Nooooooo, I don't tune out I'm here to the end Stan. And since you asked, tomorrow will be 62° and by Tuesday it will be 68°🥵😄 but I'm here in North Carolina we hardly ever have a winter. Awesome plow right there Stan 👍👍 Stay warm and Be safe my friend. God Bless! Jay.
A really sharp video!! I got a feeling it's going to be a very long snow 🌨 season. Better have lots of spare parts on hand.Well,as us old times like to say,(It's need to have a good snow cover to keep the frost from going too deep.) Thanks 🥶.
It has been in the 40's the past two days, looks like more of the same for a few more days. (by Noaa's forecast) Northwestern SD next to Big Sky Country!!!!!! (MT) We had brutal cold and wind chills around 60-70 below zero a week to 10 days ago. Thanks for the upload Stanley!!! You are getting close to the 1M mark on subs.......😁😁😁😁😁😁
52 degrees and rain just outside shitcago. Hopefully it snows alot more. Had the storm of a century hit us just before Christmas that gave us 1.7 inches of snow. Yup. Storm of the century. Get some rest and enjoy the snow. Always love your snow videos. Could you keep em coming until July or August? Lol.
That F12 is the best plow I have seen that you have owned for a truck. Watching your old videos and I haven’t seen a review from when you guys put the winter equipment cutting edges on your western plow and you were going to compare to the upgraded western cutting edges. More snow plowing videos Dirt Monkey
Seeing is believing here. That plow is fantastic. Frankly, I expected you to break it on the hardpack. I lived in a small town where the side stretto we lived on wasn’t plowed for a couple of days. When they finally did show, they couldn’t get all the hardpack. The result was a very icy street. Our best plow turned out to be the January thaw.
Really enjoy your videos. I picked up a 60" kfi plow this year and mounted it on a Honda Pioneer 1000-5. It has been pretty good so far this year in S.E. Montana doing residential driveways and sidewalks.
I appreciate everything y'all do for everyone. I live in the UP and it's people like you guys who keep my ma from falling during the awful winters and allowing myself to get to work. Respect
Awesome job Stan I personally don't have any experience in plowing but my brother plowed back in the day. I do enjoy watching though. God bless and as always be safe 👍
Thanks for mentioning your ramble. I was able to snap out of your angelic Dirt Monkey hypnotism act and back tap and re-listen to your valuable experience. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us.
55 degrees here in Northern Illinois Right now and all the snow is nearly gone. Next few weather systems will bring rain for us however Minnesota may see some more snow. Can not wait for your next video Stan!
There was really no need to have anyone come in and salt because that plow did such a great job. It got down to pavement enough that the sun would be able to do the rest. Impressive.
Man that thing scrapes so nice you have 5 to 8 headed you way just was in St Cloud for the weekend and kept getting the alerts on my phone. Storm Equipment is putting together my 910 Cat tomorrow with a 10-42-18 Metal Pless can’t wait💪🏼
Happy New Year too you and the whole dirt monkey family!!! I plow in new England and that hard pack I've always used a skid steer but wow that really proved that plow saves money on many levels keep up the torture on equipment it is great!!!
When mom and dad lived in northern North Dakota and the parking lot was stacked to two stories. It finally melted in August almost time for snow. Crazy place.
Man Stanley, I wish we lived closer, I live near Grand Rapids michigan and I use a John Deere 5075M tractor with a 9’ pusher on the front and a 18’ back blade on the back. If we lived closer I would say we should do a video with your loaders vs mine!!!! Maybe someday my guy!! Love the vids.
Been getting snow non stop through december up here in alberta, been using my sno dogg vxf95ii for 3 years now, works really well but yeah that sno power really bites down on that first pass, even the back drags were impressive.
Hello Stan I am in New Hampshire Salem and we have not gotten any snow like you have at all of course I just bought the new plow and trailer hitch Salter this year first year of business in my new truck just waiting for the snow so I can make some dough just a couple of 1 inch dusters as they say it always seems when you get your new equipment that winter it never snows well Stan merry Christmas happy new year to you and your family and all your staff looking forward to a great new year Landscaping starting off the season right😊
Just saying I found when back dragging snow out I fist plow in forward and then lift the blade up over the pile and then back drag it comes alot alot cleaner because your blade facing forward scrapes way better and your tires or tracks Don pack in that bit of snow either
I didn’t used to like boss plows but with the company’s they bought the last few years there far and away the best winter work company right now and yea he uses nitrogen the same way your trucks shocks do he just added a pump to the rams so he could actively control the pistons like standard hydraulics or traditional pneumatics and with his nito filled pneumatic system you don’t have some of the major problems that you would normally encounter it’s a great solution
An 8ft wideout by sno-way plows can do the same thing as that, also because it has down pressure which is the key to great scraping compared to good scraping.
Stan sunny and 47 here today in Philly like summer only had 1 minor salting event so far your getting hammered I know you don't get paid to take a loader there but skidsteer doesn't care about packed snow beats the crap out of a truck
Hi, from Mid western Ontario. Just had a 3 day storm, all roads were closed for 2 days. 12" -15" of snow and high winds. Today is Dec 31 and has been 45°F for a few days. Snow is 1/2 gone !
I have been out of the business for about 14 years but I used to sell and work on Western snow plows. On a 3/4 ton Chevy truck with a 9'6" v plow Western called out for a 1000lbs of weight in the back of the truck. Makes a big difference to be properly weighted. Also we had back drag edges that bolted on the back of the plow to help scrap hard pack snow when back dragging. That plow seems short from ground up not much height to the blade. Is it short because it's so long to save some weight.
Buffalo NY...70mph winds this past week and tins of snow, but we handled it pretty well. Unfortunately people don't heed the forecasts a d driving bans and we have over 25 lives lost
Like the way it plows! How long can you normally get out of a set of cutting edges and do you see value in Winter edges? As for our weather we got hit with a foot of snow and 65 mph winds for 3 days, was pretty easy moving on most lots but where it would drift was horrible. Last few days in 50s we melted about 3 ft off piles
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Not sure if you ever answered this in the past or not. Any ideas on plow trucks with manual or automatic transmissions. Any difference in strategy. I’ve heard plenty of noise in both sides of the issue. Wishing you and your family the best and a happy New Year.
I didnt make it home till christmas night due to michigan/ chicago storm. I was supposed to be home fri night but the roads were getting snow pack into ice pack and i had an empty van trl and with the strong winds i got pushed around so i had to park for 24hrs. I thought roads were better and got going and made it 12 miles and sign said at mile mark 29 the highway was closed due to accident and i need exit 34 and i was counting up so i had to shut down again. Not my idea of spending Christmas in the semi. We dont celebrate then so not the worst. I appreciate all the snow warriors. Have a good start of 23
I live in northeast Pennsylvania and our weather over the last week was below average we were looking at temperatures in the teens with 30 to 50 mile an hour winds putting the windchill temperature in the sub 20 to - 30ﾟ.
It does cut well that's for sure but the lack of salt or deicer on that property around here would be a liability nightmare regardless of plow scraping ability.
Looking all the way back to the installation of the F12, I think it’s fair to say that you would have never seen the full potential of this plow if it had been installed on a different brand of truck.
My 6 year old has been obsessed with watching your plow videos since we got a plow last winter. At the end of this video you have dark glasses on my son wants to know if there are regular or safety?
You are cutting up the Hiniker. Last year when you showed that plow demo with that big heavy diesel it looked like a keeper. Would that plow be good breaking trail? Like a v plow is so good? Maybe not. But more surface area for parking lots.
Off subject slightly, I was reading a report that was saying the plowing of snow with a pickup was hard on the automatic transmission...they would overheat and fail. Have you experienced any issues like that and I am curious if a trans oil temp gauge would be helpful. Thanks for another great video. I learn from them as well as enjoy your style.👍
Have a question about previous video looking @ roll offs trailers how do you like it? Is it well built like a Sure Trac dump trailer or what would you recommend built strong no cookie cutter appreciate your opinion love videos
Living Ina place that doesn’t snow enough to plow makes me wish I could live somewhere I could plow snow for a living I’ve always wanted to do it for a living I would go to Ohio in the winter just to train myself how to drive in the snow and I would run a plow at my grandmothers house she had a driveway that was 100 yards and I thought it was awesome lol
I think they need to change how the blade trips. If your using that like a pusher and hit something like a manhole what does the blade do? I like how western plows the cutting edge trips back and not the whole plow. So when you have a plow in v the edge trips.
if that lot were my lot to plow (and we get a lot of packed ice lots) I'd bid it for 300 lbs of ice melt bare and dry. for packed ice removal. we put down 2x the bare volume down of ice melt with the tail gate spreader, let that 600 lbs burn in for about 15 or 20 mins and then scape it clean with 10x less time and effort. then a final salting pass of an additional 300 lbs after scraping everything up. so packed ice uses 3x the bare and wet volume of ice melt... Out here in Seattle, packed ice lots are just an everyday thing and my guys are awesome at it! :-)
When you put down salt you own the slip and fall injury claims. That is why you only contract for snow plowing. Don't ever call it snow removal if you do than they can expect you to haul it off the property at your cost.
@@robertvannicolo4435 ya, out in Seattle where we’re at, the snow and ice game is a WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL. Out here we maybe get one or two plowing events every year, so plowing is a losing game. De-icing is the main thing, because it does get cold, and it’s always wet. De-icing and salting services have to be WAAAY more expensive, because that part of the service has to pay for the plows and labor, and insurance if it doesn’t snow at all. In the mid west, a de-icing service that costs 80 90 bucks might cost 2 or 3 hundred here. On top of all that, it’s chaos out here, very little experience, a lot of the snow contractors are just some dude with a plow, and maybe he shows up, maybe his plow or his truck is functional when it matters. If clients out here want a reliable service they gotta pay for it. It’s not competitive like in the central US at all. We have our own little thing going on out here, I assume we are stupid expensive next to most areas of the country, but I can never meet the demand each year…. Each October November, I have commercial properties all trying to dig like into our deployments lists. When it snows, we damn near kill ourselves trying to address everyone’s needs. It’s absolutely BONKERS. There is no “we’re not paying for salt” here. If I have no time for any push back on price. We do our best to keep the cost low, but when we run into bulls trying to oust us around, they just don’t get service. And from what I’ve heard from the small handful I’ve had to cut ties with, they deeply regret not understanding the situation we’re in out here…
@@michaelatoz580 ya, no, we don’t have those problems out here in Seattle. Don’t get me wrong, Seattle has a lot of problems, but those aren’t one of them…. We don’t accept liability for slips and trips whether we salt or not. Our contract language is VERY clear. There are couple companies out here that do take that promise to accept liability on, but everything I’m hearing from their clients who get kissed off and dump them mid season, is because they don’t show up. It’s a couple National companies that farm it out to local guys. I think the Problem is most of the local don’t show up from what I hear, because the sub rates are so low, and they take months to pay, the general contractors have basically run out of subcontractors. They’ve burnt all their bridges, and have no labor force left to serve their contracts out with. It’s chaos out here!
Have you ever done a video about or reacting to the videos showing Montreal snow cleanup? Or other extreme snow cleanup or equipment? Like the municipal trucks where the trailer crabwalks out and cleans 3 or 4 lanes at once. Or just recently I came across some narrated videos from the 30's and 40's of trucks with HUGE fixed V plows just having to hit snow drifts over and over again. But the Montreal thing blows my mind, the sheer amount of infrastructure is mind-boggling to me, growing up in Michigan, a snow state, and seeing how we do the bare minimum if anything at all. I don't even know Montreal's industry or what their taxes must be like to afford to do that level of snow removal. Maybe I am just a sheltered dumb American, and there are similar operations in North America.
Hey Stan! Hey we are running the snow dogg v plows on some of our rams. I’m noticing they like to run a little too hot for my liken. Other than dropping the blade down low for travel do you have any other advice or prep we do to trucks for plowing like hd fan clutch or snow shields. Maybe something to film about?!? Keep doing your thing! -Gordon GPC LANDSCAPING
Sir I want to ask you a question my question is what's the best snow plow for a pickup that you think and recommend for me to start up my snow removal and cuz me and my dad are doing our mowing but we want to get into doing snow now and is actually this question what's the best you recommend for plowing for trucks and what kind of truck that you like to plow with
Nice I work for a non profit, I plow with a 16 f250 with an 8ft fisher with the Add on extensions...(a lil more than 9ft) and run a bobcat t190 with a Snow blower. We have a stainless electric buyers salt/sander . And the other trucks run 8 ft .fishers ... what do you run?
@@dieselXJ We are running a 19 Ram 2500 with Blizzard speed wing plow and salt dogg shpe 1500 spreader. A 18 Titan XD single cab set up same exact way. 16 Ram 2500 with a snow ex 8 foot straight blade. A Kubota lx3310 with a plow and a bucket to move snow. And I just picked up another 19 Titan XD that I’ll be setting up this week with another Blizzard plow but no salter.
