Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 1/2 ton pickup mounted snowplows?

^^^this^^^

I've had a early 90s 1/2 ton Dodge 4x4 beater as a dedicated plow rig for the last 15 years servicing 6 properties with long driveways, maybe close to a mile in total.

Gotta long term tenant that plows for me for a rent reduction.

She's dialed in with that plow rig, she works within its means.

If a couple feet is predicted she don't wait til the last flake falls, 10 or 12 inches on the ground and She's pushing snow.

Mechanical maintenance has been minimal over the years with her operating that rig.

Blows my mind when I see a plow bolted onto a 50/60 thousand dollar new truck that combos as a guys daily driver..

60mph down the road hitting rough breaks and bouncing the plow hard, it ain't no wonder they bust stuff up.

I seen guys out there late in season slamming solid ice berms trying to push them back cause they didn't know where to put the snow early in the winter when they first started plowing..they'd torture the toughest piece of equipment they could get with their antics.

If I'd had a beater 1 ton to dedicate to plowing snow I'd probably of used it, but I had a 1/2 ton at the time I could semi retire for the job so we deal with it and it gets the job done.
