Wasn't aware of the Dingo. I utilize the same multi tool concept with Stihl for small tasks. I have the weed trimmer and the chain saw attachments and will be adding the lawn sweeper this spring.

The Dingo is an interesting option but will it eat my baby?

There is a baby eating attachment but it’s quite expensive.

My training

Who cares? Those things are like adult sized Tonka toys. I've rented them a couple times for projects and half the time my wife has it off playing around with it. If I bought one of those I wouldn't have to plow, my wife would think it was fun and do it for me.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

If you get a 1/2 ton, get a standard duty 7.5 foot plow. If you get a 3/4 ton, get a 8 foot pro plow.

Went to see Boss dealer today, didn't know until I went looking but have one 15 minutes away. Looked at 7 1/2 foot steel and poly. Dealer was pushing (selling) the light duty poly. Poly is lighter by 40 pounds, snow doesn't stick to the blade, and is $100 more than light steel ($5,100) not including feet.

I have the heavy duty front axle (tow/haul) and have been told by Western and Snowex dealers I can handle the standard duty (their recommendation) without modification. You recommended the standard duty and so I was surprised the Boss dealer (since 1990) was concerned about weight. What are your thoughts on poly blades.

I have a poly on a 1/2 ton. Yeah, eight isn’t much different. Yet, they push for poly on lighter duty trucks. They don’t rust. That’s a plus. I would also spray the backside metal parts of the plow with Fluid film (buy at Autozone or parts shop). It will keep the plow looking good and not rusting. Also, you can spray the fluid film on the electrical connections too.

Forget snow ex, get the boss.
