You have them ? You like them ? Are they worth the $500 ?

I want to go wider.

I got em. Very easy to put on and off. I use a 8' superduty stright plow. When the wings are on, total width is around 10'. With the full moldboard height, you can collect a lot of snow and lift some pretty big piles. I've recouped the cost 10 times over with the efficiency though. I would never do a parking lot again without them. I have on occassion, when being lazy, used them on residential drives. They make quick work of a driveway. Two backdrags and a push to the corner and your on the way. The design is far superior to the pro wings. There are a few cons though. They do add some serious extra weight to the front end (i hope that doesn't come to haunt me in a few years with damage to the driveline) Also, You can forget about getting air into the grill when cruising. Taking them on and off is easy, but lifting them into the back of the truck and back out is...well...a PITA. I'll take some pictures of the complete set up and post them soon. I got them through General Welding here in Rochester.

I don't need pics bud. I have seen them around.
I'll be 11' wide with them on omg. I will also have to trim the rubber to fit around my curb guard edges. I'm not worried about air either, I have noway of getting it anyway.
Maybe i'll just wait and grab that 40" Samsung my wife was looking at.

I have 2 sets on 9'2" poly power Vee's. They work great. You will wonder how you ever plowed without them.

I can't believe they don't make for my 10'V:D 12' would be nice

I am working on two sets for two of my ten footers. I have a local welding shop make them using my existing ones to copy off of. They just need to make them higher.

Our local dealer stopped in today to show us a new power XT. It was a 9'2" but it had the height on the ends of a 10'. So maybe Boss will start making the wings to fit the XT and the 10'.
