I found this video because I was searching plow wings. I made a pair that works the same way for my ATV years ago and was just seeing if I had something unique. One thing for certain, it does not leave any snow behind. The goal !!!
The only thing I dont like id the cables draped across the whole thing,under certain conditions snow will stick so much you will pancake that flimsy tundra front suspention.
@jmac5058 we only use tundras now in our plow fleet now. dodges and chevys we breaking down too much. in addition, the 4 wheel drive on the toyotas is much better - all 4 wheels spin (not just front left and rear right) - we get stuck less and can push more snow. we put 7'6" boss V plows w wings and the suspension holds it just fine.
I think its a pretty neat idea...I don't understand why everyone has this all high and mighty I'm better at plowing and don't need this shit attitude...I for one do not plow...just wanted to see what the vid was about...and I'm sure if someone has a need for this product...it will do fine...hell most people can't get off the couch anymore...let alone design something useful and that won't break the first time out...it's made in america...not chinese bullshit we have anymore...bravo good sir
@SnowPatrol10 Not a problem...i just don't understand americas mentality anymore...instead of bashing someone for doing something innovative and being a critic...get off your ass and build something better if it burns your ass so bad...but...sadly...that doesn't happen anymore...
nice design from as novice tinkerer. i like the poly constructiion and the trip action is innovative, save a lot of nubs from bending the hell out of steel. wings. professional opinion, people that cant plow, use wings
Thanks for the comment. Wings do have their place, regardless of whether you're a newbie or a veteran plower. If you can plow more efficiently and save time you're in effect putting more money in your pocket. And in the end, isn't that the name of the game? If you look at some of my other videos you'll see them in action and see that they do increase efficiency. Thanks again.
That's funny... Anyone who's ever actually owned a snow plow company knows wings reduce time by roughly 50%. Practically every snow plow with a straight blade used commercially in northern states has wings. It's not an accident. It's $.
I'm not a fan of straight wings. Ours are adjustable and usually live at 45 degrees.
to be honest i dont understand the point. i go over speed bumps just fine, and when it comes to curb, sewer caps, ruts, or anything else i just slow down or lift my plow up a bit., like i said, i just dont understand the point of them...john q homeowner might by them, but guys like me who plow parking lots and driveways, they arent too practical... just tellin the truth.
Its about doing more in less time. Contain more snow, Carrying more snow to designated stacking areas, few back ups to clean up trail off, etc Are they for everyone: nope. And definitely not ideal for driveways. but for the right application they are invaluable. are they for everyone? nope, but for the right applications they are invaluable. Check out some of my other videos to see them put to work. Hopefully they'll help understanding them more. Thanks for commenting
@SnowPatrol10 i mean i could see how in the storage facility it would be nice, a v plow could do the same, as far as wind rowing, i could see how lifting up one while the other is down could help prevent a wind row from peeling off the other side of your plow. i wish you all the best. i think its gonna be a tough sell for you. how much do you get for them anyhow?
Thanks for the well wishes! A number of them were sold over the winter. Most locally and several on Ebay. Very good feedback and zero returns. All in all not to bad for a new product with little exposure. I anticipate a spike in sale next winter, we'll see. Again thanks!
Thanks! for wind rowing the wings can be held in a retracted position. Just lift the wing up until the stop/lock is behind the plow it will rest on the back of the plow preventing the wing from lowering. You can also remove the wings in under 1 minute.
Thanks for the comment. The final product does not have the small piece at the front of the wing, but even so, I've never had any of the parts freeze up or lock up. Very few moving parts really. Again thanks!
@daisytest the white panels were/are prototypes. The final product is in black. Its easy to criticize not knowing anything about the product. The wings are made of UHMW. Incredibly strong, impact resistant, and resilient; not your typical "plastic". See some of my other videos to see them at work. Also not intended to replace the wideout, but rather convert a conventional plow into a box plow. Happy plowing!
LOL, they do look bad but these were the prototypes. The new design are much cleaner looking and are in black. You can see them on find them on Ebay or on some of my other videos. Thanks for the feed back though.
I had a 2008 Tundra and was told no snow plows also. Although I see alot of them running this year with plows...I do not believe their suspension is set up for plowing very well...these trucks are pullers. I'd hook chains any day with a Ford. 5.7 's pump out 381 HP...most in its class period.
"The weight of that plow will tear that lil pickup up." It is a little heavier than recommended. I had to install a 2" lift/leveling kit on the front end (after video was taken). But it handles it fine and pushes snow really well. I've run a Tacoma (shown in one of my other videos) with a heavier then recommended plow since 01' and its really amazing.
Glad everything is working out for ya. I want that plow. haha What does that plow go for new? I thought I read somewhere that it was about $6500 or I may be thinking about a different model.
Thanks! The plow is an 8' Western Pro Plow and it set me back about $4,700 installed. The box wings I designed, manufactured and installed. The cost for that I'm afraid to add up! lol.
Thanks!, Not sure stainless steel will work. Much heavier and less forgiving when it comes to impacts and such. The nice thing about the material I'm using is that it has a high impact resistance, it has some give/flex to it and will return back original shape, and its really light weight.
@MrPissfairy Also, that is an 8' Western Pro Plow on a Tundra. THats nothing because with a leveling kit I've seen 8 foot X-Blades on the tundra.

Never head an issue with snow sticking to any part of the plow or attachment. Suspension actually holds up very well.
