Luke (DeWitt) Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Its a friends truck, he left for vacation yesterday and asked me to plow. Sure enough the first day he leaves we get 8+inches of snow. Oh yeah, I never plowed with a truck before this morning.... ;D Nothing is broke yet and everyone has there lawns in tact, for now... It sure is a great truck, handles great in the snow and has a diesel engine so there's plenty of power. I am looking to upgrade this spring to a one ton pick up like that one but 47,000 USD is hard to justify when I can buy one used with 20,000 miles on it for about $15,000 less.

Deere-est Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Cool, what are you looking at Luke? I always liked the F150 we used in 03 on the harvest run. 5.4 V8 I think. It topped out at only 100mph or there abouts but Christ did it ever get there quick! Would love one over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke (DeWitt) Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I am looking at a F-350 or a 3500HD chevy/gmc with low mileage so I can put a plow on it. At the minimum ill go with an F-250 or 2500HD so it can handle a v plow. I love the cabs on the Ford super duty's plus the truck i'v been using rides extremely well for being such a big truck and having a plow on it.

Tommy Gough Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Not much driving to be done at home over the half term so I've been on vehicle washing the past two days. Yesterday was the TM and today was the L200. Not sure what tomorrows plans are but one of our cows is having an operation so no noisy pressure washing for sure.

CMB Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 To-ing and fro-ing cement in another 3 tonne Terex. I was told it was going to be a smaller, 1 tonne machine because the terrain was so narrow and treacherous, but had to make do. Starter bendix cog was getting stuck so when it was finally running courtesy of a shunt from the digger, we had to leave the thing idling all day just in case! Oh well, I didn't die, that's the main plus from today (as well as getting paid of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Congratulations Ben and Julie As for what I've been up to today, I've spent all day in bed suffering from a raging temperature, aching body and nasty cough, it seems my workmate has shared his virus with me this week. Very unlike me to need to lay in bed all day, would be nice to just escape getting these viruses for one whole year but I guess thats the problem of having a weak chest and low immune system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
