Default snow plows

Im looking into getting a snow plow for our shop truck to do the parking lot of my building. We've been using a john deere ride on with the snow plow for the last 2 years and it works but its time to make it easier and more comfortable. Can you guys recommend one that is good? Not looking for heavy commercial and it would need to come off after every plow because its our delivery truck.

Talked to a guy about this and its only $2200 and comes with mounting brackets and wireless remote for lifting

Default Gravity is Hard

I used something similar on a non Ford Pickup for years. As it won't provide any downward pressure other than gravity, you can't use it to pull snow backwards. It does OK if you only want to go forwards. It also isn't recommended, nor did it work for trying to pile up snow. If you're in the metro Detroit area, I'd be willing to let mine go as I figured it wasn't going to work that well on a 2WD F-150, and it's so long it takes up nearly half of the driveway on it's own which makes it nearly pointless for most snow conditions.

There are many Fisher or Myers used plows around. They come off and go back on easily. Ford has the Snow Plow Option which 'disconnects a few high energy use options" but if you have a XLT or XL it doesn't disconnect much. If you are only doing one yard then the truck and plow will do fine. I've plowed for more years than I care to admit and this new Ford does a good job....put a couple hundred pounds in the box!!
