First I would like to say nice board, I enjoyed reading some of the postings, and they helped me with many of my questions.
This will be my first time plowing I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad cab 4x4 I know a 2500 would have been better for plowing too late to change it now so I will have to deal with it. I have done some research on plows and found that Snow-Way really is the only mfg that makes a plow suited for my truck, the quad cab adds a lot of weight to the front axle. I am looking at the Snow-Way # 2590 with the Lexon board the 2590 is the commercial grade plow and it comes with the down force unit. Do you have any input on the Snow-Way is it a quality plow? Will it hold up as well as Meyer, Western, Fisher and Boss? I like the lexon board for a few reasons. The obvious being painting and rust, I just hope it will take the same abuse as a steel board. I plan on being very cautious at first…. with a $ 30,000 truck and $ 3,000 for the plow I don’t want to break anything before I made a little money with it. I want to do some residential driveways and some small lots I will probably try contacting someone that will sub-contract me on some small jobs guess I could start with some landscaping companies, I haven’t seen any ads looking for drivers with plows… Oh by the way I am in Elgin, IL If anyone needs me to help them out
My next question is about SIMA how do I sighn up? And where do I get some more info on it.
Thank you Dave
