Anyone running one?

Damn it! I thought you were going to review it. I'd like to know as well.

 

Not really, just the moldboard. And it is bent quite a bit already. The cutting edge is folding under, just like the the first DD Blizzards.

Good ole DD, making crappier plows so they can fit on more trucks. Just noticed it today, can't wait to look at the other one we have.

 

I want one but would never buy first year it came out I like to wait 3 years

 

Double post.

 

Mark you gunna put up pics?

 

I'll try tomorrow, not sure if it will really show up that well.

 

You just have a straight blade or the 810?

 

8611LP

2 of mine were very old, took a couple hard hits and folded bad due to rust and age. As rusty as they were, I didn't think it was worth trying to rebuild. Maybe I was wrong.

The only thing I could get was a SnowEx moldboard, wings, cylinders.

 

One from the backside of the moldboard showing the edge tipped forward.

The others are from the front showing the gap between the main moldboard and the wings.

The bend is uniform across the width of the moldboard, not as a result from a hit on one side or another.

I would hope that for $3k they could make something that lasts longer than a below average season, but I know, profits above satisfaction of the customer is what really matters.

 

Have you been in contact with DD Mark?

 

Just noticed it yesterday, stopped by the dealer today. They want it back Monday for the area rep to look at.

I'm going to get the other one back this weekend and take a look at it.

It wouldn't show up on a picture, but basically the bolts are being pulled through the moldboard.

 

Mark whats with the big dent on the edge/corner right by your arrow?
and what is up just above that, flaking paint? It looks all bent up from what ever was hit with that corner.

backing up, turning and clipped something?

That's what happens when you catch a curb or manhole\grate\pothole\whatever with the wing extended. Both wing edges are bent like that, so is my 8611 LP that had a new moldboard last year. But, my main edge is not folding under.

That is the reason I prefer urethane edges on the wings vs steel. But, being a good Hollander, I like to wear down the edges that come on the plow before switching over.

 

Thoes must be some tall grates and manhole covers you have in your are
And to bend that tab....

but if you say so.......

It's not dammage form hitting somthing with the edge.


If you say so.

 

Oh grasshopper who has never used an expandable plow..........

The cutting edge is worn because if you angle it forward and run curblines or sidewalks it will wear on the back adege.

And yes, that tab will bend back if you hit something hard enough with steel edges. :waving:

Me's thinks he was on the Facebook, the Myspace, the Google or the Yelp and took oot a fire hydrant......

 

You still can't snatch the pebbels from my hand ole wooden foot.


I'm not talking aboot the edge.
Now, go back and read and look look at the pic I posted , this time put on your reading glasses .

You could have run in to a 12" curb, stop dead and not do the dammage I circled.


Ps your littel wing plow running down a curb is no diffrent than any other plow.
They all can rub on the back side.
But that corner still doesn't add up. Nor Does the bent tab.



Could you go place it by a curb so we could visualize it....

Guess we'll agree to disagree. The plow isn't here to measure, but you can most certainly do the circled damage by hitting a curb.

 

Wow. How many hrs on it? I hope they will do something for you!!!

They probably won't because he hit something backing up. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

50? I wouldn't think more than that based on this year. And he doesn't have a full route because he's my mechanic and runs a salt truck after running through his route.

 

Good luck fellow wooden head!! Lol... I was gonna switch to 8611s next year?? Maybe not

 

Thanks, I have a pretty good dealer, even if he is Frisian. Mr Heyink is acquainted with him. I don't doubt he'll get DD to do something, if they won't without any encouragement.

No luck, they stopped producing 8611's.

Standard 8611's are built very strong.

Guess I'll be running mine until I can't get parts or rebuild them anymore.

You're wrong.

I don't have any curbs close by.

Bite me.

OK, those they do. I thought you were referring to the standard 8611.

Carry on.
