Hello, I am looking to install a decent plow for my driveway and some possible commerical accounts. What do you recommend?

96 F350 4x4

Do I need to do any mods like and extra leaf spring up front?

 

I love my Blizzard 810.


It can move a mountain of snow in a big hurry. It is heavy though. the 810 weighs 900 pounds and 100 for the hitch.

You also can't go wrong with a Boss v-plow.
If I had the choice and the 810 wasn't an option, between a Boss V or a Blizzard straight blade I would go with the Boss. The 810 over the boss V but the scoop of both a 810 and V is unbeatable. Though the 810 can move more snow than the V plow could.

 

For plowing parking lots I would have to say the best invesion ever was the power v-blade, personally I love my Fisher Easy-V but im sure the other ones are of similar quailty. One thing that i would recommend is to make sure that the plow has a trip edge and that the mol-board doesnt trip. The problem with the whole board tripping is that you lose the majority of the snow that you are pushing. And in a parking lot there are always man hole covers popping up throughout the year. But I would recommend a power v-blade.

Oh and also i wouldnt go with a striaght blade if you are doing lots by the inch becuase you end up spending to much time chasing wind rows, this is where the v-blade comes into action becuase you can use the reverse V feature to "scoop" up the snow

 

Thanks for the info, I'm leaning towards the Boss. $4000.00 installed.
