Schultz, why dont you just hit the "v-plow design" button that all you injuneers think us cad jockeys have on the keyboard. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif just jokin

In my research of plows, I noticed this C-plow shown in the link C-plow , anyone seen one like this? It's pretty neat.
Also I've got two designs going one with a trip blade and the other where the whole plow pivots to prevent as Charlie said from "being pole vaulted" over the frozen obstacles. Which is better?

I've seen the C plow at a local plow dealer. They said it is for back dragging away from garage doors, etc... Didn't see it in operation.

Although the C Plow looks slick, I doubt it really adds much to the PT plow with rubber strip. The key to back dragging away from doorways, etc. is visibility, and we PT types have that better than any other snow moving vehicle I've seen.. I have found that I can drop the blade within one inch of a doorway, and back drag as cleanly as if I were pushing. The rubber isn't at precisely the same angle, but does a good job.
Despite the claim on the website, I don't see the C Plow as a substitute for a loader. For moving deep snow or piles, the loader's the answer.
The rougher the area underneath, the more the need for blade trip. My area is pretty smooth, so I seldom pole vault with the rubber lip. I think I'd like the springs on Hans's reclaimed "cheap" plow, however.
