Snow Plowing Tips?
Hey All,
The last time I "plowed" snow was as a teenager, briefly, with a small, Massey-Ferguson tractor with a front-end loader. I've never done it with a pickup.
I have a 1997 F-250 HDSC LB, with an 8' Western Pro-Plow. The truck has a ZF 5 speed and manual hubs. And it looks like tomorrow will be my first opportunity.
I'm just doing our own driveway(s) and various areas of the lawn, for the dog to run in. Unfortunately, the P.O. removed the "shoes" or skids (the two, round thingies on the bottom of the plow) because he said he can do a better job without them and he said that they were for "for beginners" or some such.
Except that I'm a beginner....
The driveway is a little broken, the lawn has some gravel in one area, and the driveway is fairly steep for one half of it--it's about 150' long.
Any tips/anecdotes/"Do's and Don't's" will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
BigSix1
