I watched this guy in his Chevrolet 3500 plow my townhomes private drive today. He was spinning tires, locking the brakes up, slamming it from reverse to drive, and bouncing that plow up the curbs. I guess they have to work fast to make there money, but man that's gotta be hard on a truck!

I know but it has to be hard on it ramming into curbs and shifting every 3 seconds.

They have to go fast to be able to push anything more than two inches. It most likely has a pretty twisted frame. But thats the way it goes, some people do have to beat pickups to do work.

He was spinning tires because more than likely, the truck is only 2wd. The only real damage to the truck is done when he pushes the snow into a pile, and the truck absorbs the shock. These trucks were built to work, and they are alot stronger than the half tons that you guys drive.

I've run 3 plow trucks; a F-450, 2500HD and a 3500. If you try pushing snow at a crawl, you won't move anything. That snow gets heavy, and if you're crawling across a lot or street, you're just glazing the surface. Hitting curbs is just carelessness. You should know where every curb and speedbump are before you drop the blade. Both of the Chevy's had over 150k miles on them, and they were in good shape, considering the abuse they went through on a daily basis. :head:

Yeah, anything 3/4 ton or bigger is much heavier duty than the half tons. However, I use a '89 suburban for plowing and it works good. But I am easy on the truck, I'm sure if someone else was driving there would be nothing left.

Also, on this topic....straight from '01 manual:

If your vehicle doesn’t have the snow plow prep
package, adding a plow can damage your vehicle,
and the repairs wouldn’t be covered by warranty.
Unless your vehicle was built to carry a snow
plow, don’t add one to your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the snow plow option called
RPO VYU (snow plow prep package), then the
payload your vehicle can carry will be reduced
when a snow plow is installed. Your vehicle can
be damaged if either the front or rear axle
ratings, or the GVW, are exceeded.
