To celebrate the plowing industry in Maine, Fisher Engineering recently gave snowplow operators the opportunity to win a custom-painted "Plow Maine" Fisher XtremeV snowplow.

Walter Gogan of Levant, Maine, is the winner. Gogan is the owner of Walt's Lawn Care, a landscaping and snow removal company that plows both residential and commercial accounts.

The "Plow Maine" XtremeV is Gogan's first V-plow. On making the switch from a straight blade to a V-plow, Gogan said, "I've always liked my 9-foot Fisher straight blade, but now that I have a vee, I can only see myself buying vees from now on."

As for the custom "Plow Maine" paint job, Gogan said, "It took some getting used to at first, but only because I've always been partial to Fisher yellow. But going down the road, man, a lot of people stop and stare at this plow!"
