Who plows snow with their four wheelers?
I plow a few driveways in the area trying to make some extra cash in the winter time and figured it was time to give my old homemade plow a break and build a newer better plow. I came up with the idea to build a V plow reusing my old mount and push tubes So I can swap my old plow back on at any time when this idea doesn’t work. All the benefits of a V plow are only benefits if it’s controlled from the seat though and still fits in the truck, think right now its right on 8′ so may have to do some trimming in spots. Thinking Linear actuators to control the wings. Here’s what I’ve got so far. For any of you wanting to build one I took a few closer pictures of the hinge mechanism because it’s the hard part and the part that there seems to be no pictures of anywhere. Also for those of you that think it’s going to be HEAVY, that’s a big no right now. Still got lots of bracing left to do and all the mounts for the actuators but right now it’s a fair bit lighter than my old plow, will probably end up about the same maybe a bit heavier.
