Best plow size?

[84k20]

Hey guys so I'm thinking about getting a plow for my k20 this winter she's lifted about 6-8 inches front and rear I know ill have to drop down the push plates so that I can plow better but what do u guys run? 8foot blades? 9foot? Fisher? snow dog? Let me know! Thanks

I have a 9' Fischer Speedcaster - it's vintage now, but it is awesome.

Only 6" wider on either side than an 8'. But it is so heavy that - once it starts moving snow - it almost drives itself.

I have an 86 K30 but I'm sure a 3/4 ton would handle a 9 footer just as well.

They only problem is at the gas station pumps - even fully tilted, it shows a wide profile. Those extra 6" on either side make it seem like you're a "bull in a china shop".

Thanks for the input this is exactly what I'm looking for and I like the idea of a 9 footer.. More 1 pass visits to my driveways that need plowing haha
.... Anyone else???

plowed for years with seven and half blade they work well it tight areas like driveways if doing large parking an eight footer takes a little less time, nine foot will be heavy even for a three quarter , will be hard on the suspension

My '73 K-20 had an 8' Fisher Speedcast, dealer option.

The heavier blades seem to push better. I had a Fisher setup off a Ford I stuck on one of my trucks that ran off a belt driven hydraulic pump. Now that was a nice setup. That was from back in the 80's though. We have a nice Western on the F-250 at work that is really reliable. Good unit. Has the plug in remote control you hold in your hand.
