It’s 2023… I’d take a boss plow any day over a western… I hear they’re junk!
@402outdoorzx510 ай бұрын
This is just a western schill ad, and the speed test, the boss has way more articulation so its obviously gunna take longer, the western has very short strokes. You can short chain a boss, just carry 4 ft of chain in the emergency box. And have you ever hooked up a western by yourself? "Easy hook system " dont forget the 8 pins needed lol

I’ve used both western and boss I like them both they are top notch plows the boss it’s bit more complicated to take off and put it in the western it takes less than a minute. I’ve used western for the last 8 years it never let me down the only thing went bad on it in 8 years was the controller I just bought another truck with western mvp3 plow I absolutely love it

Boss hands down I had a western. I run boss now. Lots of labor. Attaching brackets removing brackets for ground clearance. If the western settles in soft or frozen ground melt. Mounting isn't easy at all. It's harder. As for theft . Why they to remember a code. I can just unplug my controller. Good luck if you want to take my plow. Unless you have a controller on you. Boss is heavier then western. That's important on commercial jobs. Scrapping a parking lot to bare pavement. To salt for the hospital. Bring any western you want. I'll bet you 500 I can stack snow higher. And push your piles back more

I run a Western but this just shows how good both are. The fact that they are nitpicking things on the Boss that really don't matter shows they are fairly equal. I've used a Boss plenty of times and they are great plows and probably will be my next one if this Western ever wears out.

There is only one plow everyone should buy it’s not a straight blade and it’s not a V plow it’s the (boss EXT) and like boss says you get a true 10 feet when compared to your competitors just over 9 feet that would be western… Just like boss says it’s a parking lot plow… I have one and I have been plowing for 34 years and as far as I’m concerned it’s the best plow ever made!!!

Boss is and has always been the better plow. I only have a western now because that's what my grandfather wanted when he owned the business. When it comes time to buy a new plow it will be a boss! The comparison of the controllers was a complete bunch of bs. If you push in the middle of the top buttons you get scoop and middle of the bottom buttons you get vee same as middle of the left both wings operate to give you left angle and same for the other side. There's nothing better or worse about one control over the other because they all have the exact same functions. I guess one better benefit would be that boss does it with only 5 switches so it's less parts to wear out.

This comparison is 100% false and a complete lie you can operate the boss angle left and right with one button push if you are going to the right push the center of the right two buttons and it will go to the right one button same as the left push the center of the left side buttons and it will angle to the left all by itself you want to go to the scoop mode push the center of the top two buttons it will go in the scoop mode and it will do the same thing in V if you push the center of the bottom two buttons it will go to V the boss is truly one handed operation another nice thing about boss when the blade flips instead of the edge it is a lot safer if you hit something that's over 4 in tall with the Western you're going to hit the dash of your truck where the boss will bend the blade over and fly over that obstacle

This is 3 years late, but even 3 and more years ago you could use the BOSS v controller and run a straight blade. AND you can run a straight v blade with a straight blade controller but will only be able to use it in the straight blade configuration. I know this because we have 3 BOSS plows. 2 v blades and 1 straight. I needed a backup controller one night when out but only had an extra straight controller in one truck. That was able to get me through the night when I could get the correct controller and the other fixed
