uneven tire wear. If the snowplowing equipment
is later removed, check the front-end alignment
again.

will not ordinarily be removed when not in use,
such as heavy-duty winches, snowplow
components, brush guards, etc, then the
following index cannot be exceeded.

recommended for snow plowing.
Front axle curb weight must not exceed 63%
