Hi Everyone,
I have a 1999 Ram 1500 (my dad's old truck we use for hauling, plowing etc). It has a Fisher plow on the front.
My friend's 2006 Dakota broke down and is sitting at the bottom of his 100' driveway. The garage is at the top and there's a slope in the driveway that means hand pushing it up isn't going to happen. The rollback that got him from breakdown place to house couldn't go up because the wheel carrier under the deck was bottoming out.
I was thinking of putting a tire or two between our noses and pushing him up with my truck but then another idea was to put the plow on ours and pad that and then push. Would anyone think that's a good idea? I know plows are meant to push heavy wet snow but the Dakota I'd think is in the 4,200 - 4,500# range and I worry about cracking the plow frame.
Thanks for any advice/warnings!
