  • Side by side comparison of 7 different snowplows. Boss, Western, Hiniker, Fisher, Snowdogg, Sno-power & Short-iron. The good, bad and whatever else we could figure out on these plows as we look at them all together.

    I was from RI and always had Fisher plows. The last ones I ran were Minute Mount 2's They were great and trouble free. We always did bigger jobs than we were supposed to with pickups. One trick was (cutting edge were soft) we had a welder friend that made cutting edges from (hi-strength) scrap metal and discarded municipal blades. He also drilled the holes so that we could reverse them and get longer life out of a single piece. Fisher store would be open 24 hours during an event. I never had to visit them lonely people in the middle of the night. Oh and the Fisher trip edge! Only the bottom 6" of blade folds under when you hit an obstacle and the rest of the blade stands up straight. You don't lose any snow.

      There's no sense in flipping a cutting edge. You need a certain amount of lap on the moldboard and the rest is cutting edge beneath it and you wear it down until there's nothing left. You just make twice as much work for yourself by dividing the edge in half and putting wear steel on both sides that you have to flip when one side wears down.

    Interesting with the back plows, I would love to try one.
    Every plow has it's pro's and con's, the best advice I have is find a dealer near you that is well stocked and open during storms and buy the brand they sell just make sure it's a commercial grade plow.
    Because if something goes wrong in the middle of a storm and you can't fix it then you can get it fixed.

    I plowed in Canada for many years and we had the Blizzard plows with the wings on 1 ton short bed trucks. We had tailgate sanders on the rear of the flatbeds and that setup worked really well. They are a really nice easy to use blade. Joy stick controls with 2 buttons to extend the wings. Never had problems with those blades.

    Good Video, I used a couple different expanding back blades using a clutch pump system for the hydraulics one was called a geerlings and the other was B&B, both expanded 16 feet. The big thing on the back blades is the weight on 3/4 ton truck. I could say so much more, I love using the back blades, they make your plowing so much more efficient.

    FINALLY!!!! I Am sooo pumped you made this video Stan! Very well done comparison between the brands. I am glad you decide to take a further look at the Fisher plows! I still think you need to at least get one for a demo. As I was trying to tell you last year, even though they are made by the same company as Western, the Fisher plows are much more robust in comparison to the Western. I mean you take one drive through Massachusetts and the rest of New England, during winter time, and all you see on plow trucks are Fisher plows primarily. My father and I both run Fisher's; he has run them his whole life, I am on my first Fisher (that is on my 2013 F250). My first plow was a Snowdogg 6'8 for my Explorer Sport Trac, that I had at the time (such a great driveway/small commercial setup, made me lots of $$$.) The Snowdogg was a nice plow but I always had problems with the plow plugs building up with moisture, snow, ice..ect which would build up a layer of electrolysis on the plug pins, I also had a similar problem with the relay block for the plow getting moisture inside; such a pain in the rear but other than that the plow was a great plow. Now that I am rockin a Fisher plow on my F250, I won't use any other brand. I love my Fisher, I'm just in need of some snow as it seems winter has yet to Southern Massachusetts yet :( I would like it if Fisher would come out with a LED light upgrade like Boss did, those LED lights are awesome and I'm quite jealous that Boss has them!

      @@stxtwmxify I would never buy anything else again. Like they were saying stainless can still rust and costs more. Common misconception is the poly weighs less, when actually it weighs more. It weighs more because it needs extra support because the poly isn't as rigid as the steel is. The true benefit to the poly is it doesnt rust on the blade and the snow will roll off it better and not stick as much as steel. Downfall is its heavier and can fade in color if you let your plows sit out in the sun year round.

    Moved to Maine 28 years ago and have run Fisher plows the whole time. I only plow my home and a few friends and family, but I also make do with old used, beat up equipment and it still always works, The first plow I used was probably 20 or 25 years old when I got it in 1990 8ft dual control with a pump that ran off the engine, not electric and I could stack snow about eight feet high with that plow. Service was incredible. Fisher faxed me the entire installation manual which was so old they didn't have them anymore and they were not on line in 1990. Incredible plows and service.

  • @Eduardo52831

    Fishers all day 100%. Their cross beams on the stainless steal plows are extremely sturdy, practically built like tanks. Cutting edges last forever and if you have a v-plow they will stack higher then any other plow. As you can tell I really like fishers and would recommend them to anyone. Just make sure you have a good dealer, and if your in New England like me that’s not a problem

    But I think Fisher uses the same grade cheap steel cutting edges as Western. Basically the same components, same controller, but with the added X bracing. ( you can get the dash mount joystick control for Fisher , maybe you would like that better).
    Oh and we are bummed because our local distributor would not sell us any of the Winter Equipment cutting edges as they said they had fitment issues with the bends?

    Have you ever looked at like a 6 or 7000 series John Deere tractor with a loader and box blade for pushing snow a few people around me in North Dakota that's all they run for commercial and residential units for the smaller storms they put a 16 foot box blade on the back and just have snow bucket on the front and for the 20in pounder snow storms they will put a 10-foot Pusher on the front and a snow blower on the back it seems like a really versatile system me being a farmer I can say I would much rather spend 20 to 30 hours in a tractor than a pickup a lot more legroom and definitely a smoother and more comfortable ride especially if you get an active seat

    The Boss drag pro may put more weight outback but on a 1 ton truck it doesn’t matter as much, and still allows you to have the spreader for salt and sand on the same truck.

    1. Not for your average joe. Plowing in reverse, guys hit stuff plowing forward, I can only image. Its hard enough finding somebody you can trust running a straight blade in a truck. 2. No protection from hitting stuff , man hole covers, curbs etc. No trip edge or anything. Going 15 in reverse and hitting a manhole cover .Lets see that in a video. You say down pressure on it but it scrapes worse than a front blade with no down pressure. No discussion on full or trip edge plows. Seems like u missed that all together. The v plows on your trucks are scrapping all the time pulling in uneven driveways. That cant be good for the asphalt in HOA.? Uneven where on cutting edge corners as well. No talk of expandable plows . U missed that one too.
