BOSS V-Plow Vs. Straight Blade (which is better?)

Hello, thanks for watching!
On today's episode I discuss some of the positive aspects of both the BOSS DXT V-Plow and the Super Duty Straight Blade. Both plows have been amazing so far, but they are very different and one may be better for you depending on what sort of work you're doing.
My hope is that after watching this video you'll have a better understanding of each and are prepared to make an informed buying decision if you're thinking about getting into the snow plowing business or upgrading your equipment.
Remember, this is just one mans opinion. Please do more research or find out more about each plow on the BOSS website here: www.bossplow.com/

    I bought a Boss 7'6" straight because i have to get in some tight spaces. I also bought the Boss wings for it.... make my straight into a 10' scoop. Simple is great... thinking about a pull plow next. Great video

    The wings are a great addition. I would love to get a tailgate plow eventually, would be so nice to just back up to a garage drop the blade and drive out! Thanks!

    Nice, I thought about adding the wings to mine as well but thought it might stick out a little too far on either side.

    does the straight blade have float option if you tap the center button?

    Yes sir! You cannot disconnect without first putting the plow into float mode.

    Yes, you can! I've done it many times. A straight control will even run a v plow, but it will function just like a straight.

    Hmm, I'm not sure, I was never told that but that could be right. I will say that I noticed a big difference this year when I mounted the DXT on the Diesel version of the RAM 2500, the front end is definitely a lot beefier. The gas performed well still, but you could feel the plow a lot more on the front end.@@Snortolodmyr-SS-Cokelensky
