So did you get the TSC plow?

You should put some marker and brake lights on that thing, too. Like 2 small L.E.D. markers on each end of the blade, then a L.E.D. brake light in the middle of the plow frame.

Also, you never said where you got the 3 point adapter from.

about the backup camera, it will get covered in snow (my dad's new truck has one, and is covered now)

and we use a rhino blade to plow snow with...8 foot and hitches to the cat III 3 point on the JD 4955

....i don't rely on the camera, its nice for when your hooking to a trailer though (its in the tailgate handle)...but the cool thing is, the display for it is in the big ol' nav/multimedia screen in the dash!!

Lights on the blade will only get broke and short out when pushing snow backward... I got the adapter from outsideshopper.com Talked with the owner of a Buffalo Wild Wings and might get a plow contract with them.. good sized lot but nothing too much.. we'll see if it comes through
