snow plow..

I have alway thought of this too. I understand the VX is not that large or powerfull for this however I have seen many small John Deeres plow snow.

wouldnt it be hard on the x-case too??? lots of weight on the front of the vehicle? wouldnt that cause the TOD to read the rear wheels as slipping a little and keep moving the power from front to back??

also, i think it would completely destroy the lines of the vehicle...the headlights and the grill are the coolest part of the VX (IMO), and the plow would cover them..

They make lighter plows now for smaller vehicles. they weigh about 250 lbs. I have also thought about putting a plow on the vx. shawn

My brother in law has a plow on an ancient bone stock mail jeep. If he can plow out Montana snows with that, I'm sure a VX will have no issues.

just a thought...my dad has a ton and a half military chevy with a county plow on it (darn colorado weather ) (ya talk about about some sweet detroit lockers front and rear :_drool: )

and when the plow gets really resistant the truck has a tendency to go sideways instead of just spin...and therefore has a tendency to slide into huge piles of snow or t-posts....it has lots of dents therefore...i would hate to see a VX have the same problem because of the short wheelbase..

my vote is, buy an old arse vehicle you dont care about and use that...

The short wheelbase is not really an issue. It actually helps IMHO. I have seen a snow plow on a citation, if that can plow a VX can. shawn
