    Joal Cat 920

    I saw one made by Joal. But the one at the store had a broken piston on it. And it was $28 so I didnt want to spend the money on it.

    What the best snow plow

    With a straight blade you can put on wings, or sides that are at a 90 degree angle with the moldboard.

    Anybody own one? I saw one at a hobby shop today, and REALLY want one, but they are going for LOTS of money. Id love to buy one and modify the cab into one of the other configurations.
