With all the talk about winter weather I was wondering how many members plowed their own drive ways and what they used.
I grew up plowing (my father has a plow business) using Fisher Plows. They were built well and took the abuse. When it came time to purchase a plow for my own truck I looked hard at the Fisher, but by this time they had plenty of competition. I ended up purchasing a Boss plow. It wasn't that I thought the Fisher was not made well because they are....it came down to features for the money. I was a little nervous about straying away from a product I knew well, but sometimes your pleasantly surprised. The Boss is every bit as much a plow as any Fisher I ever used and I haven't had a bit of problems with it since I've owned it ( six years). The only complaint I have is that the plow frame on the truck appears to hang down lower then the Fisher's. I don't go off road that much, so this hasn't been much of a problem. All said and done, I would recommend either of these two brands to anyone.
