Plow works awesome!! The adjustable wings are amazing to go from 8ft-10ft-to 9ft in scoop mode. The only down fall is the weight of it at like 1280 pounds. But Last night/this morning I got to use it in foot deep snow and it rocks!!! Its a big *** pile of snow when I leave a pile

im a BOSS fan ....been pushing the pro Vee for 6 years now and ive bent some things but ive done things you shouldnt do to get it to that point. the RT-3 smart hitch is super easy to use and the plow just keeps working, i work for a Boss dealer and have installed to many to count...........if you havnt seen them yet BOSS came out with an RTV line this year, i put one on a Kubota, 6'6" pro VXT....its the coolest lil thing ive seen and the customer hardly starts his plow truck up anymore ...LOVES IT

Wide outs are awesome! One thing I recommend is do a set of timbrens on the front of the truck to help out in carrying all that weight. We did it one the blue pickup the same time we did the plow they were like 189 buck shipped and they replace the factory rubber bump stops.

I would love to use the western wideout but for the size lot i have, a 2 speed bobcat and v-plow are to easy to use.

I think the Wideout is the same thing as the Blizzard Power Plow. Really nice to have the ability to keep one at an angle for windrowing and still have the other straight. Plus it scoops a lot of snow. I had one on a Gehl 7810E skid steer and it was one of the slickest setups I've run. Plus it stacks the heck out of that snow.

For truck plows, BOSS is hard to beat, but the new Fisher Xtreme Vee is a pretty awesome setup. I almost bought a newer 05 truck with one on it just because I liked the plow setup so much.
