This is my just completed snow rig; 78" Meyer I got for $50 on eB*y 5 years ago and finally got around to media blasting, painting and using some ideas from TBN to mount in the bucket; finished it yesterday; first 8" wet snow today; worked well; if I'm happy with it, I'll add power angle pistons and a remote next year.
Nice, Jam, do you put chains on in the winter?
I have never needed it before - even when we got hit 2 years ago with 44 inches in one fall - I am however concern that pushing a 6 foot blade forward is going to be a lot tougher than reverse with a 5 foot.
From what I have read as long as I elevate the front blade just enough to have most of the weight on the front wheels I should be fine. Going to do the trial and error thing first - especially after I priced chains - Yikes!
