Building a SNOW PLOW for my Truck. Is it Cheaper Than Buying One?

Hell yea 🇺🇸🦅 lots of fun to learn and work with ya!

I’m surprised you didn’t start heating it with a torch to get it more flexible honestly.

Now the next project is a Salt Spreader

great job but I would not have made it tilt right and left to be level with the ground as most of the time the truck will fallow the ground level and way and it is one more wear point etc. but awesome job and looks very nice .

is there any update on the goose neck trailer?

is that a 5.3 engine or?

Man I miss metal work so much.........

I’m curious to know if it would be more cost effective to make one or buy one? I drive a 2004 f-250 and feel like that would need a lot of materials.

Awesome vid. Looks like a lot of work but worth it

Wasn’t they’re someone else and how does that plow work for the jeep?

I dont know why no ones ever thiught of making gloves like those, but i guarantee whoever did is making more money than he or she knows what to do with, and likely uses some profanity finding out about any company making imitations. When i came up & in my reign all we had were heavy stick gloves u had to break in and primadona lambskin tig gloves u had to treat like jewelery because theyre easy to fuck up, and you had to have both

I wonder how much it would cost for you to build one for me

500$ in metal ..........20k$ in tools and school to know how to weld......yah...............................................smart move...........................................................

Make the mount to reconnect the bumper in the spring and summer

Great steel wool

I see you used the trailer you built to haul the steel

Why did you use a hydraulic cylinder and a chain? Why not use the hydraulic cylinder for down force to force the blade to cut?

I just started loving plowing in the snow. Thanks Waldo for this

oh man i am already loving it

Waldo, when are you going to get a plasma table?

What happened to your buddy introduced in the beginning? Anyway, getting all this brand spanking new steel painted? Let the roll top layer rust off outside before painting ( it wil come off anyway) tip for galvanized steel; you can't painting this unless using a good primer but way cheaper and quicker is paint the first layer with acrilic wall paint. Good luck on future projects.

Live in Minnesota, i think its not at a steep enough angle. You need to get the snow to go behind the plough if you can

A Jackall will create your curvature quite easily and another method is to dig yourself a plow hole pattern and drive onto your blank.

maybe a 45 gallon barrel ,,,set it down on 45 gallon barrel it would help ya bend plow blade better almost same shape

You forgot to put the shoes on 😂

what controller is that where did you order it from

That's a big project you took on but it sure looks neat ! 😇😇😇

Very inpresed We did snow plowing back in the 80's made good money but what a pane. Have fun.

Waldo's got a new toy 😂 , woof woof Aspen and Rhino

Do you plan on a line of metal scouring pads with all that magdrill swarf ? woof woof Aspen & Rhino

The sound from the plow was kinda tough on my ears in my headphones, but it was totally worth it when the engine sound came, gotta love that sound! 🤘

The snow blade itself is constructed incorrectly. I have plowed snow with tractors and wheel loaders for almost 50 years. Angle from plow to road, Is wrong. There should be a steeper angle there to the snow blade itself. Tells it like it is. ;) Down half up on the rubber below. Should you make a tooth all the way. Along the width of the reef. Is there ice on the road. Can you take down a tooth shear. That tears in the ice. Make it uneven.

Thanks!

You are fantastic! I love your work!

Is it time to buy a bench vice???

Before I watch this I think I’ll come up with a top 10 list of things I don’t expect to see. Let’s see….. # 1 Unicycle riding……

Right tool for the job sometimes the safe and smarter way. Spend the money, have a metal shop roll that sheetmetal for you.

After the strap gets to a certain point it's pulling in more than pulling up towards the frame, chains and 3 to floor jacks will bend it int place no problem

You need a float setting on the down valve where it allows the blade to.move freely up and down allowing consistent contact with ground

What thickness is the moldboard? I personally didn't hear it in the video if it was mentioned.

You don't need snow plows here in GA...Just sayin...

Did you make the Jeep mounts for the Vermont guy?

It's like riding HALF a bike

Where are you guys in VT?

Led bar has been awesome for a headlight. I use the truck lights separate for turns and brights. I kept losing lenses and breaking seals while pushing into piles. And bars are brighter and cheaper. Way more light and durability. Awesome plow. Doing it yourself adds endless value

When you make the stand for the plow make it a cradle with wheels on that you could roll the plow to the truck instead of driving the truck to the plow makes it a lot easier putting it on takes the guesswork out you could see what's happening
