Any spray bar attachment? It would be sweet to spray deicer behind if u wanted. The weight would be crazy in the back end with a tank plus that hydro pump and blade...

Great video Stan, it was nice meeting you guys, hopefully we'll see you in West Michigan again sometime. A lot of the questions and concerns people have in their comments seem to be the same in all the videos that are posted, best thing to do for potential customers is check out the website and other social media posts to see it in action on different types of snow and surfaces. After years of research and development this set up and design is what works best in our area where we move a massive amount of snow in a short amount of time. Another thing to keep in mind is that theses back blades are are very customizable, don't be afraid to call or email with questions about how they can be built for your specific needs.

I lived in west Michigan for 3 years. The snow is pretty crazy at times. Great to see Brian & Liz in your video!

Don't think because you live in an are that do snow a lot this thing will be good for you' this thing is a disaster its good only in open area and don't try on deep snow and you look out for taking a parked car with you sometime , imagine 16-18" snow you pulling a mountain of snow and you pushing the truck into no traction just think of it , and if you are doing a dirt road god forbid you grab a stone .

I live where the lake effect falls...nope, it's no joke. We can get a foot of snow while my Mom who lives just 13 miles east of us will get an inch. Living the dream in a snow-globe!! Fantastic plow! Gonna pass this on to my son, the plow guy!! 😎

West Mi winters can be brutal. Having a pull blade and being able to drive forwards is nice. Love dirt monkey and the video's keep them coming. And all those haters talking stuff about those type of snow blades just have never tried one.

Thanks for the video Stan. They really shine on truck docks and ramps.

Been watching all your snow videos lately for some reason. Great job on your personality and video skills man. I live in California and am hooked on your videos ..thanks for the videos man.

Nice to know they're in my hometown. Sure will be stopping it the stop when I'm home next week!

Awsome video Stan! was a pleasure meeting you and be filmed while we installed it.

I also live in Minnesota, North West to be more specific. I have a 2001 F-250 gas and a Hinicker V plow. I must say that I am impressed. And with that being said, I am now a new subscriber. Ring that bell. I did.

You can't go wrong with Michelin Tires. They good quality last awhile. had a set of Michelin Tires on our last truck " 02 yukon danali" those damn things had like 75,000miles on them. That truck an those tires- that combo /even with super bald tires, I was still pulling people out of ditches or up hills,or thru deep snow, One year when we got like a 6-8" snow fall. Was beastly. Also can't go wrong with a very well known, reputable make. With good warranty. Known not only for quality materials, but for a really good all terrain/snow tire. Good traction, but the tread keeps clean from snow buildup.

I run Goodyear duratracs favorite tire hands down great quality great traction on ANYTHING and tow great. Also have insane tread life for that style of a tire and very quiet

I have goodyear wrangler duratracs on my truck. I love them. Great in the snow, and good for daily driving too. In my area all the plow trucks run the duratracs or the BF Goodrich KO2s

We are in Cleveland, OH and would love to get one these pull plows. Great video! EXCELLENT video host and it also looks like it's an EXCELLENT product, as well.

Looks good, every plow has its pros and cons, would be nice to see one where the entire blade angles left and right just see how it would work for plowing roads and long driveways. Also could get yourself stuck if you get too much heavy wet snow piled between the truck and blade.👍

We get 3 Lake storms here in upstate NY. The good ones start over Lake Superior, come across Huron Bay the Lake Ontario. Redfield NY, in one storm, got over 6 feet inn less than 24 hours this winter. I think that pull plow would be a bit over taxed in those parts.

I gave up the truck here in southwest Michigan. I'm running a Massey 5445 with a virnig 11' v blade on the front with a custom belly cradle to hold it close to the tractor with an ebling 8x16 back blade like the above in your video on the back.

West Michigander here: BFG AT KO's. Had these on my Diesel F-250. Loved them. Tried Hankook... they didn't have the traction my old BFG' did... It came with Bridgestone highway tires. They were not that great in rain, it was almost scary. Stick with the BFG's or Firestone Destinations

I run Nitto Ridgegrapplers on my 250 and so far they are great.

Where in Michigan were you? I live in the Muskegon area and have almost my whole life. The winters lately are nothing like they used to be. I remember where we got slammed with blizzards day after day for sometimes weeks on end. Now, we're lucky to see one or two really bad snow storms a winter. Whoever stole our winter....WE WANT IT BACK!!!! OMG!!!! I just googled Short Iron Fab. and it is right around the corner from where we used to live!!!! LITERALLY!!! We lived less than a mile from there for about 14 years!!!

Cooper zeon ltz best tires for snow and wet roads. I used them for two sets. They don't get great miles. But they are the best compound on the market. Currently I'm running Mickey Thompson bajs ltz. They are made by cooper and have a similar compound. Also a great tire in snow rain and mud. Both great tires. I drive my truck hard and fast. I have to know good tires. I've used many brands but these are great tires. Imo. But what they say about opinions.

Come check out the Auburn and Syracuse area of Central New York if you want to see a lot of Lake Effect snow fall consistently! Very similar to Michigan in terms of the Lake Effect snow but off of Lakes Erie and Ontario. Though this year it has been a warmer winter so not as much snow.

I know this video is 2 years old but if you need new tires look at Goodyear Duratrac. Unbelievable tire and they are great for off road and snow.

Stan you should look up the snow vac it’s made in Pennsylvania it’s a truck mounted snow blower that goes on a plow frame.

I use toyo at2 they have been on my cummins dodge ram for 4 years now and threads still look new. Never lost traction in any weather. I used to use wrangler silent armor pro but tires would only last 6 months. By the way i live in north dakota as you know we get as much if not more snow then mn so my tires are pushed to the limits on my small car i use toyo artic and nexxen on my subaru

Try BF Goodrich TA KO2. Great Tire. Good traction Great wear. Low road noise considering an aggressive tread pattern. Good fuel economy.

Had great luck with good year duratracs but right now I have sick cepeck fun county mt and they're wonderful in the snow, sand ,mud

I run the Cooper Discoverer M+S Studded snow tires on my 2016 GMC 2500. You can still safely drive the speed limit with 6 inches of snow on the ground, they wear like iron my Dad has 7 years and about 20,000 miles on his and they still have about 3/4 of the tread left. I can't say enough good things about these tires.

I like my hankook dynopros, fairly decent mileage but they are fairly soft with a course pattern

This type of blade works well in Lake Effect snow belts. In these regions, people are so used to snow, that it doesnt matter whether the ground is scraped clean after every snow fall, its just their way of life, all winter long seeing snow on ground. Here is Southern Ontario ( greater Toronto area) we would lose a contract over night if that parking lot is not "july" clean with 36 hours.....The Pull Plows have their place, Just not where I live. I would never get my lots clean enough with one of those.

Tires- I have 2 plow trucks a Chevy 3500 and an older F-350 and the tires I use on both of them are Kenda Kr-29 10 ply tires. Both trucks have 8 foot straight blades with wings and I have 500 lb concrete ballast blocks in the back of each truck. The tires are a bit noisy but not obnoxiously. Before I used to use Cooper M+S tires and I liked them but they wore fast. The Kenda's seem to wear great and I plow 90% of the time in 2 wheel drive now. I have had the Kenda's on my 01 F-350 for going 4 years now and right around 25,000 miles, I would be willing to bet they have at least another 20,000 miles left in them

So, I'm curious as to how you feel about it now? after a year to compare, how is it in regards to Boss or Western?

Falken ATW3 wildpeak AT tires or Hankook dynapro AT's excellent all around tires with lots of siping that offer great snow traction.

Got damn that thing is awesome!

I run the wild country cycle sport 10 ply on my truck and it does well for plowing.

The Goodyear Wrangler silent armour LT tires are pretty popular here in Canada on our 3/4 to 1 ton plow trucks

Either bf Goodrich KO2's or Goodyear Duratracs. That's the 2 New England tires and they both hold up really well. KO2 is better for just snow but the Duratracs are good in mud and snow.

Very cool concept. Where in Minnesota? Up in Bemidji, never seen theses. Very enjoyable vid. Happy and safe plowing.

On the Canadian side of the snow belt here. Environment Canada says the average is 4000 mm of snow/yr. That's about 13 feet of snow. Snow removal is big business. Never seen a pull plow. Most snow removal is done with tractors with blowers. They mow golf courses during the rest of the year with the tractors.

People are hating on these plows. they been around for over 20 years. the haters are looking at it like it was invented last year. I WILL OUT RUN A LOADER WITH 16' BOX ALL DAY AND NIGHT . UNLESS ITS 6" OF HEAVY. Then the loader got me. Truth...
