The end of the bar is a little used and displays the angle you see. I've had that bar for 4-5 years. But I can show you a bent pintle, I think I still have it.Sorry I've been slack on photos but this is what we made for the rear hitch and bumper.
Is it just my eyes, the angle, or have you actually managed to bend that pintle???
Generally those things are rated around 8 ton, and they have a 2:1 safety factor, so bending one is quite the feat.The end of the bar is a little used and displays the angle you see.

I'm fine with that! I also bought 5 pallets of calcium chloride and magnesium chloride on the cheap. If we get some ice storms and I put it all out, it'll cover the cost of the ice melt and plows!Brian, you know that now since you purchased that plow, you pretty much guaranteed that we will not get any snow this year. More than likely we will be plagued with ice only.

And there you have it folks! Gonna be a record warm and ice/snow free winter for North Carolina this year!
I'm fine with that too but will pray for rain and freezing temps! Bought all this mess with 2014 profit so if I hadn't spent it, it would have been a tax bill at the end of the year.
It's funny that you bring this up. I originally was going to order amber colored lights and for giggles talked to a buddy of mine who is a State Highway Patrol Supervisor about them. His words were, it doesn't matter what color warning/safety strobes you use as long as you are using them for intended purposes, safety. plowing. ect. He mentioned, you might have an issue if you were using white/red strobes. He said they can't enforce against white strobes because the majority of wreckers, recovery guys and majority of non-emergency vehicles use them.
I don't understand it but one of my friends owns a recovery business called "Final Notice" he runs his strobes all the time in white even when he isn't in tow.
I thought I would try the lights I already ordered. The only concern I have if I mount 2 strips where my windshield meets the headliner on either side of the mirror, how much light will fill the cab.

Yeah, NC is really only super strict about blue. They have so many vehicles listed as authorized for red that I can't see them seriously enforcing it unless someone was being a jackass. They do have a very specific prohibition against white lights on the rear of vehicles while they're moving forward. They're the only state I've seen with a whole separate statute just for that.
