Snoway plow on 80 series

[sleeoffroad]

Found a new use for a 80 today Finally got rid of the pos Suburban that we used to have for a plow and set up a plow that any Cruiser shop will be proud off

What took you so long?

Asked myself the same question. However should have used a 100 series. They have heated seats and mirrors

I bet you could run that thing 24-7 if you advertised!!!

That thing kills your approach angle!

Just cause it snows, you get it done?

Looks good, and no matter what anyone says.. snoways are great!

Do you have the down pressure hooked up?

 

[sleeoffroad]

Had it done for some time. First noticeable snow for the season. Wonder if it will work in Moab

Sweet! Maybe you could at least put some real tires on that thing? I'm sure you have some laying around. First real snow of the year is always fun. I had to pull my neighbor's daughter out earlier. She came flying down the street and slid about 20 feet into her dad's yard! Buried her Ford Focus up to the hood! Sorry, no pics. I didn't even charge her???

Pffft.

Stock Michelins, running boards and a friggin' roof rack.



I bet it's got a rear wind deflector too........

How about sending some of that snow my way.

 

[dgangle]

yea, I bet those tires do a wonderful job... what brand plow is that? Are those mounts part of a 'kit' or ?

Believe it or not, I actually do not have a set of tires for it. If only I could get 18" wheels for it, then I am all set. I was surprised that the Michelins actually did the job.

Plow is Snoway plow. We made the brackets that go to the frame. The rest is part of a kit that used to fit a F150 truck. Snoway used to make a bracket kit for the 80 but it is discontinued. Imagine that.

Similar to this model.

It may just be the angle of the picture, but it looks like that plow sticks out a long ways from the front of the vehicle.

Yes it does, more so that other plows. The beauty of it is that when you take it off, all the hydraulics etc etc stays on the plow. Only the bracket stays on the truck.

Snoway was the first Snoway also has a few other innovations. Like hydro down pressure. The way the snoway mounts its hydros gets more weight on the cutting edge. Better scraping. Snoways also tend to weigh less than the others, but use more engineered steel.

Meyer still has 8 mounts left at the factory for a direct fitment, but they are the easy mount classic (old hitch pin style)

Snoway was the first...but use more engineered steel.

I plowed snow commercially for two decades B4 moving South and never heard of them B4 this thread. Granted the downpressure seems like a good feature, depending on how effective it really is.

I deal with metalurgy in my day-job but I have never heard that term. WTF is "more engineered steel" ??
