Yesterday while moving some deep snow in my field to start working dogs I forgot I had a 8ft log laying out there for doing nono drills with the dogs. Completely broke my A frame mount on the plow, done some checking and just the A frame was going to cost me almost $700 because Blizzard Plows sold out and they will no longer be making new parts. Checked market place and there was a plow in Duluth minus the pump for $720..
So 2 1/2 hour drive 1 way to get plow this morning, got home and wrestled around on the frozen ground in single digit temps because my garage is full, torched a couple big bolts off, done some swearing, but finally back up and running. So thats how my fun day went!

Aww, crap. That sucks. What about finding someone with a welder to re-build the bad A-frame and then selling it to recoup a goodly % of the cost?

My neighbor is the local fabricator, he is building me a new A frame. Going to watch for a used pump on market place. Sell both and get a new V plow. Really hard busting open new roads on the wind packed lakes with a straight blade. Used plows up here are spendy, anywhere from $1800-$4500. |
