Put it on the other week. Rebuilt the pump, flushed the rams, Did some maint on the plow itself. Also the bronco is getting some preplowing work also. Did all the u joints, changed the trans fluid. I have some brake lines to change, i figure ill do them before I blow them plowing. Also did all the steering parts. Bronco was all over the road before. All good now! Just have to swap the winter wheels/tires on it. Picked up a used front bumper to use with the plow setup vs my new bumper, and a passenger fender to replace my dented fender from the garbage can last year, lol.

I cannot believe you hook a plow to such beautiful vehicles. It makes me want to cry.

I know, everyone is like, buy a beater. I cant drive a beater, everything has to be to my standard. And this was the beater lol

This is what happened
The 1st day

Never needed a plow on mine... but then it doesn't have any trouble getting through uncleared roadways either. I suppose its a fair way to earn some extra income but I have more fun pulling out stuck passer-by one at a time. (Read that as "I make more money... etc.")

Excuse my ignorance, but how does the whole plowing thing work? Are you a sub contractor through the local municipality?

 

[greystreak92]

Not usually, in fact in most municipalities its illegal to drop a "private" plow on city streets. But that doesn't mean there aren't hundreds of private parking lots and driveways that need clearing.

And THAT'S why Bertha will never be yours.

That truck would never see a plow, and in NJ you can get sub contracted to plow local roads

I live end of township road where it goes out on High way . I plow end all open or I get double the snow and they dont push it back .Usually have to plow the mile of paved road to get to my parents place early in morning . Good enough for people to get out anyway. And help out on heavy snows .
The township has 100 miles roads and 2 trucks In a 15 mile area . Good enough for light stuff most time .

My longest job is my uncles drive mile long and way wide drifts as deep as truck is tall .

The plow made me almost 20g last year so it doesnt bother me to beat the truck up. I do keep it nice still so its all good. Most of my plowing is my own accounts, and with my boss. He has lots of commercial sites to do. So i help him out, usually get the small and tight driveways due to the bronks awesome size and turning. Sucks for me lol
