. 👍

Fisher is nubmer1 in atlantic canada hands down

Have you ever looked at like a 6 or 7000 series John Deere tractor with a loader and box blade for pushing snow a few people around me in North Dakota that's all they run for commercial and residential units for the smaller storms they put a 16 foot box blade on the back and just have snow bucket on the front and for the 20in pounder snow storms they will put a 10-foot Pusher on the front and a snow blower on the back it seems like a really versatile system me being a farmer I can say I would much rather spend 20 to 30 hours in a tractor than a pickup a lot more legroom and definitely a smoother and more comfortable ride especially if you get an active seat

Those are nice snow plow I used to plow snow about 30 years ago I use Meyer snowplow

i really enjoyed it i don't do snow removal with my silverado but it is still very informative the pros n cons were great 2 thumbs up

On my 30th year of plowing, Fischer’s win

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.

Fisher V2 stainless. Absolutely love them on my second and run them 8-10 years .

Now a new subscriber! I liked the video covered a lot of good points on all brands! Thanks man!

Fisher v plow #1 . Faster, heavy duty , lifts higher.

Go get yourself a Fisher XV2, the minute mount system is unbeatable!

Ran a Meyer "huffy" on my 2 wheel drive International pickup for years, was a snow plowing monster!!! Had lug tires on the truck and weighed down the rear end, it was a monster!!!

He’s not lying! The boss lights are the best lights I’ve ever used

If I want to listen to music I would turn on a radio. I would like to hear the information on the snow plows.

Boss Power V DXT SS all the way!!!

I worked for a welding shop in WA, we built our own plows and installed them on customers' trucks. Based off Fisher design. We made the cutting edge so it could flipped upside down to get twice the longevity out of it as it wore down. In the years I worked there, never had a customer come for a replacement bit.

That’s nice. Keep the led warm and it says bright. When their cold not as great. Happy medium

What is your favorite tire for pushing snow?

I have been plowing snow for 20years and there is no plow better then Fisher plows

Probably my favorite video of them all

Thank you for the honest comparison. Have only run old time Meyers with joy stick

Boss has the smart lock pistons now that fixed the issue with the wings folding. I'd take my fisher over my boss any day

I thought people were overreacting about the music, then 13:40 kicked in. Music with lyrics is a HUGE no-no.

Great reviews. Great video.

your video editor does a great job i love some of the effects in the videos

Pro tip: Don't have music playing while we are trying to listen to you talk.

Music playing over the commentary? Not super keen on that. Great video though, crammed in a lot of good info.

For you're cutting edges, hard surfacing welding rod can be laid down then ground . Easily doubles the contact surface life and can be redone as needed.

No matter what you are doing a review video on, they are all great. I will go with the western snow plow. The sno power is probably my favorite pull plow

You have to get a fisher

Made it to the first ad, then yeah screw it I'm not sitting through 5 ads for a video.

Just got the boss drag pro installed on my truck, getting ready to use it for the snow coming Saturday.

Didn’t skip a second, great video. western plow lights are as good as most truck lights if they are aimed correctly
