The winter of 09-10 has been one of the best in my young lifetime. We had close to 72 inches for the winter and our avg is 28. The things i learned this winter will def help me as a move forward and look to have my own operation next winter. My truck was set-up for a winter like this, and it did not disappoint. I learned from this site how to properly set it up. From weight in the back....to having a good tires for plowing. I really think strobes and a amber light are a must. When its snowing 2-3 inches a hour it great that people can see the lights. My fisher def was up for the task and had no problems with it. Also no breakdowns with my truck. I always wanted a winter like this, and now that i sit here and think about it, it seems unreal. Running out of room for snow and relocating was something very new to me this winter, but now i feel like i mastered it. lol
I want to say many thanks to the great friends i gained from this site....first B&B for taking the time to help me with my over heating issue.....told me where to go for a new clutch fan....and pretty much walk me through the whole process...and saved me a few hundred dollars. After the new clutch fan...not one more problem the rest of the winter. Thanks mike for all the help.
