Front Hitch Snow Plow

[LCCollector]

Picked up a used SnowSport Plow on Craigslist and a universal hitch receiver at Walmart and ended up with this...

Your LC looks too nice to plow!! That's a lot of height, don't see the hydraulics to get the plow to the pavement? Where did you mount the switch on the inside?

Which brand/model hitch receiver and how did you mount it to the truck?

There is no wiring, everything is manual, less stuff to go wrong.

The hitch is a Reese 37042 from WalMart of $79. Mounts perfectly in the front tow hook mount holes, no modifications were needed. The Plow is a SnowSport HD.

Here a few more photos of my plow in action from this past winter. It performed with no issues and pushed snow better than the ¾ ton plow trucks we use for our other properties.

I don't know anything about snow plows but I'd be surprised if something won't end up bending with a cantilevered system like that, if you do more than light duty plowing or if you ever catch anything hard with the blade.

Nice house!

I was thinking the same.
What would happen if there was a bit of snow, and not only a thin layer of white powder on the ground. Like when you get 2 feet of heavy dense snow over night.
