Snow plows
I'm thinking about picking up a plow for the F250. Anybody have some advice on what brands have the best feature-set and hold up the best, and where to buy (even though I'll probably look for something used)?

Were a Meyer dealer back here and run them on most our trucks. I love the old tube mount style meyers but I dont think you casn get them for your truck. The MDII which I think would be in your year range is nice too, my dad has one on his dodge.
we have a western v-plow as well but have never set it up on the truck, the meyers work fine.
I run a tube mount E-57 on my plow truck, My dad runs an MDII E-60 and we have another truck running an E-57H.

Ive personally never run a poly blade. I like the steel ones but thats only because thats what I use and it works. It will rust out after a long time and is heavier, but i like weight on the blade because it helps it scrape up ice and keeps it on the road instead of riding over top packed snow.

I think I'm all set now!
Will, from the specs I looked at, the poly moldboards seem to be just a bit HEAVIER than steel. I guess it's cause the poly boards have a whole lot more steel webbing behind them.
Now that I have this, it won't snow again for 5 years.

Nah, it's steel. Meyer C-8.5 with the classic mount. Aside from being in pristine condition, I'm extra tickled cause I was expecting to have to modify the vehicle mount or pick up some different brackets, but so far it seems to fit perfectly.willhf1011 wrote:really, thats very interesting. I guess my argument is null then. did you get a poly board?
Peter, grow some balls.

Now I just need to convince my neighbor who I share the driveway with that the gravel the plow pushes off to the side can be raked back onto the driveway in the spring when the snow melts.
