What do you guys think? Are my physics and match correct? I'm a product of the early 80's when I saw anemic trucks with low hp and torque plowing snow, so I figured why can't any vehicle do it today? This took a lot longer to hook up than on my Jeep since its lower and the Lincoln's frame is awkward. It hooks up to the frame using 6 bolt points underneath without drilling any holes and doesn't touch the front bumper assembly. The framing is hidden underneath and I leave it on year round. There's a quick 2 bolt assembly when I want to hook up the plow. I figured out this little plow probably max's out with heavy type of snow weighing about 2000 lbs. (The average snow we get here probably weighs around 1200lbs) The MKX can tow 2200lbs, so it should be OK, correct? I noticed I didn't need the winch anymore to plow, so its not on the Lincoln. I'm only using it about 10 times per year with my driveway, family and friends if needed. On my Jeep, it worked excellent for 7 yrs. After 260,000 miles, I sold the Jeep without any mechanical problems. Best vehicle I ever had. I don't want to mess up the tranny or drivetrain, so if there's too much resistance I can turn the plow, if I feel its still too much, well I guess that was a waste of time. It hasn't snowed here enough on the west side of Cleveland yet, but I can post pics and updates if you guys want. Thanks
