Gary,
Nice plow. I wonder how many on here have a snow plow for the front of their truck(camper).
Are those chains on there or do my eyes deceive me?
At one time I thought of a plow for our property, but there is no elevation to the lane (no borrow pits) and the trees are adjacent leaving no where to push the snow. For us the only solution is to blow; over or through the trees.
It's nice to be back on topic. However, there is a lot to learn when we veer off-track for a short time. Just not all the time. I am certainly guilty as anyone.
It reminds me of another off-topic saying,
"Always tell the truth; but don't always be telling the truth."
regards, as always, jefe
Thanks Jefe!
Actually that was right before the maiden voyage of the Avion two Thanksgivings ago. I got caught with the Avion on the back of the truck, before getting the studded skinnies swapped over, and then the wind and snow came, so I drove up to the plow, 5 minutes later i was plowing with the camper on, and the 35x12.5x16.6 BFG A/T's.... I can tell you that even with the weight of the camper, I could easily break loose the rear end.
No chains, just an optical illusion with the dry powdery snow on the deep lugs and side biters of the BFG A/T's.
For drives like yours, I just angle the plow to the right or left, and it "blows" the snow right out of the way lickety split. As long as there isn't too big of a berm on the side. Two passes and a long driveway is usually done.
Good Luck! And I love your trip reports off-road. I have not got that crazy yet, but would like to get further off the toad than I have, I just need to do lockers before I do that...
