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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
