Wink ML truck in action: snow plowing, hauling, towing

Are you working hard to keep your truck running for pleasure or is your truck working for you?

Thanks Claudio,
I'm having fun with my ML. It is a great toy to play with in the snow!

Hi Brian,
I found 3 point hitch style 6 ft. wide tractor plow on creigslist for $50, cut off the hitch part and welded on my own 2"x2" lifting device powered with air cylinder to fit my hitch receiver. You can buy these plows for $2,000 to $3,000 with nice hydraulic controls. Side tilt/shift I have to do by hand but up/down control switch is next to my gear shifter and 11 gallon air tank will last about 40-50 lifting cycles. I got many pictures if you are interested in details. 6" lift with chain lock for upper position. Works excellent on my driveway!
Regards, Bernard
