We really like the Meyer Drive Pro 6'8". We think it is a great plow. It performs well, and it is reliable. There is just one thing we would change if we could. The Jack Stand. All other Meyer Plows use a Crank Stand. Thanks to Joey Rega (a willing Guinea Pig) it is now a reality for the Drive Pro 6'8" as well. Click on any picture for a larger view.

Test fitting the post.

Joey keeps his plow on a set of dollies, so he can roll it right up to his Jeep and into the Clevis.

We sent these pictures to Meyer in January 2012.... and then
