I've been a member here for a long time lurking and reading. I've got a 2006 X324 that I bought new and has served me very well the last decade. However, I'm about to upgrade. Reason being, the family and I are avid RVers and are upgrading from a SRW 350 to a DRW truck to pull our 44.5' 5th wheel toy hauler. So, it was either upgrade to a 9'6" plow for the incomming 2017 F450 or find a new way to clear our snow. I opted for the tractor upgrade. Going with the following:
X739
60" deck
54" blower
Hard Cab with heater
Upgraded alternator
3 Bag Power Flow collection
Remote spout control for blower
Front fenders
Quick disconnect for cab heat
Arm rests
So, a few questions.
1) My dealer says he doesn't like 4WS for snowblowing as your rear tires can turn into unblown snow. However, I see lots of guys do it without complaints. Is there an issue here or no worries?
2) I'm thinking of getting a second set of wheels and turf tires for summer mowing duties. I've read conflicting reports about the HDAP tires and turf. I guess I will wait and see if they tear it up before spending more $ but other's experiences are appreciated...
3) Am I missing any must have accessories in my build?
4) What's typically the best time of year for incentives? I'm in no hurry but love a good deal...
I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go, but that's where I'm at to start. Any thoughts or input will be appreciated.
