Ok serious question here... I figured with the amount of snow you have up there that an 11' plow would be alot of stress on the truck/plow and become un-plowable after a certain depth.Do you find you have to take the wings off quite a bit or plow most storms with them on?

To me this would make more sense in a more southern state where storms are often small and light to push.

Plow with the storm. Wider plow means they can keep up more efficiently

If the snow is light and fluffy, it weighs nothing its all about width then.. It is harder on the truck, but what snowplow isnt?

I see it too.

Unless I did the install myself I'd be unhappy with the installer and taking it back for a redo.

A plow that wide should win you some state maint contracts.

Take a better look at the wing reinforcement straps. Notice they're on upside down? They don't support the wing edges very well like that.

What do you have to say about this? Or the fact that there is no Red retaining clip on one side of the plow release?

damn! the wings your 100% correct. the reinforcement's were put on upside down. i did not do the install but it should not have left the shop like that what so ever.

the right side has not had a clip, although i did see one in a new shipment this week had one. i dont know if boss has updated and added one? i'll look into that.

My Boss only has the red clip on the driver's side, I believe that is how they come. I have never had any problems.
