[BC Handyman]

I'd love to put a wideout on the ford but I got to wait & pay down some debt. Anyway here is a short video on the first day plowing this year, for all you guys that are still waiting to plow. We had 3 plowable snows sofar, but it all melted over the last few days, but it is snowing right now. Enjoy

Here is a few pics, of 1 of my accounts. I didnt think to take a pic untill after I did the first pass. As you can see in the after pic, When I finished It started to snow again

[BC Handyman]

Here is a few before & after pics of a driveway I actually remembered to take pics of. There was around 12" & of course the hill was ice coved under the snow.

[BC Handyman]

Here is a few more pics from the same driveway.

Well we got alot of snow this march, got out a bunch of times. Here is a few pics of my Dodge pushing snow..

[BC Handyman]

Well hello guys & gals, I thought I'd share a pic of my new trailer. It should be great in the snow for loading & unloading the Bobcat. It has 2 7000lb torsion axles.

you arent going to like that dovetail during the winter time, thats a guarentee, when we got our first skidder trailer we bought a tilt deck and thought it was the cats meow in the summer, but during the winter we would have to hit the trailer in 2speed to get up the trailer just a thought

[BC Handyman]

Hello all, as winter is approching I saw a snowex 325 spreader for sale on Facebook (thru a local buy & sell page/group) I looked at & tested it, determined it is in very good shape & bought it. I'm sure it will come in handy at some point during this coming winter & pay for it's self. My ice fighting arsenal is growing

[BC Handyman]

As winter is creeping in around here I thought I would invest in a new set of winter tires for my ford, still no blade for it, but I am activly searching

What kind of plow are you looking for?

Anything that is 8' newer if not brand new, and will fit my 4800lb front axle rating, So only choices I think I got is a hiniker or blizzard, every other 8' plow is to heavy unless I spend even more to beef up the front end.

[BC Handyman]

Well I got a new plow for my Ford! It's a 8' Hiniker straight blade. I also got a new strobe for the roof, but it's not installed yet. I think it will do great, a big upgrade, but

Very nice! Even though almost any 8' plow would have fit, I don't know of one plow that fit your criteria that wouldn't fit. Look at the GMT800 GM 2500HDs, they have 4800lb front ends, or even something lower, and they still plow fine

Thanks I think it's nice too, I know most plows could go on it but to keep my warranty in tack I had to stay under 700lbs(including mount) or beef up front end which would cost me even more. Ford would put a heavier plow on but if stuff broke from the weight I would not be covered, and of course they would blame everything on the plow if stuff broke. So I figured screw it & get a 700lb plow & a 8' Hiniker was the plow I chose.

On another note, here is a pic of my mini bar. It is a low profile, shield,code 3 with 10x3 led lights. I hope to have it installed next week.

[BC Handyman]

I thought I should post a pic of the ford with plow on & with snow in pic, so here it is

I'll post more pics in the storm forum

[snowremoval4les]

Looks good! Great upgrade to the ford!

[BC Handyman]

Thanks! Here is a pic from yesterday's snowfall.

[2006Sierra1500]

Must plow a lot better than the Dodge...although the F250 is longer...

[BC Handyman]

Very true, both parts. it's crazy how much of a different feel it is plowing in the ford. Extra length & width is VERY noticable along with the turning radius, but I'm getting used to it.
