Can you Back Drag with SnowBear Elite Snowplow

Updated 09/12/2025 | Published 08/21/2025

Question:

I was just wondering if this plow system: K2AVAL8826ELT being a actuator unit instead of a winch unit has the ability to put some down force onto the plow to help in the aid of back dragging and breaking up hard pack and ice? Only question I really have for this and as long as it can do that somewhat then Ill probably be purchasing soon. thanks for your time

Hey Kyle, while the SnowBear Elite Snowplow winch part # K2AVAL8826ELT does have an actuator it does not push down with enough force to really do much back dragging. We have a customer who came back and told us this was his experience with the plow. We don't have anything really heavy duty enough for back dragging.

Hey Kyle, did you decide to go ahead with the SnowBear Elite Snowplow despite the back dragging limitation? I'm asking because your experience could help others who are considering this plow for similar needs.
