Great set-up When I use to live in the mountains I had a clod with a plow. It was great to scoop off my decks from the comfort of my couch


I found you a driver

Thats great MR.Glassman, love the picture of barney, I think that was one of my favorite episodes.
Thanks for the comments everyone, but sorry no video(don't have a video cam) if I can get my hands on one it will be the first thing I do

Dude that is freaking AWSOME. I was looking at doing something like that with this but the cost is up there. but MAN does it have some power behind it.

Looks good, but I would try a different set of tires. The chains are a great touch.

The motor is a 45 turn novak and a rooster crawler esc, as for cost it was very cheap to make the plow had all the stuff in the scrap pile.
The blade was a water cup dispenser off the side of a in home water cooler, I made one cut length wise then cut it again to 12" wide, the bottom cutting edge is a peice of snowmobile recoil spring straitend,drilled,and riveted to the bottom. the arms that connect it to the truck are the original lower suspension arms, as are the mounts on the axle. The servo is the only thing that was actually money out of my pocket.

Also I have a video cam now so I will be taking video of it this year too
