Just as a Follow Up, I bought the Virnig SBV84. Bought it september 2015. Had no reason to use it in all of 2015-2016. This Winter was good though. Had small snows this winter and I either used the big tractor with this plow or my Cub Cadet Garden Tractor which works real well.
ANYWAY.... The Virnig plow is a 1200 lb beast. It will outlive me without a doubt. Grease fittings everywhere and super heavy. A very good fit for my 8000lb tractor. I think it would be best to look elsewhere if you have a 20-30HP Agriculture tractor as their lift capacity is not as much as the tractor I have.
Very happy with Virnig. Sales guy at LANO Agriculture could not have been more friendly and helpful.
Glad that it worked out! The usual route I use to get our Gator to our side porch from our driveway to restock firewood got cut off by a monster drift, so I decided to cut in an alternate route with the V-Plow. Too rocky there to use a blower, so just set the plow about 6 inches off the ground and slowly plowed the new route through about 2 1/2 to 3 feet of old snow. Chains on all 4 and diff lock. I was somewhat surprised I could make it. (I did have to back up and make a second push with higher speed a couple places, the MX just isn't that heavy.)
