This Generation III Classic Personal snowplow is the most recent innovation from SnowBear. This plow conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch (sold separately) for easy, convenient mounting. It has a remote-controlled electric winch that will let you raise and lower the plow without leaving the warmth and comfort of your cab. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain. Angled trip springs are also built in to help keep the blade from catching and tripping.


Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation

HITCH MOUNTING

This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. Unlike a plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets, which ties you down to just 1 vehicle, this hitch-mounted plow can be used on most trucks or SUVs with a 2" x 2" front-mounted hitch. As a result, this plow can be easily switched between multiple vehicles. And because it offers a nearly universal fit, you won't have to buy a new plow when you replace your old vehicle.


To install the Personal snowplow, just slide the shank of the plow assembly into your 2" trailer hitch receiver . Then use a pin and clip or a hitch lock (sold separately) to secure the plow in the receiver.


How to Plow

Once the plow is mounted on your vehicle, lower the blade and set it to the desired angle. To set the angle, exit the vehicle and manually position the plow straight ahead, or 22 degrees to the left or to the right. Angling the blade allows you to push snow off to the side where you want it without having to change the angle of your entire vehicle. This is especially useful on a driveway or private roadway where piling the snow straight ahead would create a barrier.


To begin plowing, just drive forward. When backing up to take another pass, be sure to lift the plow with the remote or the in-cab toggle switch, then lower it again before moving forward. When approaching a large pile of snow, be sure to decrease your speed. Slamming into a pile of snow can void the warranty on the Personal snowplow.


When you are finished, put your vehicle in park and lower the plow. Remove the plow from your vehicle after every use.


Easy Lifting with Electric Winch

WINCH

The electric winch on this plow allows you to easily lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. The winch uses a durable nylon strap, which is much quieter than a chain, to raise and lower the plow.

It wasn't hard to install, instead of the wire I used two pen sized telescoping magnets to wriggle them in the square holed plates. My plans are to use this hitch in place of tow hooks. Good looks and sturdy!

Better than a snowblower!! Made very well, had it put together and mounted in a couple hours. Used it for two small snowfalls and it worked as expected. Great customer service from etrailer!



by: Lynn08/08/2020

I didn’t know how much I would need this until I moved into my new house just yesterday. The garage door is much shorter at our new house, 7 foot vs. 9 feet. Using the front hitch and a 5 1/2 drop hitch, I have about two inches of clearance when putting my boat in our new garage. Without the front hitch I would have been able to get the boat in the garage. Not to mention how much more the trailer is to steering inputs, the garage is much narrower that our old one. If you have a tight spot to park something this will make your life much easier! Installation was simple and instructions well written. The tool to install the mounting bolts is a brilliant idea.

Better than expected. I didn’t need it when I first bought it, but we moved shortly after I installed the hitch. I left a 9 foot garage door on a detached garage. With a 5 in hitch my boat clears a 7 foot garage door. It will not low enough off the rear receiver.

2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I bought a Snow bear personal plow and a separate Curt receiver hitch for the front of my 2012 F250.. after speaking with Erica W. several times due to blunders on my part, all was perfect. Quick delivery, price was right, items are super rugged. The stock photos don't do justice. My plow came in at 350 pounds without the receiver hitch. It's not a cheap toy plow. Get one, they'll fit nearly anything! Thanks Erica!!



by: Jason 10/11/2023

I am very happy with the product. Went on easy fit great. Looks very well made.



by: Graham S Graham05/28/2020

I like my front hitch.
Pros: easy to
moderate ease of install.
Comes with all the hardware.
I have tested it using a winch on the front to move a 62 Lincoln continental, No problems.

Con: My truck is a stock dodge 4x4. My point being is it is not raised, but higher than typical dodges. I had to buy a front hitch guard because the hitch kept hitting the concrete parking barriers when you park. So if you are going to drive off road, keep in mind this hitch may hit.

If I sold my truck I would want to pull this part off if there was a way to put it on a new truck.

Easy ordering, quick delivery, relatively simple installation. Took a couple of hours from start to finish and worked perfectly to back my camper/trailer into a tight space.

Will def. Be using this company again



by: Todd02/23/2018

Having a front trailer hitch on my truck is great. Now I can pull my camper with the rear hitch & put my bicycle carrier on the front hitch. Have not tried moving my boat or camper with the front hitch yet, but I know it will be great for putting either one in to a tight spot.



by: Gary C11/11/2013

The service I received from etrailer was outstanding; the customer service rep that helped me with my order was super friendly and very helpful with all my questions and concerns and processed my order on the spot. I had my shipping confirmation right after I placed my order and received my hitch in 2 days from start of my order... The only issue I had was from the maker of the hitch I purchased, the wire they give you to fish the bolts was too short from my access point on the frame of the truck but with a little extension added on the wire given to me allowed me to installed the hitch with no problems... etrailer in my book is A+++ and I will buy all my truck and hitch needs from this awesome internet store.. Thank You again etrailer for a super smooth transaction with my purchase.

Front hitch was fairly easy to install. Instructions easy to follow only complaint was wire for fishing bolts thru frame broke while pulling 2nd bolt thru. Had to make one from wire I had. Hitch works great for my needs.



by: nate macallister03/20/2014

we hooked it up today thursday march 20 2014. the hitch was very easy to install. we then hooked up a receiver with a winch mounted to it. we then hook the cable from winch to a tree to test the trailer hitch and the winch and receiver all at once it all worked great.can't wait to test it all out four wheeling. my friends will see it soon and they all want the same hook up.

Great company to deal with and the hitch fits perfect as did the last one I bought from etrailer.I mounted this front hitch on my 2004 Dodge Ram 4X4 and it didn't requirer cutting out the center of the spoiler.took about 35 minutes.Delivery was very fast and I am completely satisfied.



by: Darrell08/05/2016
2007 Dodge Ram-Pickup

Received my hitch promptly and installation went fairly easy The only problem I had was that the fish wire tool was to short for the front two holes on both sides. I was able to attach a coat hanger to it to extend the reach and complete the job
The video was very helpful in positioning the hitch
All and all I am very pleased with this hitch.

I had ordered a similar hitch from Amazon weeks before receiving it damaged three different times. Three is a charm and I started searching elsewhere when I found you guy's, etrailer.com. The product arrived undamaged. Though I've not installed it yet I believe it will be a whole lot easier due to the wonderful installation video you sent me. I will tell you the video was a selling point for me. Thank you for the great service, product and the video.

Very high quality. Very easy to install. Does not take away any ground clearance. On the 2004 Ram, no drilling and no cutting fascia. I will use mine mainly for carrying bicycles while towing our travel trailer.



by: Rick V.09/24/2012
2004 DodgeRam Pickup

Item is perfect...I installed it by myself in about 45 minutes on my 2004 Dodge Ram...No need to drill holes as they are already there, and didn't need to trim the air dam below :O)...the fish wire was great!!! easier to fish the bolt etc from the mounting holes straight up through the frame than trying to go all the way to the access hole though...

Doing fine. No complaints.



by: Keith03/05/2018

Like most everything we’ve bought here this worked well and was a good value.

The installation was only similar to the instructions but worked out well in about and hour start to finish. The wire to snake the bolts into place is clever.



by: Christopher02/27/2022

Great hitch and makes positioning my travel trailer on a long and narrow driveway so easier!

  • Can SnowBear Plow be Used with 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • With a front hitch installed on your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee like the Curt # C31048 you can use a SnowBear plow like the part # SB324-081 that you referenced which was designed to attach to 2 inch hitches.

  • Snowbear Plow Receiver Hitch vs Custom Mount
  • The biggest difference I have seen between the two style is in the amount of play they have side to side. While it isn't a ton there is more play in the single connection point than what you will get out of the custom frame bracket types. We carry both types here but given the choice I would go with the custom bracket version. If you plan on moving it from one vehicle to another from time to time then the hitch mount is the way to go for ease of use. There is a great option with custom

  • Do You Have a Wiring Diagram for the Snowbear Personal Snow Plow # SB324-081?
  • I went ahead and attached the wiring diagram for the 84-Inch Wide Snowbear Personal Snow Plow # SB324-081. If you need assistance with reading voltage when customizing your switch, I recommend using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993.

  • Front Hitch for 2006 Jeep Commander to Mount SnowBear Personal Snowplow
  • Since the SnowBear Personal Snowplow part # SB324-081 is designed to attach to a front hitch what you'll need is a front hitch designed to fit your 2006 Jeep Commander like the Curt # C31056 and you'd be set.

  • Snow Bear Plow Recommendation for Fitting 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
  • In order to use a Snowbear plow on the front of a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo you'll need to use the one that installs with a front hitch. So for the front hitch you'd need the part # C31048 and then for the plow you'd want the part # SB324-081.

  • Is it Okay to Back Drag Snow with the 84" Wide SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches
  • Yes, I spoke with my contact at SnowBear and they confirmed that you can back drag with the Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-081. It won't perform nearly as well, but it can be used for this application. If you don't already have a front mount hitch receiver on your vehicle just let me know the year/make/model and I can make a recommendation for you!

  • Recommended Snow Plow for a 2017 Nissan Titan XD
  • As long as your front mount hitch receiver on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD was between 7 to 13 inches from the ground that the Personal Snowplow # SB324-081 that you referenced will fit. My contact at SnowBear confirmed this. The photo you are referring to is just a generic photo from the manufacturer. We also supply accessories for the SnowBear Snowplow like the Caster Kit # SB324-126 which allows you to wheel the snowplow when bringing it out of storage or putting it away into storage.

  • Solution for SnowBear Snow Plow that Wobbles When Raised Up While Traveling
  • I spoke with SnowBear about the issue you described and they said it sounds like you aren't using the safety chain that came with the plow which was designed for removing the play you are describing. There's more info on it on pages 13 and 14 in the manual of the plow. Secondly, vehicles with plows connected should NOT travel on roadways without the safety chain installed, as this may result in serious damage to the roadway, plow and vehicle and may cause serious injury to the operator.

Since you have an aftermarket bumper you will need to check out the linked installation instructions to try to determine if this will fit with your bumper or not.

  • Does Snowbear Plow Come With Front Mounted Hitch?
  • The SnowBear Personal Snowplow, # SB324-081, does not come with a front-mounted hitch, but there is an option available for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler. I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 31432, which is a two-inch hitch that bolts on and is a is custom-fit for Wranglers. The SnowBear offers accessories which are designed to make things easier on you, such as the Lighting Kit, # SB324-127, which mounts to the frame of the plow and simply wires to your Jeep's battery.

  • Plow Recommendation for 2002 Chevy Avalanche with Front Hitch
  • For a hitch mounted plow for the type of application you mentioned I really like the K2 # K2AVAL8219. It's 82 inches wide and 19 inches tall that uses a winch motor to raise and lower. It also comes with a wireless remote to make operation and install easy.

  • Wiring for SnowBear Personal Snow Plow
  • According to the control box wiring diagram (see attached) 2 of the wires for the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-081 go to the electric winch and 2 of them go to the battery. The only other thing that you might have is a switch for light accessories but the black wires for that setup go to ground. If none of this matches what you have then go ahead and send me a photo and/or a part number for the box you are looking at and I can see if there is anything else I can find out.

  • Can Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver Be Installed Upside Down?
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31320 is not designed to be installed upside down. The hitch may or may not need to be modified for that, but the frame would required drilling for that and the warranty from the manufacturer would not cover that use as it hasn't been tested for load under that use. I can't recommend it.

  • I do have front mount trailer hitch options for a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31320 which is what I recommend but none of them mount inside the front bumper like you see on the earlier models. The reduction in ground clearance is very minimal but there is not a workaround for this. For a winch mount, the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate with Handles part # BDW20011 is what I recommend.

  • Is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Compatible with Westin E-Series Bull Bar on a 2008 Dodge Ram
  • It is sometimes possible to have both a Bull Bar and a front mount trailer hitch installed at the same time on a vehicle. The problem is that in the majority of vehicles, both parts require at least some of the same mounting locations so they would interfere with one another. What you will need to do is take a look at the isntructions for the front mount hitch that I have linked to see where it mounts and compare that to the mounting locations used by the Bull Bar to determine compatibility.

It does mount with the receiver opening below the bumper. Per the instructions the front fascia or air dam may need to be trimmed to allow clearance for the hitch.

If the front of the frame member allows enough room to pull the bolt and spacer through, you can go that route.

Both of these hitches are rated to 9,000 pounds of line pull, but the Draw-Tite # 65046 is rated to 500 of tongue/vertical load, which will be higher than the Curt's 350 pound capacity.
