A lot of you guys were asking about the follow up to Jakes Lawn Care, and how his half ton BOSS HTX plow was holding up. The half ton market is set to explode in my opinion, because everyone and their brother has an F150 or Chevy 1500 and could utilize a plow like this one Jake has.
Most of you guys saw Jake's first video when he had just picked up his brand new stainless HTX from Weingartz. Jake volunteered to show it off because he knew how little there was out there on RU-vid on the HTX plows. I can totally relate, because although there's a few guys making commercial snow plow videos, there still wasn't much out there for a solid resource and good information.
Jake's setup is definitely working for him, and I know he made out this winter. It was definitely a gamble, especially since we didn't really have an ounce of plowable snow in the whole month of December. Finally the white gold fell and we all cleaned up in Jan and Feb. As Jake mentioned, he does a lot of residential work and 1 commercial lot. Besides that, he's been happy with his purchase and feels like it's been a great asset to his business.
What do you guys think about the HTX plows and their versatility for the half ton market? Do you guys run one, and if so, how is it holding up? Always love hearing what you guys are using and especially the long term experiences you've had if you're running one of these. Drop a comment down below!
PS. Stay tuned around August for our snow plow training program coming to you at the Lawntrepreneur Academy. It will be epic and a great resource for those just getting in to snow removal.

Would you guys consider running a HTX on your half ton truck to keep the money rolling in through winter? Anyone else have experience with the BOSS HTX? I feel like the half ton market is wide open and this BOSS plow is actually a pretty good work horse. Lmk what you guys think 👇

@adamtarquini9400 5 лет назад

Brian's Lawn Maintenance Ive has boss sport duty on my 2010 Titan for 5 years now. Love it! I do it on the side part time and gross around 10g’s a winter up in NE. I have 2 smaller commercial lots and 10 driveways.

@ryerob741 5 лет назад

and yep that center pivot pin joining frame to plow, will snap and its a bitch to fix in field, and boss replacement part...50.00 bucks.... on our rougher lots we will break 3 of these a season, LOL covered in contract in on one of our properties, hahaha.......

@need4speed98 5 лет назад

2012 silverado 1500 with a snowdogg MD75 with nitto terra grapplers (no added weight in the rear either). Truck is used as a daily driver and part time plow truck for residentials under a friends business. Ive pushed 1 foot plus storms and had no issues at all. Only annoyance with the plow is mounting it and i had a high beam bulb go out after the first year with it also had the plastic snow deflector break while pushing into snow banks when it was -10 degrees. It's light (480 lbs roughly) so back dragging isnt as clean as id like it to be but it cuts just fine otherwise. Cost was low at roughly $4600-4800 in 2017. Always great videos and good luck to you both.

@DelsLawnCare 5 лет назад

Great video my first plow truck was a 2003 GMC 1500 and I installed the western 7'6". I have used 1/2 ton trucks until last year. They work great and will get the job done.

@jglawncare5585 5 лет назад

We had a 1998 GMC 1500. Plowed with it for 14 years. Never had a problem! The biggest snow we ever plowed was 14in. Trust me guys your trucks can handle the work. Oh yea we had a poly blade on it too.

@stevelambert2573 5 лет назад

I own a landscaping business here in northern MI, tons of snow. This season we picked up 50 new residential accounts. I didn’t want to buy another rig, so I rolled the dice on a new BOSS HTX-V and threw it on my personal 2017 Double cab Silverado. To my surprise the plow is a beast, WORKED WITHIN ITS MEANS! You quickly learn to plow a different way with the light duty plows. Sure it’s a bit slower at first, but once acclimated, I plow just as fast as I do with our HDs. I actually prefer the HTX-V. I pushes great, back blades better than any of our other plows, and also stacks higher than any of our other plows and that’s the truth! It’s lightning quick compared to most, and just all around a great plow. Again, it has its limitations as does anything. But this season I’ve pushed 12” of the heaviest snow you’ll ever see for 14 hours straight, from driveways AND parking lots, handled it no problem. Can’t say enough about this plow, great investment so far. Paid for itself in the first month of plowing, all black for the last 3 months😁😁

@BriansLawnMaintenance 5 лет назад

Dang that’s awesome pal. Thank you for the updates and info! There’s just not a lot of videos on these on RU-vid so glad to hear you’re having similar positive experiences.

@stevelambert2573 5 лет назад

Anytime. Love the vids by the way. I’ve always thought I might give it a shot, but I don’t have the patience lol. I did as much research on the light duty plows as I could, and you are correct in saying there aren’t a lot of real reviews. From a real owner of an HTX-V, if you’re looking for an awesome DRIVEWAY or SMALL commercial plow, htx is it! Keep the vids coming Brian, take care.

@northjerseykevin3915 2 года назад

That’s good to hear. I’ve been plowing on and off for 20 years. Mason dumps and 3/4 ton trucks. Thinking about putting a plow on my personal truck 2018 f150 with 5.0. I have a feeling it will do fine but a little hesitant to pull the trigger

@oby-1607 5 лет назад

Lights are everything. Gotta see what you are doing and what you don't want to hit.

@Rozzie3024 5 лет назад

I had a Boss Sport Duty, which later became the HTX. I had it on an F150 and when I sold the truck, I put the plow on a Jeep Wrangler 4 door. The Jeep handled the plow a lot better the the F150. I used it for residential drives. The plows are very lite for back dragging, but the HTX now has a down pressure option available. Boss makes it available for all straight blades. Boss just announced that the down pressure option will be available for the DXT plows.

Fantastic video as always bud!!! Hands down you are doing more for the "Lawn Care Community" than most others, even with as large as always following or Sub count. I know you don't focus on that but, the only reason I'm bringing it up is because you have the ability to reach tons more ppl. The resources you are putting out are fantastic bro.!!! I think that if I had this same resources back 20/25 yrs. ago, maybe I'd be in this full-time?? Maybe partnered with someone, or who knows. You are offering to young guys coming up (and even older guys stuck in limbo) a chance to gain some knowledge and get to the next level!!! Or even on the flip side, maybe someone will see how involved something is and figure out sooner than later that it wasn't for them... Either way I give you a sincereThank You on behalf of the entire Community bud!!! Great things still to come for you and Liz, bud!!!! God bless and Dirty Jersey out!!!

Great video Brian, I have never ran a straight blade I prefer v -plows, but straights get the jobs done too just a little bit more time consuming! TO answer your question all of bosses plows are universal as long as you have a plow frame and lighting system you can fit any plow on your truck which is nice!

@michomoreno5982 3 года назад

Oh man you were right on the money, I was just trying to figure out, if all the boss mounts were universal, I sold my truck and I just keep the plow, now I got me another truck with a boss mount so I was not sure if was gonna be able to use my boss plow. Thanks bro!

@runningscout14 5 лет назад

The only difference between mounts is the one for the HTX and the half ton V blade is the mount is lighter duty. There might be a slight difference in the electrical. I believe a truck with a straight blade has the 11 pin electrical connection. The plug is the same just less pins. A guy with a straight blade can lift a vblade but can control the wings. But a guy with a v- blade can use a straight blade.

It scraped really well and as long as you have good snow tires it tracks and pushes like a dream. For doing mainly residential there is nothing I’ve used that is easier to use than a half ton with a western plow

Yes all Boss plows are universal. You can also use a v blade controller for a straight blade or a straight blade controller for a v blade. Just all the operations will be limited to the controller. But in a pinch it will get you by for the night

Great review and update. So glad the boss plows are working well. In November of 2016 I bought a new F 350 with a Fisher XLS plow. Spent $8000 on the plow and have had the same no raise/ snow issue since storm 1 of ownership. Fisher doesn’t seem to want or to care to fix properly. Such a shame. They used to be a quality product. I am looking to change to plow out to possibly a Boss.

@dinotudisca3821 5 лет назад

No raise slow raise issue. Started 1st storm it plowed in December 2016. Returned to dealer for pump pressure quill adjustment 2 storms later went back for a new pump motor Spring of 2017 went back for another quill replacement Went in for preseason maintenance fall 2017 and first storm in December 2017 no raise slow raise issue returned. Chased it all winter. Spring of 2018 went back to dealer under Fisher Corporate direction and they replaced quill and motor again. Promised a 2” raise cylinder if problem persists Fall of 2018 in November during first snow event, slow no raise issue was back. Went back to dealer and quill was adjusted again. During the winter season we would field adjust quill every hour or so of operation. All this led to electrical solenoid burning out and sticking closed causing the power cables to melt at grill connector. All of which I was charged $400 to repair. We also had to replace all hoses due dry rotting.

@dinotudisca3821 5 лет назад

First off. i should not have to do anything. Plow should operate 100% since it was brand new. Truck is an F 350 standard cab with plow prep. All other functions work fine. Left right wing in and out. Wiring has all been replaced I have a bad hydro valve assembly. Fisher simply will not replace it.

Boss LED's do have a heating element in them so they won't freeze over. The Boss mount is a universal mount, it has been around for at least 20 years. So if someone has the right remote (V plow vs Straight) you can hook up to any Boss no matter the year, at least plows in the last 20 years.

I plow snow on the west side of the state and a modern 1/2 ton with a good set of tires and weight in the bed would work out fine. Just a couple of things try not to load up the front axle and bind it up when turning and you might want to upgrade coil springs to handle more weight. As far as snow depth you never should let your accounts pile up then plow them get out there after a couple of inches.

I wouldn't plow too much or try to stack snow with this htx. LED lights suck on it. Installed custom center bracket between both lights with a 14 inch light bar. After that, light n day difference. Factory LED lights are not adjustable. This plow needs at least 1more spring for tension.

Its a little over a year old I think I want fisher to replace the whole plow im pretty pissed off that its having issues already !!!!!!!@@grumpy1311

@grumpy1311 5 лет назад

@@RichTheitalianplumber That's frustrating for sure Rich. At a guess, it really sounds like the lift valve cartridge is not functioning properly. A small metal filing can cause the valve to stick partially open. Does the pump run while trying to lift , and seem weak, slow, then shut off with a trip timer or sensor? If so , and if they did not change the lift cartridge when they changed the pump, it would still be having issues. That would be the first thing I would swap out. Some of the dealerships dont really know the plow equipment very well.. and some do. We are fortunate to have some great resources for diagnosing and repair of equipment in our local area. It's all part of it, the more parts and pieces, the greater the odds of something not cooperating.

@@ryerob741 I was impressed how it handled the weight of the HTS (417lbs). Only thing I did was level the truck. Other than that the Avalanche did just fine for a half ton truck. Residential work and small 20-40 car lots.

@ryerob741 5 лет назад

@@usglandscaping1279 I can hear them now when I show up in Avalanche to touch up parking spaces at the hotels or the university.......since I've spent most of my snow removal career (59 yrs young next snow season, lol) in a cat 920 or dump trucks! My guys are ruthless.......thats why I like them...I should do it!

@usglandscaping1279 5 лет назад

@@ryerob741 Lol ya I wouldn't recommend it for commercial lots but driveways and small lots ya it will do the job. Next yr I'll definitely upgrade to 3/4 ton. I would definitely like to pick your brain on pointers and advice from a OG in the game. Hope I'm as blessed to be in the game as many yrs as you.

@erictulchin2317 5 лет назад

It will work but you need the hand control for the plow ur hooked to. So this friend at least knows what kind of truck to own. 😂

@Rozzie3024 5 лет назад

The HTX mount is not the same mount as on your truck. It is a smaller mount then what you have. So you can’t use his plow and he can’t use your plow. The wiring is the same.

Good to know!

@jeffreywhite7657 7 месяцев назад

Im my experience, and my opinion, i dont recommend plowing anything with a 1/2 ton truck. I plowed 1st with a 3/4 ton and the difference is night and day.

You could build that light in the rear hitch for $60.

@BriansLawnMaintenance 5 лет назад

You might be able to, but doesn’t mean someone else can..

@chuck2585 5 лет назад

Brian's Lawn Maintenance when your a business owner you need to learn how to do things. Can’t is not good enough. Buy the light from Amazon, the plate from HF, the 7 way plug and wire off eBay, look up the 7way wiring diagram. Boom. Easy. Anyone can do anything they put there mind to. You of all people should know that!

@tomscheider9133 4 года назад

Chuck Roach did the same here. Total cost was 46 bucks.

@scottfuchs9793 4 года назад

absolutely not, the rear light on the hitch. when your plowing for hours and back up to a garage door your going to run that mount straight in!!! when your getting in tight you KNOW AND SEE your rear bumper
