Cheaper alternative to high end plows for 24" Dump?

Looking for a more budget friendly plow setup that won't fold the second a real storm rolls in, doesn't have to be top tier or anything, but it should be reliable enough to handle a 24" snowfall without constantly breaking down or needing repairs, its mostly for personal use, driveway, maybe a neighbor or two, vehicle is a half ton, so I've got some flexibility.
Recos please?
TIA
 
@P.zuko For personal driveways and the occasional neighbor, a mid-range poly blade setup will handle 24" just fine without stressing your half ton. Avoid the ultra-light duty ones tho, they bend quick in heavy snow.
 
Most budget-friendly plows are junk until you hit real snow, if you want reliability for a 24-inch dump, you're basically looking at spending closer to mid-tier, not the absolute cheap stuff.
