Hey Alan! The Plowser snow plow # PL53YR is a fixed, straight-ahead blade, so it doesn’t angle left or right like hydraulic plows do. Snow is pushed straight forward and rolled off naturally by the curved blade design.

The key thing is to keep your steering straight while plowing. Trying to turn the vehicle to guide the snow - especially with trucks or Jeeps - can cause the plow to fishtail. Slow, steady, straight passes work best with this setup.

Is this your first time using a straight-blade plow, or have you used something similar before? Happy to talk through technique if you want.

Hey Dave, the Plowswer plow part #PL53YR does not have any height adjustability but as long as you install it in a hitch that is between 11 and 19 inches from the ground it's going to work great.
