Diesel pickup trucks have no doubt gained in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. Diesel trucks have outstanding “work” characteristics, with loads of torque and relatively good fuel economy. They have a reputation for giving their owners a long life of powerful, durable and reliable operation. But when it comes to buying a diesel-powered pickup truck for plowing snow, there are a few things you need to know before a purchase. It’s really important to do your homework ahead of time to avoid purchasing a new truck which may not have the capacity to safely handle a snowplow.

SAFETY, QUALITY, PRODUCTIVITY...IT STARTS HERE.

If you were to ask someone in the snow & ice management industry about THE BOSS SNOWPLOW, you would probably hear something along the lines of “they build a tough line of v-plows” or “they are known for durable and reliable snow removal equipment.”  This brings up an interesting point of discussion.  How are businesses defined?  How is your business defined?  How do you want your business to be defined?

If you are a snow removal contractor that utilizes ATVs for snow removal operations, you

probably realize that there are a number of plow systems on the market for ATVs. These systems perform the operation of lifting, lowering and angling with three different systems: the manual system (all manpower done via levers or long handles), the winch system, and the hydraulic system.

Adam Linnemann, owner of Linnemann Lawn Care & Landscaping offers custom landscaping, design and installation along with snow and ice removal for clients in the Columbia, IL, area and still finds time to give back to his community through programs like Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for Troops. After almost 20 years in the lawn care and landscaping industry, Linnemann takes pride in the fact that the business he started when he was 14 years old now has over 20 employees and 600 regular customers. But that’s not the only measure of success for Linnemann: he says it is also incredibly satisfying to work with the SnowCare for Troops—a program that offers free ice and snow removal services for the families of deployed armed services members. Local snow removal professionals such as Linnemann volunteer their time and equipment, while the cost to manage the program is underwritten by THE BOSS Snowplow.

A Pre-Season Plow Inspection Will Make Sure It Is.

 The changing of the seasons is as evident by the leaves turning into a brilliant array of colors as it is by the fall to do list that each of us has before the first flakes of snow arrive. 

Whether the list includes cleaning the gutters, trimming up the landscaping or getting your snow plow ready for the upcoming season, each task has a purpose and necessity in preparation for old man winter.
