This is NOT a Boss issue at all. This is your issue with ramps/truck/loading angle. These plows actually have good clearance for normal operations. I seriously don't understand why a negative review for something that is incredibly clear is not the problem.
Omg! I see what the problem is here! Don’t buy a Ford FX pick up truck if you plow with an ATV. I have an ATV with a plow and I was going to buy a Ford FX pick up truck to haul it around. Thanks for posting this. I would have wasted 10’s of thousands of dollars. Thanks for posting and keep up the good work.
Keep the videos coming. We have the same setup. But, I believe those of us using the plow for commercial use may not be transporting the quad in a truck during storms. We put it on locations with multiple sites close by. Or, put in an enclosed trailer and locate just before a storm. You are right. It's a money maker. Thanks for all the ideas.
That’s not a plow issue, that is operator error. You need longer ramps or, better yet, a trailer. 4x4 pickups are just too tall for easy loading of an ATV unless you have a loading ramp to back up to.
First of all you have a short bed truck. Second of all you should be putting your equipment on a trailer instead of a truck. Ive been plowing commercial and residential for 25+ years and what you are doing would never bee done. By a small landscape trailer that will work with your ATV unit. I haul ATV's in my truck but not with plows on them. Always use a trailer!
your only issue is unloading and loading. that's a terrible reason to say, dont a boss plow for your 4wheeler. why dont you buy a trailer? buy or build longer ramps? dont say "#1 reason to not buy a boss plow is loading and unloading". change your setup and make it work.
Other than the obvious issues NOT with the plow but with not having the correct trailering situation.....The camera angle made me feel 6 yrs old again with my Dad telling me how to do something.....so, thanks for that.
I'm just spitballing here... But in my eyes this is almost like trying to deter people from buying the plow simply because you can't load it in the back of a pickup truck. I'm sure boss wasn't planning on people putting it in the back of their pickup truck lol. You can literally go to any big box store like home Depot or fleet farm and buy a cheap 5x8 for right around $1,000 and it would make transporting your four-wheeler way easier and way safer.
Hello there , I am new to your channel . Just viewed your " ATV Snow Removal Setup and Transportation " video and enjoyed it very much ! Good job. I made some positive comments on it . I appreciate guys who : USE : AND NOT ABUSE : their expensive 4-Wheelers to make a living or supplement their income ! I am officially the Worlds Worst Driver , so I use a trailer with a fold-down ramp to move my equipment around between jobs . Thanks for all the good info. B&A.
Functions great for plowing, no complaints. Makes a lot of money, saves a lot of time, nothing but happy customers. Do I wish it had down pressure for back dragging? Yes. But it’s still a great plow.
I just bought a Boss straight blade plow for my Suzuki 500 ATV. The plow seems heavy so much so I am considering attaching a carrier with weight on the rear of my ATV. I will have to wait until winter to see how well it works. Right now it just seems front end heavy
Auto Pilot MT Did you have any problems with the rear tires traction providing forward movement while operating the heavy Boss plow? I’m thinking of using some kind of counterweight on the rear of ATV I guess I won’t know until I get to actually use it. I was just wondering what your thoughts are on a counterweight on the rear? Appreciate your post
I have been using the boss straight plow for 4 years commercially for walks and areas in parking lot where truck cannot get to easily. It took a 45 min walk job down to 10-15 min. My complaint with the v-plow is the weight. The straight is a poly plow so it's lighter. No issues. Only issue is we bent the mount while riding in summer from hitting a rock. Fabbing a brush guard to help prevent that.
Was hoping to pick up this plow. Contacted my closest dealer they're wanting 6600 CAD for it. that's about 5k USD. Bit disappointed with that after watching your videos I had my sights set on one haha.
Wow that is a steep price for one. I would ask around and see if someone could ship it to you for a better price. They jumped in price $1K+ USD since we originally bought ours when they first came out. Disappointing to see some dealers taking advantage of hard working customers.
@@AutoPilotMT Ya for sure caught me off guard with the price. I can't fault the dealer too much however. I imagine with exchange, import and freight it's not far off. But I'm disappointed as it's far out of reach for me and even if I did save for it I can't justify spending nearly that much.
First of all this a human error and this isn’t a boss problem. The truck is to high up and the plow does come off. Sooo I’d recommend getting a trailer to tow your quad and plow not the back of your truck
To save ur only complaint put ur plow in scoop mode all the way when coming off ur ramps it saves all ur problems when unloading it and also did u lift ur quad before u put the plow on to make sure it can be loaded
It’s something Boss can look at and try to improve on. Increasing the hydraulic lift would help increase stacking height along with being able to trailer it on more vehicles and help clear curbs and obstacles better. #1 reason everyone I chat with that doesn’t buy one besides price is being able to put it in the back of their trucks. Your right it’s not a Boss problem, but I believe their is always a way to improve upon a product and reach more consumers by listening to the consumers needs.
@@AutoPilotMT the issue isn't so much lack of height of the plow the issue is the soft suspension of your quad. Make sure your front springs are adjusted as tight as possible, if available a 1-2" lift in the front or heavier rated springs would help significantly.
Just looking at your video again and your problems may be solved if you took your tool box out of the bed. Boss is the best plow don't blame something else.
@@OnlyAura I figured that . That plow is like 4grand. I put a boss v on my truck. My wheeler has kfi straight blade, 500 bucks and works great. Granted it uses the winch and you need to manually angle it. I did my 800ft driveway with it all last winter . Its definitely not as nice but very functional
This is NOT a Boss issue at all. This is your issue with ramps/truck/loading angle. These plows actually have good clearance for normal operations. I seriously don't understand why a negative review for something that is incredibly clear is not the problem.
you should remove your video and buy longer ramps or a trailer. Boss is one of the top best plows on the market.
I agree that longer ramps would fix the dragging problem , it's not a blade problem but a ramp angle problem
Yes
It's the plow's fault that you didn't buy a trailer?
I was thinking the same thing 🤔
Omg! I see what the problem is here! Don’t buy a Ford FX pick up truck if you plow with an ATV. I have an ATV with a plow and I was going to buy a Ford FX pick up truck to haul it around.

Thanks for watching 👍
Considering you have a multi thousand dollar plow, why not spend $800 on a utility trailer to make your life easier?
Woah man, just lower the back of the truck by removing the 4x4 blocks, and longer ramps. The plow is not the problem

please do a lot of helmet cam in the winter and long videos
The front of the quad squats a lot it would help if it had stiffer front suspension
Love it! PLEASE make videos this winter!

Boss is the best
Who loads a four wheeler with a plow in the back of a Truck...? Get a flatbed truck or a trailer.
Lmao haha we do
Just drive it on the road cops won’t stop you in the winter with a plow
BlondeEProductions [NOZZ] true!!! I plow whole. Neighborhoods

Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍 appreciate all your feedback
Is loading. It on your truck the only compliant you have with the Boss plow?
How does the plow function for what it was made to do , snow plowing?
Functions great for plowing, no complaints. Makes a lot of money, saves a lot of time, nothing but happy customers. Do I wish it had down pressure for back dragging? Yes. But it’s still a great plow.

Cal Reed They are for sure Heavy in the front but the extra weight you’ll find out is nice to have at times.

Ummm I think that plow did great considering the crazy angle you loaded at.
I came here thinking something was wrong with the Boss plow. Not sure if it's a Boss Ford Polaris or operator issue but there is definitely an issue 🤔
Thanks for the vid was helpful. Got another question for you, I was wondering what kind of ramps u have
This is not a plow issue. It's your setup issue. Get a trailer if you're making money using this to plow.
500 dollar 5×8 trailer would work
Agreed. I’m just out of room to store equipment /trailers 😂
People normally don’t put there fourwheeler and plow in the back of there truck
Buy a trailer, Even without the plow on its not built to go in the back of a truck that way . Your crazy trying to load that way
What kind of Ramps are those and do you like them
RevArc ramps, they do the job. I wish they were longer but they do the job.
That is not boss problem
It’s something Boss can look at and try to improve on.

Why not blame the truck. Or the short ramps, or the weak atv suspension. What a joke. A 6x6 across the bottom would solve the angle genius.
How much dose that plow weight
Boss website says 245lbs not sure if that’s with or without hydraulic fluid weight included.
Great video!
wouldnt matter to me Id rather use a utility trailer than wreck my truck
Buy a Trailer.. or get a flat bed Truck...
Just looking at your video again and your problems may be solved if you took your tool box out of the bed. Boss is the best plow don't blame something else.
You should look into Madramps.com
Lol u have a tool box in lol.
Who care!
Should have just bought the plow for the truck
Its so that he is able to get like side walks and stuff also
@@OnlyAura I figured that . That plow is like 4grand. I put a boss v on my truck. My wheeler has kfi straight blade, 500 bucks and works great.

@@wickedmainah950 nice
It's your setup man
Use a trailer
