Re: Anyone here push snow?
I ran a Western in a`71 K/20 4spd.I had the joystick mounted so I could lay my arm on my leg and only move my arm a little to shift.I had no problems with the manual.I mounted dual alternators & batteries because you`re usually lifting and angling the plow at idle.But,I can see an auto would be better for reasons explained.I never felt the truck was strained.But,after 20 hours of plowing I needed a clutch and a rear ring and pinion.The truck was fairly old,the clutch wasn`t.It never slipped and it was a top shelf kit.It`s best to have some give somewhere,like an auto does.
