Buy a new truck with a plow package and what do manufacturers equip them with? Automatics.Extreme clutch slippage and linkage/hydraulic clutch wear would occur when plowing regularly.Also,an automatic trans torque converter multiplies torque by 2:1 on take off.So,with a 3.50 1st gear X 3.23 rear X 2 (for the torque converter),you have nearly twice the torque as a manual with a granny 1st.That is the kind of kick you need for getting a heavy load rolling.Yes,automatics slip and waste energy (a good one shouldnt slip too badly though),but the advantages they have in moving stuff is amazing.Tractors went hydro,and Payloaders did too.There's got to be a reason why.And yes,I have driven manual transmissions since 1980.I have never burnt a clutch,even a used one.But I dont tow with one either.
