Duramax ain't leaving my hands till the day it dies. And this duramax gets better gas milage then my grandma's 6.0 that's same exact body style.
Still not sure if I'm going to plow more then mine and 2 friends. But both their drives are big enough for a 10ft.
I HAVE 2 PLOWS. A 7.5FT AND 10ft
The 10ft is a experiment more then anything cause I traded it for stuff I didn't want. So that's no worry. And I do have parking lots that I might leave the plow at. Not sure yet
I understand it's just an experiment, just sharing some thoughts with you. It is likely much larger than the plow or vehicle manufacturer would want on the truck.
Here's a thought as well... If these are long farm driveways, a 10' does you no good as you have to come back down the other way anyway, right? I started out with a larger plow thinking it would save time, and found that with drifts, huge snows, etc... it was too much plow. My driveway is about 12' wide, about 600' from the road to the barn. A 7.5' plow does it in EXACTLY the same time as a 10' plow in regular snow, and less time for major snow/drifts as I'm not getting stuck, turned around, etc.
The parking areas may take a few seconds more, depending on what you all have.
