My newest toy...

[LiftedAWDAstro]

Lynne and I went and picked up my newest toy. New in 2004 it was $4700+. We got it for $1400! It's a Fisher EZ-V 8.5' V-plow and is in awesome shape. Plowing snow will be a blast this coming winter!

I'll be waiting to see the mods.......you know like 'flaps and wings' and I'm not talkin' about a plane either
Nice score Dean oh,.......
How do you get power to the back of the van for an larger(8000lb) winch without running welding cable or the like?

[LiftedAWDAstro]

Thanks Jim.

The only way is to either run very large cable or install a second battery and run some smaller wires to the alternator.

The other option is to a mid-mount winch and run the cable to both ends with a setup that allows you to lock either end and pull the other. You only need to use up about 20' of the cable.

What is that used for ???
I don't think I've seen anything like that around here.

Wow - that looks big! And the fancy work lights - WAY cool ... Dean I think this coming year with snow you should mount a video cam and get a clip up

That looks like something that fell off a snow plow. The state of NY may want that back.

That's pretty cool. Pretty simple in design too.

Thankfully I'll never need one, but looks like you will get lotsa use out of it!

Hey Dean, why didn't you get the big one?

[LiftedAWDAstro]

I didn't get the "big one" because he only had 2 of these little ones!

Nice score. Decent plow too. My buddy works for a snow removal company and they run those exact plows on their trucks.

handy for moving traffic out of the way during the summer months too...

Hehehehehehe That's a great idea!
