northman air operated snowplow

[javaxsqft]

I would rip that thing off in about two seconds.

The concept is good but the price? ANYONE can buy a used BEATER snow plow truck that works great for under $2000. Hell, I just bought a $400 truck off of craigslist that has a 7ft meyer plow that is 100 percent functional. The truck runs great too. Oh, no insurance needed as I am using this POS to plow my driveway.

Sure saves me the trouble of this $2500 plow.

This is a product of some idiot engineer... As usual it works on paper... I'll bet this thing took about 300 hours of this engineers life to build this piece of crap...

[bradlee101]

omg that compresser is killing me is it possablew to mount a larger air tank? or are you pretty much straped for space with a jeep?

[FCFordLord]

What about the possibility of frozen air lines?

[misterb1965]

there is a reservoir for airline antifreeze...you should add an ounce about every 4 or 5 hours of use.

id like to see what happens when that thing hits a curb, SNAP!

[misterb1965]

That top cylinder...which also controls attack angle...acts like trip springs on the larger hydraulic plows, and lets the moldboard trip forward...over the curb. Watch the video of this plow on a S-10 pickup for an example. It isn't designed for commercial plowing, but is very durable.

[keegancb]

what is the advantage to an adjustable attack angle?

[misterb1965]

attack angle helps in clearing packed show...or adjusts the blade to glide over rough terrain.

[misterb1965]

This thing is more durable than you realize. It's designed for someone who needs to do some light plowing (not commercial), but doesn't want to go to the expense of a heavy truck and plow. It's very storable, and can be used on small vehicles that otherwise couldn't push a plow.

watch the video of the S-10 pickup using this thing.

The only advantage I see to this is there's no need for hydraulic fluid, but other then that, its slow as hell and looks whimpy to me.

[schuylerwatson]

'why why do they do that' is right

[thegoldpro]

this plow is total garbage, lol

[hard420core]

you can go to home depot or walmart and buy a plow and all the hardware for less than 2000 and it'll work alot better and faster than this. It is a neat idea tho using air

[unforgivabl]

my 90 yeard old snoe blower could psh more than that

[evhwolfie]

you can find a good used western plow for 1500

[topdjcom]

not very usefull and very slow

[shauneshelman]

this plow is for a homeowner and the price is comparable to a snowblower around 2400.00 installed

[ctc1111]

What is the advantage of this plow being pneumatic as opposed to hydraulic?

[bobbyb1979]

is that a prototype? whats the cost?
