A LCF (aka, Low Cab Forward) is a chassis cab used mostly for delivery applications. I would have never though of using it for plowing purposes.

Here is a link...

I would think that as long as you had some weight in the rear, it would plow ok. IMO, it's a little overkill to consider the LCF for this use.

If you're doing a LOT of plowing (as a business) I think you're be better off going the other direction with a F650 or (don't flame me) getting something like an International 4 series with a DT466. DoAll spreaders fit on a short bed frame type vehicle.

OTOH, if you're going into the towing business and looking for something to mount a rollback the LCF would be perfect.
