I was put plowing today, nice and slow, enjoying the day and hit a concrete hard snowbank on the left side. Worked on it 2 hours, went out it bent again.
Anyone know where a used snow bear plow is for sale?:angry3::thinking-006:

Don't wanna rain on your parade but those cheap plows don't hold up. I got a snow-away v plow on my f250 and do comercial snow removal and have hit lots of stuff....never damaged my plow, ever. But I paid 8 k for mine.
I'll look around for you , I know lotsa guys in the bussiness.

Awesome, thanks. In the meantime, I am going to retrofit a grader blade on it. Hopefully it will get me through spring.

Pictures or it didn't happen!! :lol: ( joking )
What was the impact like when you hit? I've hit stuff under the snow with a blade or bucket before, and it doesn't matter how slow you're going, it can give the body a jarring jolt!

Real slow was trying to see if I could break loose a big pile like a hundred times before, but it was ice. No give at all..:sign0176:

instead of wrecking your plow..............you should have just curled those big mits you have into fists and just smashed it to pieces... what were you thinking?:fighting0030:

well, I was thinking that if I clean off some of the roads in town people could get around, and proved again that no deed goes unpunished. /:mad0030:\

You brought this upon yourself, Ken. Wishing for loads more snow while on your way to Hawaii earns you nothing short of bad Karma. No sympathy here. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Ah go climb a tree you nutchucker.
I am still wishing for snow, even more actually as I have to pay for another *&%%@ plow blade.

Like my new outfit?? I was going for the 'wow' factor.
Ok, here's a great chuck norris joke.
Chuck Norris is awesome, but even he cannot compete against 'The Ken's knuckles'.

Ken there's a reason why they're called snow plows, for breaking ice you need an ice breaker not a snow plow :D

Today maybe, I was a little, shall we say, 'warm'.
Just a little madder and I could have bent that bugger back bare handed. Of course while trying to straighten it out with a 30 ton hydraulic jack and chain, something slipped and everything went flying. That could have ended bad.
I had to shut down before I lost my cool, am going to try again tomorrow, and will do some strengthening on the plow.
Snow or not to snow, that is the question.
