During the twenty plus years i plowed commercial what i learned about snow plows was Westerns cut what you set the pads to cut as back then i had a lot of gravel lots drives and lanes and on the old western plow i would set it for about and inch and a half above the surface as back then PEOPLE could drive on a couple inches of snow and never once did i ever roll gravel with the Western plow . Then i got this hair brain idea in my head i wanted a NEW truck and put my 73 up for sale . Not knowing that it would sell so fast as i don't think the ink was dry on the paper the phone was burning up with calls and i told each and everyone the same thing first one here with CIF in hand owns it lock stock and barrel and maybe it was and hour later a guy and his wife showed up walked around the truck looked under the hood sat in it started it up shut it off walked back and looked at the plow and five more people showed up when Jennel reached in his pocket and pulled out a wad and handed it to me and said SOLD as these other people were walking towards us . One guy got a little huffy about this and i told him i said FIRST ONE WITH CASH OWNS IT . Only thing i had to do was drive the truck down to his place on my tags and he brought me home . Then i was in a panic for a plow truck And i bought a 78 Ford F250 Snow Patrol pkg with a Myers plow , What a piece of junk plow . It had the fancy ski shoes and i don't care what you did or how many washers you stacked on them to raise the cutting edge the min it saw a gravel lot it would bit in and start shoving gravel , i added a third trip spring thinking that would help redid the mountings for the skids so they fit tighter added in two double acting hd shocks and all it did was shove gravel and constant problems with the electric lift unit . So IMHO if ya have gravel / stone / slag drives /Lots best truck mounted plow is a Western . Now i can say how the new commers are Like Boss , Fisher, and any of the others out there as i have not tried them.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
