I have a question for those folks with newer Diamond plows - maybe Geoff. I have only ever had Fishers, and am finding a few differences in structural integrity. I would like to know if the following items are normal, or if I need to get the unit checked out. I put an 8' Diamond on a '00 F-350 SRW truck (because I didn't want to wait for a Fisher, and I'm willing to check new stuff out). <p>1. Headgear seems sloppy - normal? The front of the pump assembly is sort of wet, and it moves way more than the Fisher setup.<p>2. Chain Hooks are weak, and one weld broke already. I had to weld it back together. Is this a defect, and should I beef it up now rather than have it fail on the road?<p>Unfortunately due to knee surgery I only get to sit at the computer and run the loader when customers come in for sand/salt. I have to watch the trucks leave the yard (I miss plowing, that is why I am writing so much). <br><p>----------<br>Phil Grande - Soundview Landscape Supply - http://members.aol.com/slsnursery<br>Ivy League Landscaping - http://members.aol.com/scagrider
