Is the ram powered by a hydraulic pump?

Haha, well, even some pictures of how you mounted it could help! I have a pretty good idea of how I'd do it, but I always like to see how others have done it and compare it to my idea so I can make the best educated decision. Either way though, that deuce looks good with the plow on it!

Did you make a build thread on that?

Right on. I've seen some of your other posts so I know you got the tools and the skills to fab some stuff up. That plow would definitely clear a car lane! If I was to do one myself, the v blade made more sense to me as well, but I would use a small winch with a wireless controller inside the cab...

I'm sure with enough looking you'll find one. If you do, I'd like to see how you mount it up. I've only seen one or two ways guys have mounted a plow and both was on a deuce, not a five ton. There was a fella selling a fleet of five tons in the classified that had plows and such but for what he...

Does any of the local municipalities auction any of their old plows? Mounting it shouldn't be too bad but it be finding the hydraulic to fit on the truck or go the cheap and hard route of using a winch and moving the blade by hand to which side the snow is pushed. From a few YT vids I've seen...

With everything, there's pros and cons. The best option will always vary upon individual, vehicle, and task.

So that more less acts like a manual with a torque converter. Would that be why I've seen some videos where guys stall the A3 out at low speeds or trying to climb a hill? I never realized that tranny would let you lock a gear in like that.

That's interesting to know. I have never been in,rode in, or driven an A3. I'd like to own an A3, but I like my multi-fuels so that's why I have yet to purchase one, but I'm hoping some day, I will.

That's the one thing I appreciate about the manual trans, down shifting and letting the engine and trans slow the truck down instead of using brakes. That even worked on m old deuce with NDT tires, it didn't slip or go into a slide but the second I touched the brakes, I was on ice skates.

NDT's are horrible in the winter. My old deuce had the NDT's and living in MI, we get a fair share of snow. Almost felt like driving with ice skates on. With my current deuce, the Michelin 395's are absolute beasts in the snow. Last winter I had no issues at all, barely any sliding at all. Even...
