That redneck plow is sweet!! One mod that would be sweet for it though would be to make it angle. This way here you arent dragging so much at once and building up underneath your truck. Just a suggestion.
Just a comment on a lighter set-up, is it may want to float on the snow. May want to redneck rig some old weights on her that can be put on or removed. Other then that awesome job. Dont forget the patent on that invention.LOL

I'm looking at a new blade from TSC Countyline scraper blade 7' They run about $340 new.. so I was thinking about getting that and if it's not heavy enough I have a friend who has about 1,200 suitcase weights from his 1066 that he's not using... I'm sure I could get a good deal on a couple of them!
A nice as a camera would be... I just don't see spending that kind of money on one. Plus I was thinking that it would just get covered in snow and prolly be hard to see out of anyway

Yeah I sold it to a guy down the road from me.. a farmer type.. he was pretty quick to ****** it up... I was looking around on the net and new 8' blades are running $800- $1,200... I guess $400 was a steal!

I plowed a cemetary yesterday for a family friend.. they paid me $90 for about 45 min. of plowing.. talking about weird.. I had a rough idea where the drive was but it was a little weird plowing through a path between grave stones!
