My dealers has both brands but says everyone in the area is wanting the hinikers, but from the reading i have done the western is the way to go. What do you all think is the better plow and why?
Depends on what you are using it for really. Wideouts or Power Plows in general are damned good though.mule585;1095823 said:i have 2 westerns and love them will never switch but it all depends on what you want straight or v personally i want a wideout i think v plows are over rated
The Quick hitch2 is new this yr on Hinikers comm plows. There is no more "notch" in the forks, and they are thicker. Also offer a flared moldboard to. The new plows will not interchange with last yrs plows. I looked at the new hitch system at my dealer the a week or so ago. I like it better than my old Hiniker. Ordered a 8.5 flared V for my new 1 ton dumpussmileyflagaddictedtolands;1312288 said:I guess I will ressurect this since the mega blade from snow way has been out for a year and the new design on the Hiniker V has haf some time now.
Me, still very happy with my Hinikers. One of the contractor I deal with gave me a song and dance that his Fisher X series V is power in and out. Any truth to that??
Last year, I did have the truck side (forks) break. My dealer had it welded back together fairly quickly, figured rather have them do it incase something happens. I was able to get to the scoop plow and kept going. Here is the ,mind blowing part of that. By thetime I got to the next parking lot, there was 8" in there, as most may recall we really got hammered in NY last season. Now, the v is 9'6 and the scoop 8', V is steel, scoop is poly. I did that parking lot with 8" in it 20 minutes fast than I could with my V.
I had a guy do that to my last fisher plow this previous winter. He showed up pushing the plow in front of the truck with it hardly attached to the truck anymore. I just sold the last MM1 for $400.Rossland&seal;945443 said:yes, the actual frame on the truck, we actually broke our second set 2 days ago, we are getting a set of forks custom fabricated this week
