Nice you got your logo on the plow that's sweet.

What about a pull plow, such as the BOSS drag pro 180 z? Tons of videos out about them.

I’ve never used one so I can’t share my experience but rather my opinion. They look very specific and not as versatile as other front mount plows. Don’t get me wrong, looks like they do a lot but can’t replace or substitute for a normal plow. Depends on the type of service provided.

Good video

I'm living in AZ, and got a quote for $8,600.00 for a Western 7.5 HTC plow, and from a different Western dealer about $9,600. They include snow shoes, back blade, and snow deflector. I also got a quote for like $7,600 for a snow Dogg. I'm thinking that AZ just doesn't have much competition, and they are able to overcharge, or because prices on metal have gone up severely since covid.

I wouldn’t be surprised if prices have gone up in the past two years. That does seem a bit high though considering I purchased both a plow and salter for that price.

Yea, that’s definitely on the low end. You probably won’t find a heavy duty plow installed for that price anywhere in the country. You could probably find a residential grade model for a 1/2 ton truck in that price range. Something pretty light duty. But if you are in AZ that might be all that you need.

I would like to say that I have been given a snowplow it's a Meijer is probably maybe five years old maybe ten years old have been given it that's my question I hope it gets through to you

I wish that I had more on you and I meant that in a good way I've been given a Meyers snow plow I would like to know what it's worth but I can't get nowhere cuz I don't even know how to run this stupid phone LOL

I need something for $1500. Snow sport plow for me.😁

Western is a chain lift and snow ex is a direct hydraulic cylinder lift

Some Western models are hydraulic. If you look at them they are nearly identical to SnowEx. Western, SnowEx and Fisher are all brands under the Douglas Dynamics umbrella.

I've used a Boss plow years ago. The attachment method was difficult and frustrating. Hopefully they have improved. But the SnowEx Automatixx quick connect is super fast and simple. I couldn't see myself using anything different.

They are both made by Douglas Dynamics. So basically the same with a few differences. What makes Fisher better? I prefer the Automatixx quick attachment system on the SnowEx.

Where's Fisher plows? They are the king.

I reached out for quotes for all brands. For some brands I had several dealers within a 1-2 hour radius. But Fisher only had one dealer. They didn’t give me a quote on a Fisher plow. Personally, I’ve never used one so I can’t say much good or bad.

Plows are so expensive now a days its a wonder any business can afford to evan have snow removal if I was plowing for some 1 now a days I'd want minimum of 225 an hr lol

I have a buddy in Grand Rapids Michigan who has a contract for a couple big store parking lots, and if there is 1" on the lot, they want it removed. He is working some long hours with that agreement, and he told me about one time he started hallucinating while tired and plowing. What did he see in his hallucination? He saw dollar bills coming off his plow with the snow. :)

@@blacksmokematters4521 That is a business expense that would save thousands in taxes. It may not be much (compared to not paying taxes at all for your production.), but it is not like your personal truck that you have to pay for all the repairs. Plus, there are things you can to to keep corrosion at bay, which would also be a business tax write off. But what most people do in my rural area, is just use a junk truck and barely keep it running,--then onto the next one. Nope--they are not getting the write off's,---for a reason I am you you can figure out. 50 driveways 10 times a year, 40 bucks a pop average,---20 grand man.

Believe it or not I'm listening to your video it's not a v-plow it's a straight-up you know what plow is just straight-up not straight up but no v-plow please I need some advice

Boy, prices of everything have gone up so fast since the 2020 selection. We are losing the free market in an economic war with the globe state, and nobody seems to be looking for the right path. I am paying 20% more than the 7'6" straight plow, for a smaller SnowEx plow (7'2") for my Jeep next week. What is that gain in 2 years, 15% a year? Hello communism.
