Off topic anyone have any experience with Hinkler snow plows

So I found a Hinkler plow for my 88 250. Not sure on the model yet. It looks to be in pretty good shape anyone have any experience with them?

No experience with Hinkler, I run Westerns & Fisher.
Judging from their website, assuming it's a steel conventional plow, it's 12ga, which is just under 1/8", which is on the thin side... What's the application? If you're just plowing your driveway, it's probably fine. If you're plowing commercially, it might be a little light...

if it is cheap enough to pay for itself before breaking, or in one season, it may be worth it. but i just go with name brand.
and i have all meyers plows. this spring i picked up a complete mounting carton, hoop, nightsaber lights with modules, E-60 pump, and a like new C-8.5 plow with new cutting edge for $600

last year i got the same setup with a beat plow for $300

Is it Hinkler or Hiniker? http://www.plowsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65 Here's a good snow plow forum for any plow specific questions you may have.

Never seen one, but I've had good results with plowsite.com for info on Meyer and Boss plows that I've owned/worked on. You'll even see a few of the same usernames as FTE!
