Well, it is 2022 now, after 15 years of use since I posted this tread if I re-posed pics the plow would all look the same. I have not had any issues at all. Using the right side power position on the loader valve is fine. Nothing broke, bent, cracked or popped. If I did it again I would not have cut down the blade width to 5', I would have gone with 6 to 7 foot. Make sure your front tires have extra clearance to the frame, I was close with the gussetts and when working the machine the tire would rub so I did trim the metal back a bit. Other than that this has been a good set up.
