I operate a wholesale food business from my home in Northern NJ. I have to leave very early in the morning and have a 300’ driveway. I had a contractor plow for me and one 30” snow storm he didn’t show, it seems his trans went. After three days stranded my wife and I shoveled out. The whole time I said “I’m buying a plow” and I did. I had a 96 F350 at the time. I have been had 3 Western plows since then. They are great and I just sold my 2003 Chevrolet 2500HD with a 6 year old Unimount Pro plow. I’m going to retire in 2/3 years and bought a Fifth Wheel RV and new F350. The Chevy rusted brake lines almost killed me, so for revenge, I bought a Ford. I’m in the market for a new plow. I like the Western plows but not the price. Seems a lot of money for something I only use 5 or 10 times a year to plow my driveway. I won’t ever depend on hiring someone again. Can anyone recommend a cheaper reliable alternative that can handle an occasional 24” storm? Thanks.
1) why would sell your plow truck if you need that for business I.e. making sure you deliver your wholesale food?
2) Isn’t rust a factor in any vehicle’s life in the Northeast?
3) 3 Western plows in 25 years that only plow 5-10 times per year?
4) going to retire in 2/3 years with a new F350 and Fifth Wheeler? But sold the old plow truck because of rusty brake lines?
5) let three western plows rust away in 25 years?
6) Hasn’t had a 30 inch storm since at least 1994?
7) Says it is critical for work yet doesn’t want to pay for new plow?
While, this guy isn’t me... I do have to question his logic.
But I know the answer to his problems— Walter NCUS with a power angle plow on Truckpapper.... truck and plow $9,999.00 what a bargain.
Besides that your answers were just blowing off the new member And their 100% legitimate questions ,concerns and problems.
Your response leads me to believe you have little or no experience in life .

Congratulations on your retirement know that we’re getting a little bit older ,,, in the winter twe may sit around little bit more instead of being active.
You can get a really nice walk behind snowblower with a little cab.
they make some of these are like 40-60+ inches wide.
it may only take you two passes maybe three, four pass .

You got out of the house.
took a little walk.
got some fresh air.
Since this guy had a 6 year old Unimount on a Chevy 2500HD ‘03 truck—I cannot figure out why he didn’t keep the Western plow from that truck and now just purchase a new unimount and wire harness for his new F350? If this plow is so important to him doesn’t that make sense?
