Reminds me of something my father told me. "Just because you bought a hammer, it doesn't make you a carpenter."
True! Someone also said. “Just because you bought a keyboard doesn’t mean you are a snow removal expert “
@@GarrettWilliams2017 that's a pretty good come back. You use what you got
@@Sc-jf3yk exactly!
@@GarrettWilliams2017 problem with you tube there’s always someone that’s never done it that’s a expert. I’ve watched some of Stanley’s videos of your business and congratulations on how well you’re doing. I never could have done it but was good at what I did so I stuck with it and it paid off with a good pension.
yes it does, it just doesn't mean your worth your salt. ["Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician." USMC Col. Jeff Cooper]
I guess this is a regional thing.. in Montreal where we get a lot of snow nobody uses plows on pickup trucks for residential driveways. They all use snowblowers mounted on Agricultural tractors, makes work easier especially as the season advances the blower allow the operator to spread the snow over a large area, avoiding massive piles of snow next to the driveway, to each his own, cheers 😊
The smarter ones use inverted snowblower on said agricultural tractors. Even for this driveway, pushing that 4' bank of snow from the end of the drive up onto the customers lawn isn't the best thing to do.
most everybody in minnesota has a snow blower. alot of minneapolis people moving out to BFE just don't know anything. the guy staked his drive way and having seen that i can guarantee it's all the home owners fault who just doesn't understand. that's why you charge a home owner like that $500 per event for that drive way because every snow fall it's going to be a head ache after the first time the snow gets over knee high. they aren't worth your time except at that price point.
my lawn deere could have handled all that in 30-35 minutes depending upon which way the wind was blowing.
You guys elected Trudeau……that pretty much means you can’t give advice about ANYTHING for at least 6-8 years.
I agree 100% about confined driveways needing a blower, but it's kinda hard to drive a tractor 70 mph on the highway.
Having fun is the plow living up to expectations and holding up without issues.
Nice video. I’ve been intrigued by those plows and this confirmed my thoughts. Excellent plow for assisting a loader in big lots where you plow small amounts of snow, but not great for large snowfalls and residential applications. I’ll take our tall winged fishers for those
💯
I'm loving that plow
Cool video to see how its done!
Go ahead and backup :)
Good video
The perfect tool for that long driveway at 2:38 would have been a 6WD motor grader with a folding v-plow or one-way plow and a wing. One can dream, right. Haha! On a serious note, if its feasible it might be well worth the time to build a few snow fences out of snow on the upwind side of that driveway. I can't tell for sure from the video, but you may have already built a snow fence or you've just simply pushed the windrow back to make more room. Obviously, there's a lot I don't know and there a good chance you've though of doing such, but I thought I would voice my idea. Never know......
8' meyer pick up truck plow at 20+mph no problems. i know that drive way, there's a line of 20 year old pine along it on a large portion, that plow he has is just to short, it should be up to the hood of the truck to be effective for winrowing.
Amazing! sir
Oh man that brought back nightmares like PTSD of my snow removal days after blizzards. Plowing 30" of snow with pick up trucks is no fun. We used Bobcats, trucks, snow blowers and snow shovels and didn't sleep for days.
Ya you are right with this much snow skiddys an loaders are nice. Rare we get this much
Love the truck thinking about buying one
Seems like a v plow would be more beneficial especially for stacking the snow. Wouldn’t mind trying one of these plows if I ever had the chance but for now I’ll stick with my fisher v plows! Thanks for sharing!
I'm hoping Western will put their expanding wings on their V plows like the wideout. Should be able to get the 9.5 ft to a 12ft when expanded.
That would be a game changer
Just add extension wings on a v plow, best of both worlds. Adjustability of a v plow and scoops like a wideout
More more more more more!!
This is nuts, thank God I live in California.........minus the strict gun laws.
Im just here for the people that hand shovel their driveways, but are now suddenly veteran snow plow operators. 👍
🙌🏼😆
That plow is a parking lot toy.
Residential driveway looks like a job built for a snowblower.
With that much snow ya!
My huskvarna has done it time and time again. Montana mountains were we get this this on. Normal situations.
Cool looking plow, idk if it could replace a v blade but could have some interesting applications
Lot of snow,
Hello Florida..!!! 👋. 🤣
I love plowing big dways! I cheat a little bit with the skidsteer. I live in a coastal community and the houses are pushed close to the street but have turnarounds and horseshoe dways. Truck prices are outta control dude. It’s fine for writeoffs but those month to month payments with the another criminal(ins companies)are too much for this one man band! So I just throw the wrench on the 20yr old 550 once a year for $2k
During that event, I actually saw you plowing the long driveway on my way to our account. I was wondering how your plow did, answered that question!
Hehe nice!! It got er done!
Mammoth California gets about 300 inches a season check out plow brothers
The only 2 thing I saw was put the snow against the transfer and up against the house other than that keep up the great work
Loving the videos that’s a lot of snow haven’t gotta much at all yet I’m in Rochester New York was also wondering if this is your business you guys do a great job and look well establish
Me and my sister started this from scratch in 2017
@@GarrettWilliams2017 Okay that’s awesome man good for you guys I love watching the videos and the work 👍🏽💪🏽 and I started in 21 trying to grow and get wherever I can be
👍👍
50 inches for you, zero inches here in R.I. so far this season!!!!
Garrett that snow makes me Cold ❄️🥶 S J
Makes me cold too when I’m walking around in knee deep snow in dudes😆
We have Chevy HD's like you wondering if you've had any without plow prep and any differences.
About 10 years ago I used to do a lot of commercial parking lots and some residential.
So many people today doing snow plowing that it's driven the going rates down so low that it doesn't make it worth it anymore.
We have a contractor doing a clinic parking lot in my area with approximately 100 car parking slots and he's doing it for $15.00 per plowing.
You see all these guys constantly going out of business because they never charged enough but yet there's always somebody right behind them to take place and charged Pennies on a dollar.
Yeah there is a ton of guys doing it in our area but we are still able to charge enough to make it worth it!
Have seen this truck around the Blaine area I believe, I do snow removal myself
Noice!
When there's that much snow back dragging isn't an option and you have to do the crab push up the driveway. I honestly think I'd put a blower attatchment on a loader and just blow them out when it's this bad if I had the option.
I would too
@@GarrettWilliams2017 i suppose you could rent the blower and put a truck on the lot in place of the loader. Dunno. I'm not involved so don't know your exact situation obviously.
Thats not cost effective unless u have hundreds of driveways in same area
@@TT-ik3kd a couple hundred to rent an attachment is nothing. It's about being able to disperse the snow and avoid huge snow piles that create problems on subsequent snows while making it easier at the same time.
Nice ! Do you ever use low range with those big plows and those tight spots ? Just was wondering
Not often !
You guys have more snow than we do in Manitoba
Craziness
Bobcat
Always bob before cat
Snows like this pay for the year lol it’s is countless hours out though but worth if your In snow removal perfect storm
I do my own driveway now, but around here they would never allow feet of snow to accumulate and charge once. It was 50 per plowing and they would come by every six inches or so. So for 18” of snow, the guy would be by three times for $150. Kept us able to get in and out during the storm. Not sure if that’s a thing anywhere else
too many customers, not enough time and an economy where people are too cheap. the big horse trailer tells me the owner has a 1 ton dually 3500 himself, no idea why he doesn't have his own plow.
I love these videos but I have a question, at the beginning of this video, why did you push all that snow closer to the garage doors before back dragging?
Simple. There was no where else to put it. Everywhere else was full and spilling out everywhere already!
A 100k plow truck, you got ripped off BIG TIME
that truck $65k starting with just the base factory model, all the dealers are price gouging since the early 90's, that's just how far they have worked it up. 2019 they were trying to make the price 95K, then covid hit XD
omg you got $100 for these? that storm wasn't even that bad, i think i was done with my own drive way which is about 1/8th of yours in 12minutes and i have a circle infront of the garage.
Need a tractor with a loader and snow pusher and snowblower for all that snow
Would’ve been nice
What your review on that sno power ?
Seems like those wings didn't hold shape well against the heavy snow. Have you guys noticed that's been a problem? I'm assuming that's adjustable too, but just curious. Good stuff!
They hold up pretty well but definitely do give under big loads.
Of course they don’t. Too much leverage. If you need a plow that big to be efficient you have the wrong tool for the job. Use tractors and inverter blowers for residential and pushers for commercial with trucks doing nothing other than detailing and windrowing for the pushers.
@@GarrettWilliams2017
Why not use locking cylinders?
@@jeffforker4130 why not just get an 8 meyer or western plow made for this since 1960
50 inches of snow?? Crazy????
BUHAHAHA!!!!
COME TO BUFFALO NY, WE GET THAT MUCH IN A SINGLE STORM!
SOMETIMES 6 TO 7 FT SNOW STORMS!!!!
No thanks. It’s a lot where I’m from.
So does the neighbor have to pay twice as much because he now has twice as much snow. LoL 😂
Lol
Question is, front snowpower or the new Arctic sections that are coming out?
Haven’t had a chance to try the new arctic yet
which skid do you prefer more bobcat or cat
Hard to say honestly. Both get the job done! Personally I’d rather grade with a cat but I’d rather plow with a bobcat
Have an f12 and it has been nothing but trouble. Back to the dealer with it tomorrow for the 7th. Time with another warranty issue 😞
That’s really annoying
@@GarrettWilliams2017 have you had any problems with yours or did I just end up with a lemon
@@HigherPhoto look at what the ford ceo said this week!
@@aprilgeneric8027 how are we supposed to find what you're talking about? How about link something or be more specific than just saying "Look what ford ceo said this week!"
Well......What did he say???
How do you like the new Chevys
How much does snow plowing shorten life of transmission in truck?
Depends a lot on the operator. We’ve had over 20 chevys an I think only 1 trans has puked
Your getting $100 a driveway? Dam I push snow in the wrong area 😂
Friend of mine plow snow in Michigan and he told me that he just got out of it because there is too many people running around plowing for 10 and 15.00 dollars.
I have a friend that works at a clinic and she told me they have a parking lot that's just over 100 slots and the guy is doing it for $15.00 per plowing.
These people blow my mind that work for so damn cheap because they're not really making any profit
@@Grasshopper80s4ever yeah I charge $120 an hour usually with a half hour minimum and I do snow removal with my skid steer and that thing isn't cheap to own. Unfortunately us snow removal guys are really at the mercy of what other people decide to charge. Luckily I live in ND where the cost of living is pretty low
@@Grasshopper80s4ever but $15 for a parking lot is insane that honestly wouldn't cover fuel and upkeep for my operation
Seems like a blower for that amount of snow on a driveway would have been a better choice.
The first driveway would be easier to clear with a small tractor/blower.
Oh for-sure! A lot easier. But we got er done.
@@GarrettWilliams2017 👍
Open space plus residential nop
So you only need to do 1,000 driveways to make it even lol
Toughest event in a long time
True!
How's the 401K?
Garrett, where's the link for your landscape contracts?

Ses like a snowblower would work better in some driveways
True!
Really a snow blower is way better , time to look at what the other guys are doing
One of those years where people regret putting in the short driveway markers...
Yeppers! Can’t see em now
nothing 1/2" pvcd with neon paint dropped over them doesn't fix
if you would have pulled your $50K bobcat there with your $100k truck, you would have gotten done sooner and done a better job. but you knew that.
😅
Damn no where to put snow on first driveway
Ik! Literally no where good so just have to shove a lil here an there to make it work..
to much reliance on technology..
back in my day we cleared the driveway by hand..
uphill both ways...
nuk nuk nuk
Backdrag would had done that in 2 passes
Not the approach I would have taken to clear a residential driveway. The idea is the take snow away from the house….
The F12 is for big lots, not really for roadway. But some people learn from experience rather than study.
What a mess, use a snow blower.
You charged $100 for that 1 driveway?
Pretty cheap if you ask me
@@Sc-jf3yk not sure where you live but where I’m at, you wouldn’t be in business long.
@@benbollman2853 you are right I wouldn't be. But when I see the overhead, $100 isn't bad.
@@Sc-jf3yk I know all all about the over head and know that wouldn’t work around my area.
only $100 for that long country driveway???? no way.....
I know a guy that's plowing 100 plus parking spot parking lot for only $15.00 per plow.
Too many people very desperate for money and they're willing to work for next to nothing.
I have a friend of mine that is an accountant and he said the cheapest states to hire services are always going to be the Democratic states.
@@Grasshopper80s4ever that’s pretty sad I don’t know how those numbers work out for him. Does he not track his gas $$$, expenses, TIME!!? lol unless they are all side by side and can do it in an hour… haha
I'd be pissed if someone plowed the snow onto the neighbors yard if I was the neighbor
Everyone with a plow thinks they know how to
around here that's snowmobiling goodness...any one who gets angry about snow in a yard better stay the hell away from minneSNOWtah cuz the city, the county and the state plow drivers will bury you, and that's before you complain.
Wrong tool for the job there sir
First off , that’s a $500 driveway not $100. Way too low
Depends on how much snow is on it
Based off the 4 feet of snow you mentioned. 2 inches of snow would be about $100.
At least up in here in canada 🇨🇦 that’s the going rates
Should of drug it all out pound in the yard bad move. Could have been anything hiding in snow like gas or pump head.
he lives in the area, city water, all gas has to be attached to the house, can't be in the yard. my brother lives no far from this subdivision neighborhood. he's seen most of these houses being built when he was growing up as a kid.
Let's all wonder together if an EV plow truck would stand up to that punishment. ...not
the battery is pretty good at keeping tire to ground contact. i've used a siding pallet on an electric sit down forklift with out door tires and pushed 16' at a time pretty well with it. cleared a whole yard for ABC supply. that's bigger than most peoples yards by 2X
Stupid plow for small driveways
Small driveways isn’t what it’s designed for but it gets the job done. The plow every Tom dick and harry has the V plow wasn’t built for small driveways either
That plow is not the for the job
I hate snow…
Worst driver I've ever seen.
What would you do differently cow boy
