Western snowplow controller gripe.
I have a western mid-weight snow plow, (8’ straight blade mounted to a 2017 F250). Plow was bought new with the truck.
Plow controller is a dash mounted joystick- what I grew up on.
I absolutely hate the quality of the controller and HATE, that western does not offer a simple up - down - left - right controller, for the heavier duty plows.
So I have a few questions for the experts out there.
-
This is probably a very stupid question to anyone who understands how wiring works, but, does anyone know if the old controllers could be converted to accept the new controller wiring configuration. (I believe the old controllers are 6 pin and the new controllers are 4 pin).
-
Does anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes what I am looking for? I have done some research but haven’t come up with anything.
Thank you!
