If you dont' want to go that big you can go with a 810 instead. it will cover your rear wheels just as easy. If you want to make you plow even better go see Jerre in Erie, PA. He does a bunch of mods that will improve your plow even more. I have bought 3 from him. well worth the 7hour trip. If you want to really check out some info on it I am on Welcome To Let's Talk Snow.com - Home Of The Snowplowing-Contractors.com / LetsTalkSnow.com Discussion Forums. Great site with guys and a ton of knowledge. |
If Western bought Blizzard, then can you still get a Blizzard? My Northman has the chain lift, and I really like that design. I watched the videos on the Western site for the Wideout plow, and they utilize the chain lift as well. That's a pretty impressive plow. I've been considering a v-plow as well, but I'm not sure I like it as well as a straight blade. Too many things to go wrong on it I think, and it looks like the Wideout can move more snow. I also like the way you can remove the lower mounts so you don't have the clearance problems with most plow mounts in the off season.
