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 (sold separately) . 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.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.

How cool is that?! Thanks for sharing the awesome photo!



by:

It would have been nice if the gentleman who sold me my snow plow would have told me that I needed a drop down hitch instead of a straight hitch, which makes a big difference when trying to plow.



by:

The plow works ok. It's easy enough to get on and off the vehicle. Fatal flaw is the winch strap. I have replaced 3 times in one winter of plowing. If you purchase this product be sure to order extra winch straps!

Works well for the price.

  • Snow Bear Plow Recommendation for 2008 Honda Ridgeline
    You may not be able to use the Snowbear plot part # SB324-080 on the highway but you could still transport it in your front hitch to your other driveway as long as the plow was up off the pavement. You'd also need the front hitch part # 33328 installed on your 2008 Honda Ridgeline.

  • Snow Plow Recommendation for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler
    Actually SnowBear does not list a max height range for their snow plows like the part # SB324-080. Since you have a 2 inch front hitch installed on your 2002 Jeep Wrangler it should work well for you. I attached a review video for this plow for you to check out as well.

  • Installation Recommednations for SnowBear Snow Plow on 2014 GMC Sierra
    A trusted mechanic should be able to handle the installation for you. According to Curt, installation of their # C31012 front receiver should take around 45 minutes to an hour for an experienced installer. Once the receiver is installed, the plow will require assembly and electrical connections to the vehicle battery, and wiring the remote which should take a few hours. Any qualified mechanic should be able to complete the installation in around 3 or 4 hours. I've linked you to the installation...

  • Which Front Hitch Fits 1998 Jeep Wrangler for Use with Snow Plow
    Since your goal is to push a plow with a front hitch for our 1998 Jeep Wrangler you'd want the hitch part # C31028 instead as the Draw Tite # 65048 puts the hitch opening too high for a plow like the SnowBear part # SB324-080 to be used. In the install instructions there's no mention of needing to remove tow hooks so you wouldn't need to remove them.

  • Is Bumper Modification Required to Install a Front Mount Hitch on a 2003 Dodge Durango
    We have front mount trailer hitches available for the 2003 Dodge Durango as long as it is a 4WD model. At this time there are no front mount hitches available for the 2WD models. If you have a 4WD model, then I recommend installing the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31080. This has the highest vertical pull rating of our front mount hitches and it does not require any bumper modifications. The receiver will sit just below the front bumper fascia. I have attached the installation instructions...

  • Are The Mounting Brackets The Same For DK2 And Snowbear Snowplows On 2002 Jeep Liberty
    The Snowbear and DK2 snowplows require different mounting brackets. For example, in order to mount the Detail K2 Summit II Snowplow # K2SUMM8826 you would need Custom Mounting Brackets # K284121. You could, however, install Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C31022 which could accommodate various snowplows from both brands. The Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8219 and SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB324-080 would both would fit this 2" receiver.

  • Front Mounted Receiver Hitch For 2018 Ford F150
    I'd be happy to help you with that! I'd recommend the Draw-Tite front mounted receiver, part # 65067 which would work well for carrying a bike rack. Front mounted receivers are also handy for moving trailers around in tight quarters and are ideal as a mount for a light-duty personal snow plow like # SB324-080. If you click the provided links, you can see the installation instruction and video.

  • Recommended Front Trailer Hitch for 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4WD for Snow Plow
    For your 2015 Toyota Tacoma 4WD, I recommend the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 for the easiest install. You are correct that the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch # 65070 will allow you to retain the skid shield and will work well for your truck and this plow.

  • What Parts do I Need to Mount the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 to My 2022 Jeep Wrangler?
    I have an answer for you to connect the Snowbear # SB324-080 to your 2022 Jeep Wrangler. In the video you are referring to for the Curt Front Hitch - 2" # C31086, that shows the installation of the hitch on a 2018 Wrangler. While we do not have the ground clearance height of the hitch installed on a 2022 model, it most likely differs within a couple inches. Also, since the receiver tube measures 2 inches from inside the top tube to the inside of the bottom tube, the ground clearance is...

    I was able to find a better picture that shows where the hitch opening of the Curt front hitch part # C31048 will be when installed on a similar Jeep Grand Cherokee as your 2002 model that I attached to this page. It basically just sits right below the front bumper. I also lightened up the picture you mentioned so that you can see where it's at on that picture as well.

  • Can Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch 65080 Mount Snow Plow
    Yes, you can absolutely mount a snow plow like the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 you referenced on the Draw-Tite front-mounted hitch you asked about: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080 This hitch, which fits 2007 and up Toyota Tundras and Sequoias, meets the necessary standards and has a 500 lb vertical load limit (which is like tongue weight for a front-mount hitch), and the SnowBear weighs 315 lbs, so it has more than the necessary capacity.

  • Front Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Ford F-150
    The front hitch I recommend for your 2020 Ford F-150 is the Curt part # C31083 as it has plenty of weight capacity and installs easily. Also, Curt front hitches are the ones our snow plow manufacturers recommend and test with so we know they are very solid when used with plows like the SnowBear # SB324-080.

    For all of the plows you mentioned you'd need the Curt hitch part # C31078 installed on your 2017 Ford F-250 to use them. The winch style is the most common seen and is generally considered to be the most reliable and best option. If for nothing else the visibility is much better with them like on the part # SB324-080 over the # SB324-140 due to the actuating arm. The K2 plow part # K2AVAL8422 is a great plow, the Snowbears are a bit more popular and well-known, but this plow is solid...

    Yes, the Curt hitch part # C31064 that you referenced is the same as the FHK31064 that you mentioned from Meyer Plow. Curt front hitches are the most commonly recommended by plow companies and it's very common they'll slightly change the part numbers or rebrand them as their own which is what's going on in your case. With this hitch installed on your 2013 Honda Pilot you could use the Snowbear Plow part # SB324-080 which is 82 inches wide, 19 inches tall, and is easily controllable wirelessly...
