I had a 7 and 1/2 foot straight blade from the early 2000’s on my 2005 GMC 1500. I really liked the Minute Mount 2 setup cause I’m in a wheelchair and I could hook up the plow myself very easily. I had 10 good years with it and it was still working when I sold the truck. The only issue I had was a couple of solenoids going on it.
Yep..Agreed! I've had one of my 9-6 XV2 since 2012 (can't believe it's been that long). However I don't think I'll move up to the 10-6.. I plow with the extensions on both of XV2's & it works perfectly, for the parking lots I mostly do.. Great video!
You ever consider the LED intensifire lights. I have the 9'6" and love it. Those lights are a game changer. Expensive but I thought worth the money in a snowstorm.
It sure does help a lot with the frame twist on the plow. I can plow a sidewalk with two tires on the sidewalk and two tires off the sidewalk and the plow will sit perfectly on the sidewalk.
Cool videos but you really don't have much experience with plows...they all do that...if they didn't have give they would break quickly...tons of force beating on those points
That's exactly why they made it pivot like that. I've welded together several of the style that are not designed to pivot. Yes, there is some slop in the pins and they will move some but it's not enough.

Love seeing the plows in action!

Those extensions are great for parking lots. I like how they angle forward a little bit to hold the snow.
Western snow plow have that pivoting frame system which they had first but then Fisher and Western are owned by the same parent company.
I really like that feature.

No, I don't feel the need.
Thanks for the vid. Didn’t know about the pivoting!

@@NEILSWORLD nice 👍
Can you do a video on running a military truck vs regular truck
Great idea. I'll work on that.
Very clever kit…… no need for tire chains?
I always carry tire chains with me in both plow trucks.

Which one would you put on a new f550? Fisher dealer is telling me the 10.5 is too much weight and will kill the front end?
I would definitely do the 10 and a half
