What a great snowy Minnesota winter for testing snow plows and pushers. Great job as always, Stan.

Definitely a good snowy winter! Thank you Don

I liked using a cat 980 with a 30 foot pusher. Unbelievable power and unbelievable amount of snow it can move. Operated at Port of Newark, Newark NJ.

I have used a 16' snow pusher and I liked it for clearing large parking lots with a wheel loader. I liked this video, showing the options that fit the application, great video Stan!

Just putting wings on your truck plows while pushing parking lots makes a huge difference.

A good payloader with snow blower for deep snow and drifts. The sectional pushers look handy as hell for small to mid snows with out winds

The best combo i think is a tractor with a snowblower on the back and a snowplow/bucket on the front loader. I have used this combo for some time and i love it. With the snowblower on the back i can drive forward and throw the snow out of the way, and with the plow on the front i can easily clean up intersections and what the blower doesn’t get.

Great difference of the two main snow equipment (pusher & plow ). Thanks for the vid.....need one of your hats...!!!

Def is not that big of an issue in the cold. The system is dormant untill the def tank heats up. No need to preheat. Get in and get to work. Once it thaws and the exhaust is up to temp it will go active and start dosing. I do a good part of our aftertrestment work. Biggest issue I see is operators not working the machine hard enough to keep it up to temp so it can't regen.

Arctic all the way. It's unbelievable how productive they are. We have a 14 ft and 11'6" ft on Volvo l90s. Won't go any other way

Do you drive the 14’ on the rd in traffic?

Kage!! Best of both worlds in one piece of equipment...nothing better

A pusher that goes on the bucket edge I prefer. Can drop the box and use the bucket when needed

Three years ago i had two trucks with boss 9'6" with wings and a JD260 skid with a boss sk10. I now run two loaders, one with a 10.5ld sectional and the other with a 14hd sectional. I have 10 more accounts than three years ago and my operating expenses are down 57% with fuel and labor savings. Even with the additional accounts the routes are completed in the same time. Size of accounts vary from small gas stations to truck stops. Located in nw montana, 33.7 inches of snow for the month of February and totally kept up with the snow fall without stress. Im done with plow trucks! Loaders and sectional plows from here on out. Competition is running kage plows. Same plow time but sectional plows cut the snow and ice to asphalt. Kage doesnt even come close to the same quality of finish. If your knocking a sectional its because you havent ran one. As far as wearables, the cutting edges get about 300 hrs and the rubber blocks last forever if you lift the plow as taught by sectional instructional video, or maybe 100 hrs if you insist on using the plow like a bucket and digging at the snow pile. Once you fold and crush the rubber blocks they dont have the same holding power and will snap prematurely. But money made far outweighs the cost of cutting edges and blocks.

Excellent video Stanley,thankyou.

agree with the 74hp machines, just moved up to a 74hp Wacker Neuson sw17 from a 68hp 226d cat. 74hp does better on fuel. 74hp Wacker sw17 get 3.5 gallons for 10.2 hours and the 68hp Cat does 2.7 gallons for 3 hours of work. Wackers was at 3/4 throttle and the Cat was at full throttle.

Great review and video. Once that sectional plow has hydraulic wings, then I believe it will be the ultimate plow/pusher, bar none !!

What were the temps while you were plowing? There's a big difference between 25° and 5° when it comes to the ability to scape a lot to bare pavement. That being said, your lots look great!

This winter I worked for a snow removal company in an airport, we clear the parking's, sidewalks, roads and tarmacs, we use snow pushers and snow plows, the snow plows with wings we use typically on the loaders, for roads and a bit also on the tarmacs for loaders pulling the snow brooms, to haul snow we use John Deere 6250 tractors all equipped with extendable snow pushers in the front ( up to 20 feet) and rear(12 to 16 feet), the front ones we can angle them but have fixed wings, so we can do curbs almost perfectly, the rear one is also extendable but in a fixed angle. When we need to scrape ice, we overload the pressure on the pushers, we then loose a bit of traction, when the ice is very hard, we call the loaders in wheelly mode, they switch their blades and put the buckets on, and scrape ice on 2 wheels, that is the only thing that works. We also have mini Kubota tractors for alleys and sidewalks, with blades with adjustable wings and snowblower in the back. My take is simple, we have only one blade with no wings, and it is almost a useless piece of equipment, we never use it, I only wish the huge tractors had adjustable wings, it would be the perfect equipment, you can haul a lot of snow with a blade with adjustable winds, when you need just to move the snow aside from the road ans use all the force of the blade, you simply fold the wing completely in the back, but you can switch in a second to haul snow by getting the wings in the front! But the money is on the large tractors, they can haul very huge amount of snow with both snow pushers.

Excellent Video! In talking about NOT keeping all four wheels on the ground, this puts extra wear and tear on the plow. Also one thing to add about a pusher versus plow, is the shape of the area being plowed. Long narrow areas a plow is likely better than a pusher.

Any reviews or advice on loader scales? I'm looking into getting one but can't find any advice online.

Ok... I now lust for a plow!

What is the best value for big commercial lots for price and efficiency? 1. Truck & Plow - Around $50k depending on the setup 2. Skid Steer with Truck & Trailer - $100k for skid steer, trailer and truck 3. Loader with big pusher - $100k all in but can't use a loader for summer work

Def fluid will freeze but all def tanks have heaters in them. Your equipment will run no problem. Yes it is more to go wrong but get used to it because it's here to stay.

Do they make standard plows for pickups?... I'd buy a sectional plow for a pickup truck.

Could you chain up the sldg maybe front wheels only and put it against a bigger wheel loader for some fun?

In my opinion for a skid loader, in my opinion you can’t be the Kage best of both worlds, limited parts that can fail. Built like tank! For a backhoe or loader the Artic Sectional pusher was the best in 2011 when I purchased it and still is the best today. Just depends on the machine I guess.

Have you looked at Metal pless? I want one for my compact cat loader! A plowmaxx

Anyone else watching that has NOTHING to do with the industry? Snow removal and Stanley are just satisfying.

Congratulations on 300k!

This is like trying to say which screwdriver is best A Philips or a flat blade. They are both different And both good But they do 2 different job functions. It's the same with the snow pusher and the snow plow.

Great video! You should try an HLA snow wing. It’ll do what a pusher and a plow will do. They’re expensive but worth it.

i remember you saying that your businesses are separate from eachother. but do you contract the snow moving through your lawn care company or construction company or both?

Looks like your using a s185 in the video…basically 60 horsepower. What size pusher are you using on that machine? And what size blade is recommended here to use on a s185 also? Thanks

ok i know this might be a old video but can you put a artic plow on a pick up ?

I have a idea with arctic they could make plows just like that for the free way trucks for potholes and ext that would probably make a lot of money

To the pros out there: what's best for a simple home owner doing their own driveway and maybe 1 or 2 other driveways tops? I have a 34.5 hp tractor with ssqa loader but thinking to just to get a truck with a 7.5 -8' plow. Seeing snow pushers and possible snow blowers makes one think which is faster and easier? A truck can be driven place to place easily whereas the tractor would have to be towed. Truck seems to plow faster than tractor too. Any pro input or are you guys too large scale to even think that small? Lol thx

I want to see skid loader artic pusher vs skid loader quattroplow And I want to see 16" pull plow vs 15'6 artic pusher

So I'm on the search for a Arctic HD Snow wing blade for a JD 564 payloader. Any ideas on who, where, and how much? Anyone using them?

One of those plows but with wings? Then you can sign me up when you start selling those is Europa! The seem to follow the ground great! But i need to be able to go bouth small and large at different times! ❤🇸🇪

It depends on what you're plowing, how much area, how much volume (of snow), and who you're plowing for.

Snow removal entertains me. We clear our hard surfaces with Oshkosh H series blowers and brooms. But when a blower sucks up a manhole cover it is NOT a fun fix.

Have you seen the JCB Teluscid

DEF starts to crystalize at 12°F (-11°C). Also, "During machine operation, SCR systems are designed to provide heating for the DEF tank and supply lines. If DEF freezes when the machine is shut down, start up and normal operation of the machine will not be inhibited. The SCR heating system is designed to quickly return the DEF to liquid form and the operation of the machine will not be impacted. The freezing and unthawing of DEF will not cause degradation of the product." (credit www.jmesales.com/commonly-asked-questions-about-diesel-exhaust-fluid-def/) Also from Case " DEF in the machine will freeze, but it will not affect machine performance or expand beyond the size of the tank. DEF is quickly thawed during the machine warm-up process on cold mornings." So as you can see, DEF is not really a big deal. Is it an extra step, yes, is it pain to carry around, yes, but if you need big machines, you need big machines.
