With winter hopefully being over in Chicago I figure it would be a good time to shop for a new snow plow for my new truck. Now I am a plow virgin and have never had one on any of my trucks so I need a little insight on which would be the best bang for my buck.
I've driven many plow trucks before buy now that I'm shopping for myself I'm being a little picky. I'm currently looking into a Boss straight blade with all of the fixings. The truck cam from the factory with the plow harness so that eliminates one expense but I need help with knowing what else I should purchase.
The only issue I am looking at right now is weight. The subdivision that I live in has a 5 ton weight limit and with the truck weighing in at 9500 and having my tools and other stuff in it I'm already at the limit. I'm not to concerned but I would like one that isn't a steel blade.
Any help some more experienced plowers could give would be greatly appreciated. Which brand, style, and accessories?
