Looking for a snow plow for a 3010 diesel.

Anyone out there have a plow system they like? I already have the winch, so I am going that route to raise and lower it. There are a few on Ebay but I don't know anything about them. Eagle Plow has a 60" system for $500, Snow Sport has one for $799, Moose plow $650. Let me know what you think, buying soon. Also should i go with the 72 instead of the 60? I was a little concerned that the 60 wouldn't be wide enough when set at an angle. Thanks

I have a Warn plow system with a 66 inch plow. I went with the Warn because it mounts and dismounts without crawling under the Mule. Just drive up, snap it on and away it goes.

Is it any good? I have no idea, and will not until it has survived six or seven winters. It seems a bit light to me, as the plow body itself is only 11 gauge steel. But, I also think everything should be built to last me a lifetime!

Before that I had an aluminum plow that did not even last a season before it bent and cracked, and was a real bear to get on and off under the front frame. After the last bend I got it off with a Sawsall! It was light and did not rust, but I would have been better off buying ten cases of cheap beer and tying the cans together and pushing with them! At least the beer would have been useful.

Before that I had one made by a farm equipment manufacturer in Iowa. It lasted 15 years and still looked like new when I sold it and the Mule. When I went to get a new one, they did not make them anymore. But, that is the history of quality, it is too expensive and everybody buys junk anymore.

I recommend you call the site sponsor, Beartooth, and chat with them. The critical elements are making sure your front suspension has the plow upgrade package, that the mounting system is not a man killer every time you either remove or install the plow, and the blade is heavy enough to not crack or bend every time it encounters something unexpected. You also do not want a mount that drags in the snow or you get stuck.

I no longer use the angle feature, and did not pay attention if the Warn system has that or not. I just push the snow straight out into a pile and pick it up with a bucket tractor, so the angle feature is not of benefit to me.
