Bear55 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm in the market for a new or used snow plow. I have never owned or bought one before so I am looking for any helpful suggestions or advice on what I should be looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordie Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you go new Hiniker plow all the way. they are awsome! I used to sell them and they are the cats meow as plows go. just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigging Joe Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I have to agree with elwood, I have a hiniker and love it. I've had for 9 years with no problems. I would call around and ask what fits your 1/2 ton, I know when I bought mine, I dont know if a plow would fit on my 1/2 ton chevy because they are so low, I put a v-plow on a new chev. 3/4 ton back then and I know a v-plow was way too heavy for a my 2001 chev. 1/2 ton.A straight blade might work on a 1/2 ton but I would call and make sure. Hiniker makes a great product especially the drive-in forks, makes hook-up real easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 we had a 8 ft c-plow on a 91 blazer but it had a 2 inch over spring kit in it but I think that with out the spring kit it would of been fine. and the hook up is faster than anything out there.

dougger222 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Know a lot of guys who swear by Western snow plows. Bought a used 8.5 Pro plow with back drag for $1,700 7 years ago and it's worked fine for me. At the time it was only 2 years old so figure it was a fair price. I made $20 with it so far!!! Of course haven't had to pay for snow plowing since and my in laws like it a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter54 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Check with some of the Chevrolet / GM dealers let them know what you are looking for. When a truck with a plow is traded in they will usually remove it before selling the truck. I purchased one in perfect condition minus some of the wiring $400 plus $40 for wires and switches. Still have it and working great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
