Remove snow quickly from your driveway or parking lot with this residential, hitch-mounted snowplow. Pivoting, 3-position blade glides over uneven ground. Remote-controlled electric winch lets you raise and lower plow from your warm cab.

Notes:
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
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
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.
Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.
What can I say that you haven't already heard? etrailer.com made this such a painless and straight forward process for selecting the front hitch for my 2015 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited that I can't believe I didn't do it sooner.
The Curt front hitch for my jeep arrived quickly and in great shape, very well packed. On unpacking I found my hardware and instruction firmly secured to it so it didn't get mixed up with my rear hitch, good forward thinking.
The hitch is robustly built and you can see the care that goes into the quality, all the welds are neat and tidy and the finish is excellent. The hardware is all coated for long lasting performance and the fish wire is beyond handy.
For the installation of the front hitch the instructions are a little lacking. This is not to say bad or confusing, just lacking a little more how to. The etrailer video on installing it made the process go smooth and easy. On my Rubicon model you do have to fight with the sway bar motor on the passenger side and the vacuum unit on the driver side, it is a pain but if you take the top frame trim off it is much easier to work. The bolt hole on the drivers side, pass a drill through it to make sure the ft is right because its very tight to work in that area and close won't work. Other than that, it installs exactly like the video. The only thing that would complete the package would be a template for clipping the front plastic shield, the Curt instructions include a sketch that gives you an idea but a simple temporary adhesive template would make it super simple to drill the corners out and then connect the dots with a tool of choice. But hey, that's just me.
The hitch tucks up real nice and doesn't kill approach angle or ground clearance which is great for my application as its for carrying a winch when I need it. I would recommend etrailer.com without hesitation and strongly urge the Curt line of products based on what I've seen so far.
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.
It was a great price to solve my problem of how to take my bike camping when I’m pulling my teardrop trailer.
Installation wasn’t that difficult with the exception of the top bolt on the drivers side. The brake booster pump was in the way. Keep trying and you’ll get it in eventually. It took me about an hour to install.
Fit like a glove and installation was quick and smooth. Delivery was well within reason considering item not in stock. Extremely pleased with etrailer.com and staff kept me informed on shipping.
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!
Perfect fit .fast shipping
Fast shipping! Fits 2013 jk perfectly. As the video states you need to enlarge the hole on the left side. Bought this for the snowbear 84” plow setup.
Great product. Fits nice, looks great.

Bill are these images?.. Or have the images been assign to your post?.. reason Im asking is that it appears that you did a great job cutting away the lower air dam for the hitch receiver.. very professional. Do you have a template for this alteration?
Works well for the price.
The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch 31432 for the Jeep Wrangler is well designed and built. It has excellent fit so no shims or spacers are needed. Your videos and customer comments were very helpful. The problem that others encountered with short bolts seems to be fixed now. Instead of 2 short and 2 long hex head bolts shown in one of the photos, they now provide four "2.25 inch" bolts which are really about 2.125" which makes the lower driver side bolt marginal. Good practice calls for at least 1 thread to extend beyond the nut, but the lower bolt feels (I can't see it) to be approxemately flush which should be good enough.
The hitch was exactly as advertised. Installation instructions were complete.

One year later and its still working great!
I love this plow. It works great for our long driveway. This was easy to assemble and easy to take on and off our Honda Ridgeline.
As always, good quality and price. Service is Good and shipping is fast.
Front reciever 2007 Rubicon The front hitch reciever is for 2007 and on Jeep wrangler but I have a Rubicon. ALMOST the same but there is the small problem of the swaybar disconect. Probably a 10 minute job on a wrangler but on the Rubicon it took an hour squeezing my hands arount the swaybar disconect. Fits and looks great, I highly recomend this item.

on a rubicon remove the sway bar and disconnect as a unit , takes maybe 10 min so you can acess the hitch location.
Excellent merchandise as always. Great company to deal with and fast shipping. I would highly recommend etrailer.com to my friends!

for maneuvering trailers in to tight places!
I do a lot of online ordering and these people are the best delivered way before I expected and consistently checked to make sure everything was great.... I cannot wait to get my hitch on the front of my Jeep so that I can plow snow this winter I'm so excited with this company
We bought this hitch to use a floating snow plow on the front. It's works just like it should.we took our bumper off to put a new aftermarket bumper on which made installation easier. With an aftermarket bumper we did have to trim a part in the middle of the bumper for the hitch to fit but if you have a stock bumper it will fit perfect.
etrailer has been a great!!! They have been updating me on all the shipments.
Jeep wrangler install fairly easy. Need longer arms on handle nuts. Very hard to torque inside frame nuts.

Works great with front hitch plow. Light winter last year though so only used it a couple times.
I have a '13 Wrangler Unlimited. The hitch is solid and the holes in it do line up with the holes in the front bumper. Maybe it's just me, but 45 minutes is an extremely optimistic prediction of how long the installation takes. I ended up having to drill one hole in the bumper support (as suggested) figure out ways to actually get the nuts and washers in such tight quarters. I'm glad it's installed now and looks great. I think a detailed video or an alternate method of attachment would be helpful, for my model at least.
Found a front receiver hitch for my 2011 Jeep Wrangler at a reasonable price. Arrived quickly, had the local garage install for me. We tow a 1960 Nomad trailer with this vehicle and plan to add a bike rack to the front.
Great service, easy to follow instructions for installation. It was a nice front hitch option on Jeep Wrangler to place fishing basket and still have option to use back hitch.
The hitch fit perfect... All the hardware was supplied... However, on the drivers side of my 2012 JK, there is an extra bracket mounted on the frame which causes 2 of the bolts to fall short by a little over a quarter inch... This may only apply to 2012... A quick trip to the hardware store remedied the problem... The order arrived ahead of time and was well packed... Very happy with etrailer and would definately recommend their company...
Looks and works great. Very easy to install with great instructions. 2nd hitch I have purchased from etrailer. Great prices and fast shipping. Recommend highly!
