Snowsport Plow
Hey guys
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with the snowsport plow? I ordered one to try out and see if its worth $1000.
It looks good on video and the concept is good. only 115-125lbs
Only needs a front hitch which I installed last week. That really sucks bolting it on by yourself.

I've never seen a plow like that before but it's a very interesting idea. Please let us know how well it works. It sure would be nice just being able to attach it and remove it easily with no hooking up anything. It sure is a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a "normal" plow.
I do have a couple concerns about it though. How strong is it? Will it stand up to lots of use? Sometimes I find that you want to nose into a wall or whatever and drag the snow out backwards and then plow it. With this design you couldn't do that.
If the snow is hardpacked you wont be able to dig into it much but maybe a couple runs at it would work.

Guys I got the plow in and it works great.
It goes through fresh snow like a hot knife through soft butter. We had a storm this past weekend and got 4-6 inches and I had no problems doing a lot 90x40.
It also worked well in slush/snow. Pushed it hard with only a small concern. When the slush was pushing to the top of the plow and out to the sides, I was worried that the sides of the plows would rip off, but they didn't.
It only had one downfall, it can't dig in if the snow is packed hard because the plow automatically raises to the terrain/ or over the packed snow.
