Snowplow Installation

Push Frame

Installation is quick and simple - just slide included shank assembly into your 2" receiver and secure with pin.





Snap Pins

Then lift the blade, one end at a time, onto the frame's holders and fasten with snap pins.





Plow blade showing 3-point directions

The SnowSport HD blade is mounted on an angled, 3-position shank assembly, allowing you to plow to the left, to the right or straight ahead.



How to Plow

Plow

To plow, lower the blade and begin driving; no wiring or hydraulics are needed. The unique push frame on the shank assembly allows the blade to move along the grade of the terrain for easier, more efficient plowing. The heavy-duty rubber cutting edge is effective yet turf friendly, collecting snow and squeegeeing slush without digging into the ground.


Reverse

When you reverse direction, the blade lies back, skimming over the surface of the ground so that you can easily take another pass.


Backing Up

Once you're finished plowing, just lift the blade and refasten into the travel position. The blade is secure enough to travel at highway speeds, and the low-profile design keeps it from blocking your vehicle's headlights. Removal for storage is quick and easy. The plow can be used on the rear of your vehicle, making it a cinch to back out of your snow-packed driveway.

Video Transcript for Agri-Cover SnowSport HD Utility Snowplow Manufacturer Demo

(upbeat rock music) (upbeat rock music continues) Narrator This video is to be used in conjunction with your owner's manual to help you with the assembly and mounting of your new SnowSport HD Plow. You will need a receiver plow mount hitch installed on your vehicle before starting the plow assembly. Follow the written instructions for the mount kit for your particular model of truck. Next, you will want to gather the tools shown on the list: torque wrench, impact or ratchet with 9/16-inch and 3/4-inch socket, drill with 3/16-inch and 5/16-inch drill bits, number 3 Philips driver bit, 3/4-inch box wrench, 5/16-inch open end wrench, 3/16-inch Allen wrench, bubble level, and protective eyewear. Make sure your vehicle is parked on a level grade and you're ready to get started. Step 1.

Insert interceptor into receiver and secure with the hitch pin. The interceptor can be installed with the big leg turned either up or down as needed for proper push frame clearance, shown turned up in this video. Bolt the push frame to the proper hole pattern on the interceptor using 4 half-inch by four-inch bolts with flat washers and lock nuts. Leave bolts snug tight for now. Step 2.

With the bolts snug tight, level the push frame horizontally, then check push frame for vertical plum. If plum, tighten all four bolts and proceed. If not plum, refer to the shimming procedure in step number 2 of your owner's manual. Step 3. Align the end of the rubber edge with the matching channel of the bottom section of the aluminum blade.

Slide the rubber edge into the channel until it's centered on the aluminum blade. Take the top half of the blade and connect the tongue-n-groove joint with the bottom half. Slide the top section until it's centered on the bottom section. Step 4. At each end of the blade, insert two square nuts into each channel, flat side facing out.

These nuts will be aligned with the holes at the top and bottom of the slide hinges. Place each slide hinge on the blade and align the edge of the hinge with a factory mark on the blade. When both hinges are properly aligned, they should measure 22 1/2 inches apart. Turn the 3/8-inch by 3/4-inch hex bolts with flat washers into the nuts that we're previously slid into the channels on both the top section of the blade and the bottom section of the blade. Double check to make sure each slide hinge is lined up with the factory mark. Then, tighten the hex bolts on the top section first, then tighten the hex bolts on the bottom section. Using a 5/16-inch bit, drill a hole through the blade in each factory punched hole on the slide hinge. Turn a 3/8-inch by 1-inch self-threading bolt into each drilled down hole and tighten. Step 5. At the tongue-n-groove joint, drill a 5/16-inch pilot hole at the factory mark in the v-groove at each end of the blade. For a 96-inch wide blade, there will be an extra hole drilled, and bolt installed per side. See step number 6 in your owner's manual. Turn a 3/8-inch by 1-inch self-threading bolt into each pilot hole and tighten. Using a torque wrench, tighten all six bolts in each slide hinge to 31 foot pounds. Step 6. At the bottom of the blade, double check that the rubber edge is centered. Then using a 3/16-inch bit, drill a pilot hole at each of the four factory marks in the v-groove. Be sure to only drill through the first layer of aluminum and into the rubber. Using a number 3 Philips bit, run a self-drilling screw into each of the four pilot holes. This prevents the rubber-cutting edge from moving. Step 7. Now, hang the blade on the push frame in the transport position and insert the keyhole pins. Insert two square nuts into the top channel. With a hex nut turned onto the stud of the blade marker, align the blade marker with the hole on the lift handle and bolt the marker and handle to the blade using one of the square nuts in the channel. Turn a 3/8-inch by 3/4-inch bolt into the other hole on the handle and thread it into the second nut that was slid into the channel. With the handle flushed with the blade edge, tighten both bolts connecting the lift handle to the blade. Repeat at the other end. Step 8. Attach the rubber box end to the blade using the metal cap plate and four 3/8-inch by 2 1/2-inch self-threading bolts. Tighten these bolts until the rubber end begins to compress to the blade. Insert a fifth bolt to tighten the bottom of the rubber end to the bottom of the metal cap plate. Secure this bolt with a flat washer and lock nut, tighten all bolts equally, and repeat at the other end. The installation of the plow is now complete, and your plow is ready for the winter season.

Install went perfectly. It all bolted up just how the instructions said it would. The hardest part was navigating your tools in the tight spaces. Having the deep sockets as suggested is definitely worth it. I was also able to utilize a cordless impact wrench and it helped a ton. This will work great for our bike rack.

Love it. It is secure and discrete and is great for a bike rack. Be cautious of what you hang up front, bikes or other types of racks might disrupt airflow into the radiator, which was expected, just keep an eye on temperature. The bolt up was secure and relatively easy.

Great front receiver hitch for my Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. Everything fit using OE bolts and nuts. Only the plastic trim had to be cut out to fit receiver. I had dealer do it, but would have done it myself when I was younger. etrailer is easy to order from and has good customer service.

Overall, my experience with etrailer was good. There was an initial delay in shipping, but once I talked to someone, everything went well. The help page was invaluable. The biggest help was the installation video. While there are slight differences between the 2011 GMC and the 2013, the process was the same. I am very pleased with the product and the support. Picture attached.

This thing went on our 2013 Silverado 1ton truck without a problem. It did take two of us to hold it in
Place to get the first bolt back in but other than that it’s been flawless

Great product...I carry bicycles on the front of truck while towing a camper. Can also carry a cargo basket or winch on the front. Love it!

Installed this hitch this morning 10/06/19. Was going to wait for help as arthritis in hands makes turn wrenches a chore but was bored so went ahead anyhow. This is my second front hitch install , first one on 2018 F-150. Today’s install on 2014 duramax 2500. Today’s install was super simple , used floor jack to hold hitch up in position, you need to remove four bolts on each side , I did try air tools on the 21mm bolts but not powerful enough so used small piece of copper pipe over wrench handle for leverage to loosen, air tools were able to loosen the six 18mm bolts , took me about an hour and a half by myself. The fit of the hitch was absolutely perfect! Had to cut a small piece of the air dam at bottom of bumper, used a hacksaw, very easy. The quality and coating on the hitch is top notch.

Excellent fit & function delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Although this shot is at our current campground in NJ, the hitch will be used to park my boat in its hard-to-get-to parking spot. Great job, Etrailer!

I use a motorcycle carrier on the front for my 125 scooter while pulling my fifth wheel. It is very secure and the finish has held up fine. I would recommend this purchase.



by: Brown09/18/2023

Perfect fit for my 2012 GMC 3500. Directions are excellent. It is a tight work space for some of the bolts. I've carried a bike rack with 130 lbs of ebikes for 600 miles so far and no problems.



by: Jerry B04/14/2017

As always, delivery was quick. Hitch was easy to install and works nice. We do a lot of camping and since very few of the travel trailer manufacturers recommend a trailer hitch (some will tell you it voids your warranty), we can carry our bikes up front with this hitch.

Snowsport PlowEtrailer.com does it right from start to finish. On top of having a great web site, the staff are the best.
Keeping in mind, I ordered this in December, about 5 days before our first big snow, here in Ohio. Within an hour of ordering my SnowSport HD plow, I was upgraded to special priority shipping, that was a nice surprise! The plow arrived in about two days, in three boxes, as I ordered the front hitch at the same time. I feel bad for my UPS carrier, these boxes were not for the faint of heart. The assembly went smoothly, the manufacturer uses high end parts and everything is well marked and the instructions are easy to follow. I estimate it took me two hours to get everything put together, with a coffee break in between. I am impressed with the construction, wow. Heavy duty is right!
We had four inches of snow yesterday. I opened the garage door and went to work, two pushes to clear the parking spots, and one easy push down the two hundred foot gravel driveway. Like butter.
I was done. It took less then 15 minutes. I put this blade on my 2003 rear wheel drive, not 4x4, Chevy Blazer. I backed into the garage and it looked like I had just put the blade on, this blade could last a long time. I love it. I cant wait until we get a foot or more of snow, my wife wants to plow next time. Plus I have cable chains comming from Etrailer, they should be here any day. Just in case my two wheel drive has tracktion problems in the deeper snow. Thanks a bunch, Etrailer!

2011 Honda Ridgeline

We installed this on our 2011 Honda Ridgeline and a week later it snowed... And snowed.... And snowed.. 5 feet in 24 hours ( we live on the lake near Buffalo) and it's still snowing... This wasn't good, it was AWESOME! It was an easy install and assembly and worked absolutely perfect! We have a tough driveway and this kept it clear with no issues, no problems and we used it all day and night! When you spend that much on something you've never even seen before you can have reservations... It's worth every penny. It's solid ( more than we thought it would be) and does the job with ease. No .. It's good, but...... It's exactly as advertised and etrailer not only had the best price, the communication with my order was exceptional. Now... If only the town could send a plow down my street.....

I had a few hiccups while assembling (over tightening things early, I think) but once I got it together it’s been awesome. Clears easily and efficiently. Have used to clear as much as 14” of snow (that required pushing off to the side more often) but once you get used to the technique this thing is a lifesaver. I can clear a 300’ long driveway in 15 minutes or so for an average 4-5” snowfall.



by: C.09/24/2020

I ordered a front hitch mount for our RV. Product is very heavy duty and priced right! I ordered on a Friday afternoon and had my part by Tuesday, very impressed. Will surely use this company in the future.

The hitch mount has worked great. Knowing it was machined for pick up trucks, I had no problem installing on a Freightliner chassis. Had to drill a few holes and fabricated a additional brace out of some angle iron for added piece of mind. I have no concerns about the sturdiness and integrity when using this mount.



by: Ed C08/05/2019

Installed on my 2012 Silverado 2500HD and it fit perfectly and was very easy to install. Cut my lower cowling to allow the hitch to protrude and it looks awesome! Very glad I purchased your product and would highly recommend to everyone!!

by: William07/24/2018

very sturdy product; installation was straight forward exactly as instructions indicated. I had planned to haul motorcycle on this front mount hitch with a carrier meant for a rear receive hitch. While i have not done so yet (lighting issues i need to resolve), this receiver will do the job. I also plan on picking up a receiver mount for a winch which could come in handy. Shipping was fast from etrailer. Overall great product and great service! I got just what I expected from the description.



by: Dave T.09/20/2015

Exact fit. Took less than 30 minutes to install in my shop and used all of the factory attaching hardware. If your truck is equipped with the second lower plastic deflector, approximately 3" long, you'll need to trim a 2 3/4" square out dead center for the tube to clear. I've installed several RV accessories over the years and I want to thank you for taking the time to get the fit correct. Time is money and your product is spot on. I would recommend this to anyone looking to install a hitch to the front of their truck for a bike rack or to make moving a trailer around in a crowded yard a breeze.

Ford Edge

It does what it's supposed to do, puts the snow from my driveways into piles not on my driveways. Got it over some of the other variations because it doesn't have electronics or wiring to break when its -30.

-Cutting edge that came with mine has been decently strong for running on gravel driveways.
-Light enough I can mount/unmount whenever I need to.
-Doesn't tear up lawns, which is where I have to push most of the snow I move.

--Needs a through eyebolt for quick connect back dragging rather than the ratchet strap idea they sell.
--Side panels are the weak link of the system
they cut in hard and make the plow jumpy while turning
the nubs on the back are also not deep enough to allow the plow to free stand when storing
and as hard as they are they get jammed right up with any sort of twig/leaf debris you might be plowing up
---I'll be replacing these with some sort of steel or aluminum panel with a tubing edge once they start to fail.
-- The sliding parts aren't powder coated so they'll need to be repainted every year or two or its going to rust right out.

Overall though it does what I wanted it to do, and paid for itself by saving me a lot of hours not having to shovel or snowblow. And even if my vehicle were ever to go down I could toss it on the back of another vehicle to get the snow moved.

  • Will the Curt Front Mount Trailer hitch 31023 Fit a 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt who told me that front mount hitch # C31023 will fit the 2014 GMC Sierra Denali but because of the differences in the front fascia/bumper and air dam there may be some trimming required to get the hitch to fit. Once installed the receiver will exit below the front license plate. I have linked a video showing a typical installation for you.

  • Front Hitch and Bike Rack for Front of 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • For a front hitch for your 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 the Curt hitch part # C31023 is a confirmed fit and would work great for mounting a bike rack like the Swagman XC2 part # S64650 that you referenced. In this price range for a bike rack I like to recommend the Hollywood Racks # HR200Z as it costs about the same and is much more stable on the road. If you check out the test course videos I attached you'll see how they both compare.

  • Will Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch 31023 Fit a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali
  • The Curt front mount receiver # C31023 is listed as a fit for the 2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD. Denali models are not excluded. Installation will be nearly identical on a 2013 as in the video for the 2011. I have linked the video for reference. Even on Denali models, the front fascia trimming should be minimal. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

  • Front Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  • The most popular front hitch we offer for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD is the Curt hitch part # C31023. Tech tips for this hitch are that the tow loops will need to be removed and reattached for hitch installation. Front bumper bolts will also be removed and reinstalled. Since this has more reviews than the other hitch we offer for your vehicle and they are higher as well I would recommend this hitch for you. I attached an install video for this hitch on a very similar 2011 GMC Sierra

  • Will Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch 31023 Fit a 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 2500
  • The Curt front mount trailer hitch # C31023 does not exclude the Denali models of the 2011 GMC Sierra. However, because of the different front fascia on Denali models you may need to do some extensive trimming to install the hitch. On non-Denali models you would only need to trim a small area, see the instructions I have linked, but on a Denali model, more of the fascia structure would require trimming to fit. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
