The SnowBear Proshovel conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch for easy, convenient mounting. Smoothly and easily raise and lower the plow from the comfort of your cab with the remote-controlled electric actuator. 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. Being just 39" away from the bumper, the Proshovel snowplow has a compact yet strong and sturdy design.
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 Proshovel 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, 11 degrees to the left or to the right, 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 Proshovel.
When you are finished, put your vehicle in park and lower the plow. Remove the plow from your vehicle after every use.
Smooth, Controlled Lifting with Electric Actuator
The electric actuator on this plow allows you to lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. To raise the plow, activate the actuator. As the actuator moves along the internal screw, the arm on top of the actuator will pivot, raising the plow blade by pulling the chain that is attached to it. Having fewer moving parts than a typical winch makes this setup less complicated and less likely to break down than other plow lifting and lowering devices. There is also an internal clutch system that prevents damage to the actuator should you try to raise the blade too high or lower it too low.
Add-On Accessories
SnowBear offers a plethora of helpful accessories to make plowing even safer and easier. Along with the available accessories to enhance your snowplowing experience, many parts of the SnowBear Proshovel snowplow are available separately, so you can replace worn-out pieces without having to replace the whole plow.
The off-road halogen light kit (SB324-127) may be necessary if your plow blocks your vehicle's headlights. This kit will light up the way when you're plowing at night or in the early morning. The light kit mounts directly to your plow frame and offers increased visibility when plowing in dark conditions. The 2 bright halogen lights make it easier for you to see where you are going and for others to see you.
With the caster kit (SB324-126), it will be a breeze to move and store the Proshovel snowplow when it's not in use. These wheels mount directly behind the blade and they can be easily folded down for use and up for storage. In addition, these wheels will not weigh the plow down.
The drop extension kit (SB324-128) allows you to use your SnowBear snowplow on your lifted vehicle. With 6" of drop, this bolt-on kit ensures that the plow makes proper contact with the ground. Its sturdy steel construction is just as strong and durable as the plow itself.
If you are worried about causing damage to your lawn or pathway, the poly scraper attachment (SB324-070) is perfect for replacing the harsh, steel scraper on the Proshovel. The polymer construction is strong enough to still help plow efficiently, but gentle enough to not hurt your lawn or pathway.

Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.Install on the Curt - Titan XD front hitch was super simple. I have a FabFours Vengeance aftermarket front bumper, and I was concerned about clearance with the front receiver. There’s easily a good 3/4” of an inch clearance. The OE tow hooks cannot be reused (because the bumper hangs down a bit too low), but that’s not the fault of the hitch, and the hitch essentially already has three different tow points on it anyway. So the OE hooks aren’t a necessity. Total install time took about 7 minutes, working by myself. Having a ratcheting box end wrench is a big time-saver on the front bolts, and the hitch cross-member blocks direct access to the bolt head. The receiver feels very stout.
As always, etrailer had the best price, the item in stock, and very fast shipping.
This hitch also fits a Nissan NV 3500 - mine is a 2017. I was able to use the bolts and washers that came with the hitch and instead of using the supplied spaces I was able to reinstall the OEM tow hooks. Exact fit. No modifications needed. Very pleased.
Really thought tow hooks would go back on. After hours of fooling with it, called etrailer and was informed they do not. Just mounted today, fit and finish seems good. Word to the wise, have short 19mm sockets or a ratcheting wrench and some way to support the hitch while trying to mount. All in all install. Also a good piece of tape to hold the rear washer would help. We go the rack to hold our eBikes when pulling the camper, time will tell on longevity. Best of luck to you. FYI if you want to keep the tow hooks, you need a long bolt as the etrailer.com rep told me.
Installed this front hitch on my Titan XD. Easy installation with all the necessary hardware included. Fast and easy.
does exactly what i need and very easy to install
The front hitch was perfect fit for my 2021 Nissan Titan XD , BUT better instructions for install and 1/2 inch longer bolt hardware would be make it easier and better, especially when re-using oem tow hooks. They will fit back in place re-using oem bolts. I plan on getting longer ones make sure they are secure into oem welded nuts. 4 out of 5 for these 2 items mentioned.
*Tips on instructions, be clear that front bolts must be put in place,and held with rubber bands or tape, before raising hitch into place,start them first leave loose. They are to long to put in hitch if you start wih the hitch in place and just start the back 2 bolts first. Also set hitch on a floor or scissor jack for easy one man install.
Well made Curt product. Bolts issued with kit do not fit, as they are coarse thread. The Nissan OEM bolt and welded nut are machine thread. I just reused the Nissan OEM bolts. My truck is a 2016 SL. The spacers were not needed; I saw online directions they are for the Pro 4X models. I did use all the washers (the 2 separate washers to level the rear bolt fitting. I did not reinstall the OEM tow hooks, as the bolt length would be insufficient and it would create unnecessary stress upon the install.
Great hitch easy to install and did a great job when used.
The website initially showed delivery on 6/19 for all shipping methods and a few hours after placing the order, the delivery date changed to 6/21. Besides this hiccup, the receiver was just as I expected and it was installed quickly on my Nissan NV3500.
I've had this front receiver hitch on my pickup for a year now, and it's be great! I have used it to move trailers around, but I primarily use it for my hammock that can be used in my hitch. I also use the front receiver to haul long loads of wood (longer than 30ft even, and it's been great for that.
Perfect fit. Kept the airdam and tow hooks. No trimming, slipped right in.
Outstanding, perfect fit , great for my snowplow and tow ball in summer. Paint is holding up good.
Very quick install, thanks for the great product!
Perfect fit

Great. Easy to install
Good quality, easy install, and this will be a welcomed addition.
Bolted up with little effort. Work's g reat!
Fit great, it is now on my 2017 Nissan Titan XD.
I purchased a SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow and a 2" Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The front mount hitch receiver was a breeze to mount to my vehicle. Literally 15 minutes from start to finish. When the SnowBear plow arrived I was a little apprehensive, as it came in 3 separate boxes and some assembly was required. The directions included were phenomenal, easy to understand and took you through complete assembly step by step. This has been a wonderful experience and I could not be happier.
Overall it's a good light duty plow, works like it's supposed to, clears the snow with no problems. Originally purchased the plow with the hitch receiver mount, But the plow stuck out quite a bit in my opinion plus there was to much wobble. So I converted to the 2 point mount which brought the plow in closer and a lot less wobble.
There was an issue with the actuator, it would work intermittently when lowering the plow but Snow Bear covered it under warranty and sent me a new one.
My only gripe is that only after 3 months of Winter use, the whole plow was showing a lot of surface rust and the paint was peeling.
Overall it is a good setup, does the job it's suppose to. Had one problem with the actuator intermittently working when lowering the plow, but was replaced under warranty.
Originally purchased to use in a front mounted hitch receiver, but switched to the two point hookup which brought the plow in closer to the vehicle and made it a little more stable.
My only problem was after 3 months of winter use, paint was peeling and a lot of surface rust showing.
