Re: Anyone here push snow?
I've ran/ worked on many Westerns, and one older Meyer. Alot of different versions of each brand thru the years. The old Meyer a friend had in a 4spd truck. It had 2 toggle switches that could be mounted anywhere. Most of the joystick Westerns I was around were controlled by cables, and you could mount the joystick anywhere the cables would reach. One guy had a Western V-plow, it would really break thru big nasty drifts, or cut thru piles & ruts that were solid.
I don't personally like a manual trans with a snowplow, it's a real workout to get small areas done quickly. And if you catch a curb or something, it can tear up the plow, truck or you in a hurry. Auto trans Blazers or shortboxes were my favorite.
