Snowplows on K20's
The seasons are changing up here in Minnesota. I picked up a fixer upper (rusty) snow plow for a couple hundred bucks. Its a Diamond, by Meyer from the 90's. It is very large and heavy duty. Weight of total unit or (most of it) is 900lbs and its 9ft wide. Seems a little too heavy for a K20 but what do you guys think? Maybe I should put on my 01 2500 HD? I just don't have experience with plows on trucks. I have always used tractors with 3pt blades. This would only be for my private driveway or I'd store at my brothers and let him use on his private drive at shop. Would not be for commercial use and you can bet that it won't see salt again.
Also, looking at the frame on the front, there isn't much room for spreading out the load by having good sized mounts. Anyone have a pic of their setup where it attaches to the truck frame?
