In Reply to: Western or Meyers ... any opinions? posted by bruce in CO on Thursday, December 22, 2005 at 11:51PM :
Since about 1971 I've had 2 or 3 Meyers. Always had solinoid problems sooner or later. Always putting the expensive blue fluid in them. I've used Westerns but never owned one. Seem to be good plows. In 98 I bought a Ram 2500 Cummins and put on a 8 1/2 foot Fisher V plow. Still useing both with 100-150 inches of snow a year and no problems with the Fisher. I like it. Have never had to add fluid. It dosen't ride up like the Meyers tended to do and get you hung up when not careful. It has a better spring system. the Meyers would get weak after a while and need new springs flipping over too much.
