My first thought was it just had a deflector mounted on top. then after your post I took another look-agree-looks like the entire blade is thick plastic of some sort. Be interesting to see what is in back of it where it is attached to the cutting edge. And I agree with your comments on cutting edges. I've had three Deere compact loaders and cheap skate that I am have always used "junkyard" plows to replace my bucket. I just replaced a Meyers that had a poly cutting edge with a Fisher with a nice steel edge. What a difference Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55433-romania-is-plowing-snow-with-ford-trucks/page/2/#findComment-414573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS7 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Red Horse I think Ford should send a few F-250 4x4 pickups with real steel plows to Europe, there is a real market there.

Well as old as I am I remember when F-250's or Scouts or Early Broncos plowed only household driveways. Unreal what you see F-250/350 SRW doing today. But those pix that KSC posted of those Scanias are unreal. front plows, wings and belly scrapers. Did you also notice-roads were "white" No sand or salt. there was a guy up here that had a new huge MB Unimog with this unbelievable hydraulic plow system-which was made in Italy. I think the Europeans can probaly teach us a few things about snow removal. Haven't seen that Unimog lately-actually only saw it at a show one year. Anyone from Mass reading this, outfit was from Waltham-don't remember their name.

TS7 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Red Horse I did not see any thing special on the Scania trucks. The Europeans over do every thing. Do you know what KISS means?

Well look at the Schmidt video that KSC posted if you want to see "complex" And you were right on the Fords in Romania- they are plastic-look like some of the Schmidts in video Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55433-romania-is-plowing-snow-with-ford-trucks/page/2/#findComment-414687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm full of useless information, ask me about something important and all I'll have is a blank stare. Yeah they brought it to Hudson a few times. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55433-romania-is-plowing-snow-with-ford-trucks/page/2/#findComment-414697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
