Here's my ideal highway plow truck. Nothing beats an old Walters Sno-Fighter for pushing snow, except a modern truck with all the toys.

I agree there Bryan. Id like an old Oshkosh. I saw one parked in a guys field today that just appeared since the weekend. V blade and all. I may have to run out in the guys field at the risk of being hunted and snap a pic.

Hey Yako,

You got my vote. I have been trying for months to find a old picture of my 1980 Scout 2 w/ a Fisher to scan in to the computer to post a pic of but so far no luck.

I've always been a big fan of the Unimog's - So many attachments, just think of the possibilities (if you have about 90K that is)

JCurtis

11-13-2003, 09:08 AM

or this one

GeoffD

11-13-2003, 09:17 AM

Or you can have this one for 107K. Note I am not a truck dealer, I have just recieved flyers from the dealers about these trucks.

The trucks may be cheap, but how much are the attachments to put on them?? I like em but seem like theyd be bad if they broke because who fixes em? Still really cool rigs though :cool:

Hey! Here is the CANDY STORE for us die-hard, drool in our sleep, think 24/7 plowing, plowers! snowplowcentral.com
I am seriously thinking about getting a 3 or 4 ton dump (1980s something) with wing plow for next season. I guess we will wait and see how this winter goes...:)

11-23-2003, 07:23 AM

LOL Pelican!! Great pictures everyone. I love heavy equipment, especially snowplow trucks. Who can actually afford to buy these things though? Especially a brand new one? Big bucks if you ask me. That tiny little picture LawnGodFather posted about half way down, a guy I know who owns a junkyard down in Orange had what looks to be the exact one parked behind the fence. I dont know if it ran or not, but it had a for sale sign on it. He was asking like $4500 or so for it. Im not sure if its even there still or not, but when I saw that picture, it reminded me of the one he has parked over there. Thanks for the pictures and please post more if you have them! Mike :)

I agree- who left the door open?!?!? I thought we could avoid some advertising, and the rude comments aren't appreciated either. We are all here to help one another, not put people down.

:soapbox Ok, I'm doen with that.

Nice pics guys!! Now I've got something to dream about tonight!!!

No offense is intended by this comment, but WalkingMan, Santo, Desil, etc.....

You are a jerk.

It's humorous to me that you are still sour about being chastised for breaking the rules, funny how that works, consequenses are a b!tch, aren't they?

Great pictures guys!

How about one of these? http://www.ahmct.ucdavis.edu/roadview/images/rv_01.jpg

Too many chiefs , not enough indians at the last site we hung at.

BRL

12-02-2003, 06:02 PM

Only 1 or 2 Chiefs there now. You should be much happier there now. 6,000 + indians over there & yet the "Chiefs" only ever had to deal with 3 or 4 Indians breaking rules. Only 400 or so Indians here, so you can't possibly want to put up with that ratio, after that last comment right? Amazing!

Pelican

12-02-2003, 06:47 PM

And the "Chiefs" here are the same ones he complained about "over there". What's "plain amazing" is that he would have any interest in participating in a site run by a bunch of "good 'ol boys" on their "power trips"!:beatsme :confused:

Hey santo maybe you should walk over to your desil and go make nine foot piles.

JohnnyU

12-02-2003, 08:11 PM

:haha :haha :haha

:headwall I couldn't remember if he was 9FP or not. I'm happy with this new site, and with the power-tripping good ole boys that run it. SInce you don't like them, go to another site, like ********, you would be happy there..

Oh wait, you got banned from there, again, perhaps you have another problem, and you are just using this as an excuse. I won't make any assumptions about you, but from what I can tell, you have very little in your life, perhaps you should take a vacation, see some sights, find a hobby, and GET A LIFE!

Mark Oomkes

12-03-2003, 07:38 AM

Oh, the memories.

I think that w 900 Kenworth would work great for driveways in the Tug Hill area where they get 40-50' of snow.

Or better yet, how about a 10' Frink on a Hummer?

:D :D :D :D :D :D

More Unimogs please..

The company I work for has 2 unimogs now. One with a 10.5' blade and the other with a blower. There's a guy up on the hillside here in Anchorage that's been trying to get out of the plow business and he has 12 of them for sale..

I'll try to get a couple of pics posted soon of the ones we have.. The one with a blade is an '82 and it's clean as a whistle.. It's been garaged most of it's life. My boss picked it up a couple years ago for $15K.. Not too bad a price really. We use it mainly with chains on a road that goes from 0-2500 feet in elevation in a very short distance.. Regular plow trucks won't make it at all..

GeoffD do you have any more pictures of those new internationals. The International Dealer in Worcster had a single axle truck painted orange like the truck you posted and a big two way plow. That thing looked really cool. If I start saving now by the time im 21 and can get my CDL I just might be able to buy MACK like the one JCurtis posted:D
