I know with Snow Power they will keep innovating that plow or boss will "invent" one too. The tilting board for headlights and aero is absolutely genius with the nitro trips. Just absolute Murican engineering mastery.
According to the guy from SnoPower on Dirt Monkey's channel, it does have down pressure. The cutting blades actually come down to create the down pressure. There's only about 12 in the market right now
Love this plow, just like the back blades there are still guys that say its "stupid" This blade is a huge time saver for big lots where you cant always have a loader, looks like its built very well, and amazing how well it scrapes down! the only thing I do not like about these and the back blades are the controllers, they need to put some R+D into a nice handheld wireless controller "not a box with switches" something that is comfortable, easy to hold on to, doesn't look like its from 1999 and definitely no stupid bright lights on the controller! Thanks for another informative Video!
This does have a constant down pressure.. It’s the nitrogen cylinders that keep that constant pressure... That’s why it scrapes so good and even👍... I would love to have one of these but I’ve had so much luck with my Fisher Extreme V 2 Stainless, and it’s just so easy to put on and take off, as well as a couple other deal breaking features I just can’t justify replacing it... Someday though, I think when I buy my next new truck to add to the fleet I will take the plunge👍...clearing 14ft per swipe with a pickup truck is a beautiful thing, and I’ve yet to see something even come close to that on a pickup... Awesome piece of equipment and I hope it serves you well for many years pain free 👍....
Thank you for sharing, very interesting plow. When the wings are back, will they hit the truck when you turn the plow left or right? I wonder if it can stack snow as high as a mvp3 or wideout. Keep on sharing thanks again.
You may have already answered this but what about parts support as far as a breakdown? What's the options if something related to the nitrogen system breaks?
I have Snow plow envy!!! That thing is awesome, but on ocassion we have to have a V-plow to break through... How wide is the center section? Great video, but if I understand correctly, The SnoPro does actually have a bit of down pressure from the cylinders... Or maybe that's just the newest model coming out with the Side glass wings? Idk.
Great video! Would like to see how you connect and disconnect the plow and location of the connecting wires. Also did it come with a wireless remote like the pull plows? Great content! Super jealous you got an F12!! 👍
I had Big problems with sno power warranty with a pull plow i bought had defective release at 3mph after 10 days of plowing from brand new. They called it abuse and wouldn't warranty it. Been operating equipment and plowing for 20 plus years. For that reason ill try to spread the word on their products so other people know they dont back up what they sell.
Hey love the video. I have a snow power pull plow love it only thing I wish it was built a little more heavy duty. So im really liking the this plow but I have to know is it worth the money? I currently run a fisher xls and I have a v plow I love the xls and the western wide out . Would you recommend getting it? Does it bother you that it doesn't angle ? What you like about ? what don't like about it? Have you had any problems?
@@GarrettWilliams2017 this looks slick for sure. I think they'll maybe make the controller a little sleeker though. Interesting to see how it compares over time to the major brands.
There's no right or wrong answer. As many people will tell you, it's all about the types of jobs you have, terrain & snow falls you get. In my neck of the woods, I'd take an f12 if I stuck to parking lots and cookie cutter driveways. Out in the hills where the driveways get any combination of steep, windy, or narrow I'd take my snowex hdv w/down pressure hands down. It's all about application.
Considering how much plows cost now a days I dunno if its worth buying a new 1 lol my plows from 07 a western never had issues with it besides just minor stuff new cutting edge hydraulic hoses if I don't know how alota businesses now can evan afford snow removal with lack of shortages of people
I agree. I have been plowing streets, commercial, residential for 35 years now and have run nothing but Fisher straight blades. The price of these new v plows just don't make alot of financial sense to me . Let's face it, the v plow is most useful on a commercial lot where there is almost always a front loader with a box on site
used. go to areas with different winters than what you have. go to an area where they get minimal snow, and you'll clean up on used equipment that hasn't been beaten, just replace lines and maybe rods and fluids and roll on. we nearly stole 4 pieces of v plow, spreader, broom out of virginia/de/md this year alone, because they buy it and it just sits because it's harder to make $ on contracts when customers aren't reminded by 20 snows that they need the service, and so they won't pay. also, go to higher snow areas to get pieces of equipment that are a year old that weren't quite up to the job meyer expanding snow box.
Does it angle at all side to side? My biggest worry with it would be towards the end of the season when you have big frozen snow banks on the sides (of residential driveways) trying to get snow to roll over the banks. That's where the taller flared vplows really work best
@@boarder247 stacks 7’ pretty easy depending on the snow which is more than enough for a pick up in my opinion. If you want to really stack snow, you need a loader.
@@GarrettWilliams2017 It’s a good tool no doubt but it’s just that another tool ! Not the end all be all of plows . I’ll stick with my Boss V Blade to cover all scenarios especially breaking into a parking lot where the entrances & exits have a mountain of snow buildup from the city plows!
@@GarrettWilliams2017 interesting stuff. I've always wondered why the Hiniker's (V and C plow and spreaders) spec works so well for us, but knowing you don't get the 20" snows explains part of why they are not so over built as some others think they have to... We are in SEPA and get 15 smaller snows and every few years get 20" or 24",and have Hiniker's on our trucks and found their slightly lighter weight poly mold board is probably better on front ends than metal mold boards/Boss. We are lucky to have the MN engineering and real world testing! :) Never had a reliability issue.
That’s definitely too much weight on that IFS, you’re putting 1200 lbs of plow with about 6 feet of mechanical advantage on that truck, the front end will suffer from this weight especially with those wings picking up only adding even more leverage against that poor IFS. Unless GM made a new IFS system good to hold about 6000 lbs up front you will shorten it’s lifespan. Before anyone replies saying otherwise do a quick search for center of gravity and mechanical advantage formulas. The truck was not designed for that load and it will suffer it because they have overhead built in but the only question is for how long.
simply: the weight is hanging way out front and that gives the plow leverage which is ALL going through the front suspension and destroying it... why to not oversize a plow
Respectfully, how many new vehicles have you put snow plows on and used commercially? And I’m pretty sure that when you hook up a 30,000lb gooseneck and hit the brakes, that front suspension is designed to take much more than 6000lbs. I run a boss EXT on a 2019 3500hd and it’s over 1000lbs. My truck drives just as well as my wife’s 2021 gmc At4 diesel. And every other plow truck I have owned since 2009 has been a Chevy with ifs and never had any problems. My 2 cents.
Many new gm HD trucks have 6000lb rated front axles. I see far fewer ifs front ends compromised than any other. My 08 hd plow truck diesel has 200k plus on factory front end components. Educate yourself.
@@k.b.322 the diesels can get springs to 6000lbs but I think even most plow trucks get about 5600 lb springs other than the crew cabs, and the solid axles up front are much more durable, the steering components around them wear out but never the axle. I work for a company with over 30 GM diesel trucks and buy GM specifically because of the better ride knowing they won’t see a plow. IFS isn’t well suited for the application, it has to either be vastly over sprung to compensate or it will just sag too much and you will hit your plow frame on everything. I’ve owned and plowed with Chevy as new as a 2014, but my Fords have always held up better for that application. Now if you want to talk about which truck felt like a race car, I loved my little Chevy reg cab short bed for that, IFS and all
@@k.b.322 also these plows hang pretty far forward so 1200 lbs plus with a center of gravity and a fulcrum point well in front of an axle will quickly overload it, don’t believe me it’s in your GM manual and they also provide a basic formula to see how much axle capacity a plow takes up given its weights and distances at specific points. I’ve done the math for my plow before and I’ll let you educate yourself on how much strain you would really be putting that axle through, and for the record I’ve yet to see GM rate their 1 ton truck to hold a plow anywhere near the fords ability or rams
@@GarrettWilliams2017 like a boss the plow trips. A fisher just the blade trips. I've had bosses probably because of worn out springs that'll trip when your pushing a good load of snow. pia

Looks like a good plow . I like the low profile set up .
Thanks for demoing this plow for us! Very cool to see some inovation at work.

The plow doesn’t turn left or right. Only the wings move

That looks big and gets a lot of work done. But you gotta show us how you remove snow on both small and medium size driveways.
I would get it wired to a boss controller in a heartbeat.... just like i did my pull plow.....
Great video! Would like to see how you connect and disconnect the plow and location of the connecting wires. Also did it come with a wireless remote like the pull plows? Great content! Super jealous you got an F12!! 👍
I second this!
Currently I don’t have a wireless remote. The hook up is basically the exact same as the boss other then a couple minor details
When you were plowing the area behind the sheds how much was getting torn up?

Nice looking unit!! 👌👌
Great vid! Do you know what happens if you get a leak on the nitrogen dampers? How do you refill?
Would have to bring it to a shop that could do it.
Very nice. Thanks
Low key a good video keep it up
The truck holds that weight good, and the nitrogen in them shot shocks seems to soak up hitting the curb
If you had to pick one, would it be the pull plow or f12?
Does the middle section move left and right or is it just stationary
I believe that is has down pressure due to the nitrogen on the back end of the hydrologics
Love the videos hope to some day be ass badass as you man merry Christmas buddy
Very informative 👍
I have been running Western Plows for 35 years would never use anything else.First started with Meyer.Nothing beats a Western.
Hey What’s the weight on one of those.
Would that be a better option than a v plow or a wideout for residential driveways?
100%. I did about 8 driveways last snow event. If I didn’t have a pull plow I’d definitely want this plow.

What’s the make and model of the snow plow
Sno power F12
Wings move fast but the lift looks slow and sounds like it has all it can do to lift!
Great video and plow content. Are you able to back drag pretty good with it?
Yes very good!
Does it power angle left to right ?
It doesn’t

The mold board does not turn
Yes it has down-pressure . But you've used it over 30 hours ?
it was scraping great
It was!
how do you get it? it's not on their website
Reach out to @iron Vally equipment
Them wires dragging when stacking gives me anxiety
Good catch! Shortly after this I shortened them up!👍🏻
It uses nitrogen for the down pressure
What’s the cost of the this set up?
Roughly $12k
But can it stack snow
As good as any other truck plow yes
@Garrett Williams dang, if that's the case, that things a beast. Seems like it would be difficult to get 8 foot plus stacks.
@@boarder247 stacks 7’ pretty easy depending on the snow which is more than enough for a pick up in my opinion. If you want to really stack snow, you need a loader.
@Garrett Williams absolutely agree there. Thanks for info, appreciate it!
think they need to spend money and get a better controller to be held on to
Doesn't look like it stacks very well..
If you get a 2’ plus snowstorm this plow is just gonna bog the truck down. I prefer the V-Blade to break a first pass with ease .
True! But In my 8 years of plowing in central Mn I’ve only seen one snow event over 12” so I just can’t justify a v plow for that one rare event..
