    It depends on what you are going to be using it for? Dirt and snow? Just snow? Plowing on gravel or on asphalt or sidewalks?

    Plow

    I just ordered a black line and should be in tomorrow hopefully. I'm putting it on my 95 mits and planning on using for snow on asphalt and rock driveway in the summer. Like the down pressure option! How much you looking to spend? Guy I got mine from was cheaper than black line website. If you want his name I'd sure share it. Heck of a nice guy. Good luck

    Blackline plow: beware

    I have a blackline plow that's electric up and down, hydrolic left right. The plow uses thin metal in some critical areas. I took off the hydrolic angle shift because it was a major weak point. I used 1/4 thick square tube where they have a rolled piece of metal that is also weak. The worst thing about blackline plow is their customer service. I called the two numbers listed on the website at least ten times and left them messages about ordering parts. I never got ahold of blackline or got a call back. It's a vey expensive plow for what you actually get.

    If you don't need a power down option and you aren't afraid of some fabrication work I highly recommend Eagle Plows made by American Manufacturing. Excellent customer service, bombproof construction, and serious performance. I use an Eagle plow with a 72" plow blade. The blade is $300 and a push tube is $200... free shipping so it's a little less expensive than a blackline setup.

    You'll need a winch and to do some fabrication to get it mounted... but if you've got the skills to do it you'll save some cash and this plow doesn't screw around moving snow. Here's a super short vid of my setup:

    I have to recommend Eagle Plows every time someone asks about plows... their customer service was amazing and their product has exceeded my expectations in quality and performance.

    plow

    Any local welding shop can get you setup pretty simple if you don't do your own fab work. The eagle plow setup would be darn good like Ironraven has. I priced the whole setup with blade, winch, and push blade and i was looking at 900 give or take. The Blackline I got was 1100 to my door. I went that route but everyones needs are different. If you dont need down pressure go Ironravens route and you will be happy. Anything is better than nothing right? good luck with the decision. I still havn't got my blackline in. getting impatient!!

    Blackline plows: beware

    When it comes to plowing, it's all about the strength and relibility. My blackline plow came with my carry when I bought it. I just can't recommend a blackline plow to anyone because how weak they are and their lack of customer service. That's my two cents.
