It comes from my 85 Mack RD685, that I call the "Snowdog" . Its name is on the hood. now that's a sharp looking unit . my wife is hooked on the tv show "highway through hell" on the weather channel. is the 491 highway really that bad with wrecks. do you remove all the plow gear in summer weather for use as road tractor? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69345-explain-your-handle/page/3/#findComment-491745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show you mean " Heavy rescue 401" based on the 400 series highways in southern Ontario. I actually don't like the show. I see those tow trucks around , and there not all scavengers waiting to go in for the kill. But some of them definitely are. I find it sickening heavy tows racing to an accident. Not because they care about the people in the accident , they want the big $$ tow. Short answer to" is the highway that bad for wrecks" . In any bad weather and due to the quality of truck drivers we have now , I try to avoid that highway as much as I possibly can . To be truthful ..... the 401 scares me , lol As for my snowplow. I used to use it year around and take the harness off in the summer. It doesn't have a 5 th wheel, but I used to pull a tag along trailer behind it. It used to have a dump box on it , but the years of salt rotted it out. So I removed the box and use big concrete blocks as ballast. I didn't need the dump anyway. My job was always to plow only , I never salted or sanded. 3 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69345-explain-your-handle/page/3/#findComment-491805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
