This Generation III Classic Personal snowplow is the most recent innovation from SnowBear. This plow conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch (sold separately) for easy, convenient mounting. It has a remote-controlled electric winch that will let you raise and lower the plow without leaving the warmth and comfort of your cab. 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

HITCH MOUNTING

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 Personal 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 Personal snowplow.


When you are finished, put your vehicle in park and lower the plow. Remove the plow from your vehicle after every use.


Easy Lifting with Electric Winch

WINCH

The electric winch on this plow allows you to easily lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. The winch uses a durable nylon strap, which is much quieter than a chain, to raise and lower the plow.

I've purchased and installed many hitch products for various vehicles over the years and often installations were difficult as the design and instructions did not recognize or make provision for obstructions caused by other components on the vehicle. So I was very pleasantly surprised with the fast and easy installation of this unit. The "fish wire" worked perfectly - the entire installation was complete in an hour. The quality and fit surpassed my expectations - especially considering the low price and prompt delivery. Absolutely will buy and recommend exclusively Curt products in the future. I know this endorsement may sound to good to be believed - but trust me - these folks do their homework and deserve your patronage. AMERICAN MADE TOO ! 2005 GMC Envoy

Thanks for the follow up and reply I did want to remind you to make sure that the weight of your scooter and your hitch are within the vehicle capacities, and traveling safefly according to local regulations regarding visibility etc.

Very easy installation with the hardware that is included. The spring bolt pullers work excellent.since install I have used it for a Snowsport snow plow with no issues at all. The fitment of unit was precise.

Arrived in two days just as promised where another supplier was stating 2-3 months delivery. Instillation was fairly easy, the fish wire helps tremendously, and I installed it by myself in just over an hour. I was worried that It would not fit with my existing bull bar but it came out great with just a couple of cuts in the skid plate. it looks good and now I have a good strong recovery point for the front.

Better than a snowblower!! Made very well, had it put together and mounted in a couple hours. Used it for two small snowfalls and it worked as expected. Great customer service from etrailer!



by: Mark 01/23/2024

This is a nice hitch that was very easy to install. Unfortunately, the vehicle was stolen before we could use it to plow snow.

2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I bought a Snow bear personal plow and a separate Curt receiver hitch for the front of my 2012 F250.. after speaking with Erica W. several times due to blunders on my part, all was perfect. Quick delivery, price was right, items are super rugged. The stock photos don't do justice. My plow came in at 350 pounds without the receiver hitch. It's not a cheap toy plow. Get one, they'll fit nearly anything! Thanks Erica!!

When I opened, I asked to myself: "How I will install this?", but eventually I saw all the instructions and a great help was a you tube video, took to me about an hour to install this, that was fast considering that I never did this before, please consider to buy a torque meter to be sure you tide it well. My plan is to carry a dirt bike to FL.

Thanks for your review and your business, Carlos. Often, local auto parts stores will rent torque wrenches so you may safely install your hitch. I hope this helps!

by: Ken10/02/2018

I launch my boat from a boat ramp on my property using the front hitch. Actually my wife launches the boat while I am in it. She cannot back a vehicle with a boat and trailer, but she easily puts the boat in the water using a front hitch.

2017 Chevrolet Suburban

This is my 3rd receiver that I have installed and it fit perfectly. My first, a front reciever on an 05 Suburban went real smooth. My 2nd, a rear hitch on a 17 Elantra was even easier. My latest, a front receiver on an 03 GMC Envoy wasn't as easy. This was due to getting my hands up to the access holes as well as having to work the hitch up and around the sway bar. Took me about 2 Hours, but finally got it in place. Once past the sway bar it moved right into place and bolted up fine. Would definitely purchase from E-Trailer again, as the fit is perfect. Shipping was unbelievably fast on each of my 3 orders.

i bought this hitch receiver to help mount a winch to the front of my Chevy SUV. i travel on many rough, rocky, muddy and snowy roads and get stuck frequently almost always when there is no help available. Now, with the winch in place I can count on getting myself out of trouble when the time comes.



by: Dave D.02/11/2009

Great ProductVery handy for moving my two trailers around and hitch is out of site when not in use,Installation was fairly easy.You will have to remove the two front bolts if there is a plate over your oildrain plug in order to access the frame opening.

Ask the Experts about this Snow Plow
Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?


  • Solution for SnowBear Snow Plow that Wobbles When Raised Up While Traveling
  • I spoke with SnowBear about the issue you described and they said it sounds like you aren't using the safety chain that came with the plow which was designed for removing the play you are describing. There's more info on it on pages 13 and 14 in the manual of the plow. Secondly, vehicles with plows connected should NOT travel on roadways without the safety chain installed, as this may result in serious damage to the roadway, plow and vehicle and may cause serious injury to the operator.

  • Snowbear Plow Receiver Hitch vs Custom Mount
  • The biggest difference I have seen between the two style is in the amount of play they have side to side. While it isn't a ton there is more play in the single connection point than what you will get out of the custom frame bracket types. We carry both types here but given the choice I would go with the custom bracket version. If you plan on moving it from one vehicle to another from time to time then the hitch mount is the way to go for ease of use. There is a great option with custom

  • Wiring for SnowBear Personal Snow Plow
  • According to the control box wiring diagram (see attached) 2 of the wires for the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-081 go to the electric winch and 2 of them go to the battery. The only other thing that you might have is a switch for light accessories but the black wires for that setup go to ground. If none of this matches what you have then go ahead and send me a photo and/or a part number for the box you are looking at and I can see if there is anything else I can find out.

  • Does Snowbear Plow Come With Front Mounted Hitch?
  • The SnowBear Personal Snowplow, # SB324-081, does not come with a front-mounted hitch, but there is an option available for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler. I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 31432, which is a two-inch hitch that bolts on and is a is custom-fit for Wranglers. The SnowBear offers accessories which are designed to make things easier on you, such as the Lighting Kit, # SB324-127, which mounts to the frame of the plow and simply wires to your Jeep's battery.

  • Is there a Video that Shows How to Perform the Fishwire Technique to Install a Trailer Hitch
  • The CURT Front Mount Receiver, # 31055, does bolt to the vehicle frame rails but the bolts do not go all the way through each frame rail. Instead, like you have said, you will fishwire the hardware into the inside of each frame rail through access holes in the frame. The fishwire technique is not as difficult as you might think. Even though I do not have a video showing the hitch being installed on a 2006 GMC Envoy, I can provide a link that explains and shows how to fishwire hardware.
