There is a golfer at our course who plows with one,I asked him how it did,being 2wd and all.He Had a 9ft Fisher minute mount plow.He said after he ditched the rear tires for a more aggressive set,it didnt do bad,but he had a 2yd sander with custom built extenders on it,he said he had about 3yd in it most of the time,and when it got low or ran out,traction especialy in reverse was a problem at times.He had the 6.5 diesel,and is on his second motor(1st went out at 9K miles) ,with a new pump this year.truck is a 98.He said the braking is excellent,even fully loaded,no problems stopping,unlike his previous 1 ton.
