Comparing Snow Plows for 2017 Ford F-250 4x4
Question:
I have 2017 F250 4x4. Im comparing Snowbear personal, Snowbear Proshovel and Detail K2 plows. The difference I notice and my question is related to the lift system. Is proshovel screw type actuator any better or worse than a winch/strap combination for lifting and holding weight while traveling? Thank you?

For all of the plows you mentioned you'd need the Curt hitch part # C31078 installed on your 2017 Ford F-250 to use them.
The winch style is the most common seen and is generally considered to be the most reliable and best option. If for nothing else the visibility is much better with them like on the part # SB324-080 over the # SB324-140 due to the actuating arm.
The K2 plow part # K2AVAL8422 is a great plow, the Snowbears are a bit more popular and well-known, but this plow is solid and our customers who have it really like it. It is a much heavier weighing setup too.
