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.
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, 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.

It arrived in a timely manner and everything was there. But just like other reviews the packaging was weak and the receiver hitch was able to move around inside the oversize box, but thats was no big deal. Also like other reviews the bolts are too short. Tightened all the way down, the bolt is just a thread short of being flush with the nut. Which is disappointing to know after the reviews stating as such. I thought e-trailer would have rectified that. But it's on, and seems to be strong and good fit.

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.

Heavy duty and heavy, I had it installed by myself (with the help of a floor jack)in less than 30 minutes, love it. Now UPS, the shipper leaves a lot to be desired. Good thing the hitch was built great because the packaging was destroyed.

2009 ChevroletSilverado
I bought this about an year ago for my 2009 Chevy Silverado to push 28 ft trailer. This thing saves my life every time when I need to push my trailer back to the back of the driveway. I have a narrow driveway and long too. In the past I will have to try many times to back in the trailer. Now with the front hitch the back in is much more easier. However I do find one thing that is not expected, the hitch is way too low that I am not able to use my flip folder jack foot, it does not have enough clearance to make it fully stand. I have to get a jack to lift the trailer in order to have the flip folder stand to support the trailer. But for the regular trailer jack is OK.

2009 ChevroletSilverado
Curt's front mount hitch reveiver is resonably priced, stoutly made, and finished with what appears to be a solid shiney black powder coating. I especially like the fact that the receiver is positioned just below the front license plate so no modifications are needed to the front fascia, or removal of license plate to utilize. Hitch was shipped in a stout cardboard box, but not much internal padding. This seems to be Curt's standard method, as I also purchased a 34" hitch extension and was packaged similarly. The items are not likely to become damaged in shipping, but a lil more thought and effort could be put into their shipping methods. But for the value and quality you recieve that's a minor issue. Love Curt products!!!

2008 ChevroletSilverado
I have a 2008 Silverado. The Hitch was installed in less than an hour. The pair of bolts that are installed through the frame seem to be slightly short but remember this unit is installed in shear, meaning that the loads applied to this hitch are perpendicular to the bolt, so the nut just needs to hold the bolt in place. You still need to torque to german specs "good n tight" (haha). the bolt will come flush to the nut face. All in all a very simple clean install. Im using this for a Myers Home Plow, which also installed simply.

2007 Chevy 2500 HD
Very well built, good fit and finish and very sturdy. Installed in about 1/2-hour. The "square hole spacer" for the carriage bolt had to be fed through the front of the frame rail (past the tow hook) as it was ever so slightly wider than the hole underneath the frame rail where the instructions show it being fed. I agree that the hex bolts could be about 1/4" to 1/2" longer, but once tightened the bolt is flush with the end of the nut. I'm glad I purchased this as now I can use my 12,000 lb. winch (& winch cradle) on both the front and back of my 2007.5 Chevy 2500HD.

2009 GMC Sierra
This Curt 31109 front hitch went on a 2009 GMC 2500 Sierra crew cab with a Duramax Diesel. Shipping was incredibly fast - just 1 day! The hitch appears well built and nicely finished - and it's made right here in the USA! It fit perfectly and was very easy to install. No trimming of bumper plastic was required. My wife and I are retired and we use this truck to pull a large 5th wheel trailer or carry a truck camper. We will transporting our bicycles on the front hitch. I should have done this earlier.

Bolts that go through frame were 1/4”too short.
Works great!

2008 GMC 2500 HD
Everything went as lined out in the video. I would of liked to of had longer bolts to be able to use locknuts, but went ahead and used the supplied hardware. But everything went smoothly. The only other thing I could suggest is using a little bit longer plate for the carriage bolt, as the frame on my gmc 2500hd was wide enough for the carriage bolt and metal plate to spin. I was able to get it tight enough for it to quit spinning though and get the 110lbs of torque.
All in all a good product and it fits very well.
by: Rocky06/09/2014
Item was as described and installed easily. The bolt that fits thru the frame that holds in the tow hook should be longer in my opinion as I think the bolt should always stick out the nut a certain amount. THe fit was great and the customer suoort is excellent.
by: Alan02/21/2019
2009 ChevroletSilverado
Arrived in one piece, although the packaging could have been better. the box should have been fitted better to the hitch as the hitch had too much room to move around in the box with the box being damaged. Box needed tape to secure the holes punched in the side of the box.

product looks good but the other reviews that i read the two bolts are to short. I had to buy 5 inch bolts to get more than 3 threads tight. This would be an easy fix for you to do.

Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?
- Are Skid Legs Included With The SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow
- In the video you referenced Randy is using the SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow - 84" Wide x 22" Tall # SB324-172. At the 4:45 minute mark he shows you how to lower the skid legs so that you can unhook and slide the snow plow away from your truck for storage, and goes on to say that you can get the optional casters # SB324-126 as well to make it easier. The skid legs will be included with your snow plow kit but the casters will be a separate item.

- Both the SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow, with Electric Actuator # SB324-168 and the SnowBear Personal Snowplow, with Electric Winch # SB324-080 will allow you to easily raise and lower the snowplow, and both come with an in-cab toggle switch, as well as a wireless remote, so that the plow can be controlled from the comfort of your vehicle.
SnowBear markets the plow with the electric winch as a personal/residential winch, and the plow with the actuator for more larger scale plowing needs.

view full answer... - Front Hitch Option for 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500
- Due to the design of the front of your 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500 the only place you'll be able to have a front hitch opening is below the front fascia like where the Curt # 31108 installs. This would be best option we have, but if you really needed something that sits higher you'd probably need to find a fabricator who would be willing to modify the front fascia of your truck and see if they could install one higher.
view full answer... - Curt Front Hitch 31109 Compatibility with Minute Man 2 Snow Plow Mount
- In most cases a front-mount hitch and a snowplow mount will install at the same points on the vehicle frame and usually they will interfere with each other. There could be a certain combination of hitch and plow that might avoid this common-mounting-point issue but it is unlikely since both items need a very strong mounting point on the vehicle in order to function. Makers of aftermarket products do not test their products fits along with other aftermarket items since there are so many
view full answer... - Can a Front Mount Trailer Hitch be Used for a Bike Rack on a 2010 GMC Sierra 2500HD
- It is possible to use a bike rack on a front mount trailer hitch like # 31109, but you will want to consider a few things before doing so. First, it could hinder driver visibility, not much, but there is a chance that the top of the bikes will sit above the hood, so you may not be able to see as much of the road right in front of you. Second, the bikes may block the head lights or other indicating lamps on the truck which could be dangerous.
If you cannot put the bikes in the rear because
view full answer... - Ground Clearance & Angle of Curt Front Mounted Hitch on 2010 Chevy Silverado Super Duty
- For your 2010 Chevy Silverado Super Duty truck, the Curt Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31109 is a confirmed fit. The ground clearance will be dependent on your wheel size and your suspension. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt and confirmed this hitch will be right up against the bumper, so if you measure from the bottom of your bumper 2-3/4 inches, that will be your ground clearance with this hitch.
The receiver will sit level as long as your truck frame is level.
view full answer... - Why Would Curt Hitch 31109 Seem to Be too Narrow to Install on Truck
- Sometimes hitches can get slightly bent during shipping and this can be fixed by bending the hitch back into place as long as the hitch only has a slight bend to it. If yours isn't lining up I can almost guarantee that is what happened. Some people will use open steps for leverage, vices and even car jacks to apply controlled force to bend the hitch back.
You will want to look for flaking paint and physical stress marks on the hitch before and after you attempt to bend the hitch back.

view full answer... - Curt Front Mounted Recevier 31108 vs 31109 Fit on a 2002 Chevy Silverado
- Although the hitches look very similar, the # 31109 is for the 2nd gen 2008 Silverado like your friend's, and the # 31108 if a fit for the 1st gen, like your 2002 model. The two hitches are very similar, but the # 31109 would sit 2 inches lower on your truck than the proper fitting # 31108 would. If losing two inches of ground clearance isn't a deal breaker for you, your buddy's hitch would work fine for you. I've linked you to an install video that you might find helpful.

Fine, except I wish I would have ordered and installed the one that is higher off the ground. I didnt want to cut a hole in the front so I got the one that installed underneath. Its lower than Id like it to be. Ive bumped the ground a few times.
