hello,<p>Just a quick question on something I was curious about. <p>We bought a 99 chevy 350 dump with 6.5 turbo diesel and at first, went with the fisher 9 ft. MC. <p>When we got the truck back from the plow shop, we got real nervous. The plow was a monster, and the truck looked like it was about ready to tip head over heals when we raised it. <p>When we ordered the plow, the installer said himself that the plow was pushing our trucks limits, but that it would be able to handle it. He said that if we were to do a lot of road driving, from site to site with it raised, it would definitely cause a problem sooner or later. Since we only plow our airfield and complex road/lots ,the plow is basically dropped 95% of the time, so we thought it would work. As soon as we got the truck back and saw it, we shook our heads and took it right back.<p>We now have the 9 ft. HD, which made us much happier. The MC almost made the truck look like a dual use plow truck/milling machine.<p>My question is were we right in trading it back in? Having used the truck to plow the airfield, we kind of wish we had that heavier plow now. This one, especially when the snow get slushy, likes to skate across at higher speeds, which we have to maintain in order to keep formation with larger trucks in front and behind it.<p>Any comments greatly appreciated, as it is a subject that has been bothering me for sometime now. <p>steveair<p>PS - just for the record, I wanted a new ford 350 instead but our mechanics a chevy man along with the rest of our small trucks, so I kept my mouth shut. The ford looks like it could of handled it. <p>
