Details: Aftermarket Controller MSC09601 Boss Handheld V Plow Control MSC04544

Brand: Generic

This is an Aftermarket Control, but we feel that this is nicer to use than the factory Boss V Plow control. This has 1-button functions. On the Boss factory controls MSC09601 or MSC04544, you have to get a finger across more that one key to do any functions. However, this control will do all functions with only 2 buttons. These are very well built. It has the Boss plug built into it – not an adapter like the cheaper controls. These will plug in place of the old style controls, too. This control has some features that the OEM Boss control does not have like double touch up and down. If you double touch down it goes into float and a double tap up will raise the plow.

Buyer Guide Snow Plows

 If you’re buying snow plows, this guide will provide you with some handy tips.

• The Plow. When buying a snow plow, bear in mind that the plow’s width should be equal to or wider than the plow’s length.
• Plow Blades. The plow blades should move easily and should spread the snow over a larger area.
• Adjustability. You need a snow plow that can be adjusted easily.

How to choose Snow Plows

 When buying snow plows, it’s important to weigh different factors and choose the one that best fits your needs.

• What is the weight of your snow? The bigger the snow, the bigger the snow plow you will need. You should invest in a plow that is designed to handle a heavier amount of snow.
• What is the shape of the plow? Some plows, such as V-shaped plows, are better at clearing snow from hills.
• What is the length of your plow? The longer the plow, the more snow it will be able to clear at a time.
• Does it have an angled blade? Angled plow blades are better at pushing snow back down the hill.
• Can you adjust the blade? A plow with an adjustable angle and position will allow you to adjust the blade angle depending on your needs.
• Does the plow have an adjustable blade? Adjusting the angle of the blade is especially important in rural areas, as there may be uneven terrain.
• Does it have skid plates? Skid plates protect the blade from damage.
• Can you choose between hydraulic and electric? Hydraulic lift brakes are easier to use, but electric lift brakes are more cost-effective.
• Can you choose between forward and reverse? With forward, the plow clears the snow in front of the blade. With reverse, the plow clears the snow behind the blade.
