If you can get a good few winters out of it I say it is a good deal.

around these parts its in good shape, it is for off road plowing remember this area is where they use lots of salt. I bet it would pull the frame from under that crap truck JBMX928 drives and screw me 05 can simply lick my sack...

The plow setup itself is worth at least 1500.

paint the bumper, drop it, tint the windows, lose the plow and some 20's will look good

the plow is probably worth more than the truck lol...$1,000 is what your gonna pay for a good quality snowblower and hes gotta 1400 foor driveway..plow is the way to go. dont even have to register if its not gonna leave the property.

Congratulations - looks like a perfect and affordable solution for plowing a long drive.

Awesome deal Bucky.

I am also looking for a pos just like that to keep unplated on my property to look after the plowing.
They are getting harder and harder to find.
You won the plow lotto buddy.

I know you are the shy & sensative type, so if you are crying yourself to sleep at nights because everyone here is making fun of your new plow truck, I'll be happy to take it off your hands for $1200
