I realized that I need something other than an srt4 as a daily driver and winter beater. My driveway takes too long to clear with a snow blower and I don’t even do half of it. So a snow plow should help cut down the time it takes to clear it and I could earn some extra cash as well. I can also get a full car trailer now instead of a tow dolly. So I pick this up Tuesday: 2009 F250 with a 5.4 gas engine that was bough new in September and traded in in December. So I saved 10K by buying it used instead of a new one. ![http://www.corteseauto.com/images/vehicles/EA047EE8-F4AD-F97F-33E2EA678A981DEE_x.jpg](http://www.corteseauto.com/images/vehicles/EA047EE8-F4AD-F97F-33E2EA678A981DEE_x.jpg) ---

:tup: to thinking it will save you time clearing a huge driveway. :tdown: to thinking you’re going to make much extra money off it plowing. Single truck part time plowing will probably cost you more in wear/tear than you’ll make plowing. ---

Single truck part time plowing will probably cost you more in wear/tear than you’ll make plowing. I am only looking to pick up maybe 5 to 10 driveways in my neighborhood. If something breaks then that’s what the warranty is for. ---

Make sure that plowing is covered. My dad just had to jump through hoops to get shit covered on his because they never marked down the plow package that came on the truck. ---

I got it from Cortese Ford in Rochester. > [@turbo ls1 ss](#): > > nice truck. if you need a snowplow… i know a place: [www.gormanent.com](http://www.gormanent.com) I need one but I think I may have to wait until next season. Do you work there or know someone who does? Do they deal in used equipment? ---

it’s my family’s business. i’m there everyday, but i don’t work in the truck department. we don’t really deal in used equipment, because 99% of the time it is worth nothing more than scrap metal. Plows are abused, buying a used one is risky
