Need to do some plow work?

This thing is really cool. I bet it’s an absolute beast to plow with.
You may not want to get too far from a gas station with an 1197ci engine.

Big boy plow truck

[jminer]

@kiltedpadre Wow that is a truck!

[Shop-Teacher]

@kiltedpadre My, that's a big one.

@kiltedpadre Finally, the snow plow that lets me clear the back forty that my stepfather insists must be cleared every winter even though it never happens.

@kiltedpadre Plow all winter and then drive it in parades in the spring and summer! Of course FaceSpace had to show me some big bois in my area. I think this could deal with my driveway.

@pos_camaro That’s basically a much nicer version of the plow truck I drove when I was part of a small town public works department. It was WAY too big for the town where I worked.

I had to back it down a residential street once because there were two street parked duallies, and the blade wouldn’t fit between them.

@kiltedpadre it seems those engines are more commonly used as industrial generators running on natural gas

Wonder how many days of driving it would take to get that to Dayton.

[Mark Tucker]

@nth256 Beat me to it.

[kiltedpadre]

@just-jeepin I think the deciding factor there is gas tank size. Can I pass a gas station on the way or am I going from one to the next?

[Chariotoflove]

@kiltedpadre It may actually be shit to plow with and maneuver around. Don’t care. I still love it.

I spotted this 6x6 beast a few weeks ago, and only wish it was local so I could go check it out. Ad says it runs and comes with a spare engine, only $3500.

And FWD stands for Four Wheel Drive, not front wheel drive. The company that built this truck pioneered 4wd trucks:
