Question:
I’ve got a Ram 1500 and a long gravel lane to the barn. Which Meyer plow would handle that best?

Expert Reply:
Denise, the HomePlow # ME53FR with full hydraulics is tailor-made for that kind of setup - more lift power and smoother angling for longer passes. If you’d rather keep it simpler, the electric # ME88FR works great too at a more budget-friendly price.
Both mount to a 2" front receiver. For a half-ton like yours, I suggest adding front suspension helpers to keep the truck level when the plow’s raised. You can find those, along with the proper receiver-and-plow combo, in our FitGuide.
How long’s your gravel road?

Thanks, Andrew. Do I need the snow shoes too for gravel, or will the hydraulic float handle that?
