Curt, I have been bucked before on this. Your rig looks good . I would never put a plow on anything lower than a 5 ton! It puts so much pressure on a trucks frame. I would buy a dodge or a chevy to hook up and DRIVE IN TO THE GROUND but never a my Ford, JMO

I've plowed my driveway with a P-model Oshkosh with an 11 foot high discharge plow many times before and it wasn't too bad, actually I've used a WT-2206 oshkosh before to but that was a little bit of a challenge haha just a bit to big. But I still like plowing my driveway with either the bobcat w/snow blower or my fisher v-blade on my truck, but it can be done with a large truck.

Heck NO! Thats why I had kids! and for trash removal and yard work
I spose for small jobs it would be OK but as far as a commercial use, I wouldn't. JMO (Just MY Opinion)
