Plowing snow this week

[DawGoneIt]

First day of plowing yesterday and already racked up a booboo. Chain length on passenger rear wheel caught the collar bolt on the air chamber spinning it plus 90 degree to the rear, snapping three air fittings. Learning curve again this year on excess chain length on tire chains. We haven't put the weight on the bed yet, hopefully next week. Snow hasn't been too much this year (for now). Plow has done a fantastic job so far otherwise. Photos taken in the Klickitat River canyon.

With Bed sides on won't weight of snow it holds..... be enough? Throw tarp over it so not to blow out and blind those behind you though.

Haha!!

We've been out plowing as well....Can you say F U N !!!! Over 30" of snow in last 2 weeks...a very white Christmas indeed.

These trucks are absolute snow plow monsters! We've been experimenting a lot with siped and studded tires as well.

If anyone's interested in FMTV plow mounts/kits we have them for sale here: https://fmtvtrucks.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/F01_Price-.pdf - they are designed to be seasonally removed in 15 minutes or less...pretty slick.

Nice plow! You look like you get a good 10' wide bite of snow!

 

[DawGoneIt]

that is a good idea. i can put bed sides on it and give that a whirl. Just need another blast of snow though

I gotta ad quotes....our plow is a Fisher 8' HD, made for the HWMMV. We added Snow Dogg 1' wings to each side taking the plow width to 10'.
