He details the scratch-built harness and push frame welded from scrap and truck parts, repeated breakage points, repairs over 20 years of use, plus current issues like a worn belt, dying battery, and a tire that popped off the rim. Best for viewers interested in DIY plow fabrication and long-term wear/repair history rather than buying advice or a first-look demo.
Posted by Journeyman Randy, an owner-operator sharing candid, unpolished updates on equipment he's used and modified himself for two decades.
Years of impacts caused metal fatigue, breaking the center weld and all but one bolt, so the owner rebuilt it in 2017 using 5/8 inch tool steel for strength.
The drive belt is worn and loose with no room left to tighten, so the alternator is not charging the battery, and running lights or wipers drains it further.
Pushing mud in spring put heavy sidewall stress during sharp turns, popping it off, and leftover sand and soil between the tire and rim caused it to leak all summer.
A fabricating shop quoted thirty-five hundred dollars each, so the owner built two himself in 2010 and 2011 using scrap metal he had collected.
