>>>I wouldnt go any bigger than 7' on a little truck,if you ever get in a heavy wet storm with an 8 or 7 1/2' you wont even be able to push.With real wet snow my S10 feels OK with a 6 1/2.I wouldnt want any bigger for wet snow over 4".<<<
Well, last April we got 14 of snowball material, wet, packy stuff. The S pushed that 8' blade just fine. I've had a lot of people tell me I can't do anything with that combination. Lucky for me I'm too dumb to understand why.
We've got three trucks, two of them S-10sm one a K2500. At times we've had the 8' blades on all of them. Three different drivers too, and none of us can see any practical difference in pushing power. Granted, the heavy truck will generate more power to the ground, but I'm talking practical conditions, once you're pushing a full blade waht more do you need?
