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.

This little plow has been perfect for a Jeep Wrangler. I used it all winter and it kept the driveway clear, no complaints.



by: John12/20/2023

It would have been nice if the gentleman who sold me my snow plow would have told me that I needed a drop down hitch instead of a straight hitch, which makes a big difference when trying to plow.



by: Jon10/09/2022

For my 2005 Ram 2500 4WD. This product is well made and I am looking forward to using it for a winch that can go on the front or rear of my truck and may get carrying racks, etc. I believe the product I received was damaged in shipping. The span between the flanges that bolt to the sides of the truck frame was about an inch narrower than the distance to the outsides of the truck frame where the hitch fastens to the vehicle. One of the flanges was badly out of square. I widened the gap by placing the flange in a vise and pulling on the end of the hitch till it was closer to square. Then I used a large crescent wrench to tweak both sides till the dang thing would go on. Then I still had to use a pretty big hammer to wack it into place. Also, this installation was very difficult for me to do alone on the ground. A buddy and a lift would have made this much easier. The included fish wires were super effective and high quality; once the bolts are in place just thread the wire through the mounting holes in the hitch as you lift it into place. Went much easier than I expected. Instructions say use a hole saw, I used a step drill bit and that worked well, except for the small burns I got from hot chips raining down



by: Bill11/17/2023

The plow works ok. It's easy enough to get on and off the vehicle. Fatal flaw is the winch strap. I have replaced 3 times in one winter of plowing. If you purchase this product be sure to order extra winch straps!

Works well for the price.

My particular model of vehicle (03 Dodge 2500 pickup) was a very easy install. I am very happy with the Curt Front Hitch. Now I can easily mount my winch, bicycle rack and a cargo hitch to the front of my truck.

Quality product that is low profile and fits the truck nicely. On my '03 Dodge Ram 2500, I was able to retain my Banks Ram Air intake that mounts below it!

Awsome product. We needed it to maneuver our trailer into a very tight space alongside our garage. It does the trick ever time.



by: Stuart09/10/2022

Great hitch. Did take longer than expected to install but not a big problem. The hitch fits well on my truck.



by: Doug 02/02/2021

Great unit. Well made and fit nicely.
Only
reason it did not get 5 stars is the instructions are a bit vague. Be prepared to spend some time drilling larger than expected holes to get the bolts in place.
Nice piece at a very fair price overall.

Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?


  • Does SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2 Hitches # SB324-080 Come with Winch
  • The SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 that you referenced does come with a winch to allow it to raise and lower. There really isn't a good way to remove the winch to use it it in other applications.

  • How to Determine if the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 Would Block Headlights
  • The blade height of the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 that you referenced is 19 inches. Most likely your headlights will sit higher than this, but if you measure from the ground up 19 inches then you would know where the top of the blade would sit and whether or not the headlights would be blocked.

  • What Parts do I Need to Mount the SnowBear Plow # SB324-080 to My 2022 Jeep Wrangler?
  • I have an answer for you to connect the Snowbear # SB324-080 to your 2022 Jeep Wrangler. In the video you are referring to for the Curt Front Hitch - 2" # C31086, that shows the installation of the hitch on a 2018 Wrangler. While we do not have the ground clearance height of the hitch installed on a 2022 model, it most likely differs within a couple inches. Also, since the receiver tube measures 2 inches from inside the top tube to the inside of the bottom tube, the ground clearance is

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch for Attaching Snow Plow to 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • We do indeed offer a front mounted hitch for your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. You'll need the Curt # C31048. Once the front mount receiver is in place, you'll have the mounting point for a snow plow like the SnowBear # SB324-080. If you click the provided link, you can see the installation instructions for the hitch and the plow.

  • Correct Replacement Winch for SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 82" Wide x 19" Tall
  • The correct replacement winch for the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 82" Wide x 19" Tall part # SB324-080 is the Replacement Single Speed Electric Winch part # SB263-282. There is not individual replacement parts for the winch unfortunately.

  • Where Does Curt Hitch Tube Opening Sit on 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee When Installed
  • I was able to find a better picture that shows where the hitch opening of the Curt front hitch part # C31048 will be when installed on a similar Jeep Grand Cherokee as your 2002 model that I attached to this page. It basically just sits right below the front bumper. I also lightened up the picture you mentioned so that you can see where it's at on that picture as well.

  • Parts Needed to Mount Snow Plow to 2010 Ram 3500
  • The personal snowplows from SnowBear simply mount to a hitch receiver so to add one to your 2010 Ram 3500 you'll need the Curt # C31065. If you have the Winter Wolf edition that requires vehicle-specific mounting brackets then we'll either need to find you a different setup or you'll have to have a shop fabricate some mounts as SnowBear doesn't have any custom mounts for a 3500 Ram pickup. For the personal snowplow from SnowBear you'll need that Curt Front Hitch # C31065 and SnowBear

  • Recommended Snow Plow For A 1994 Jeep Wrangler
  • I can definitely point you in the right direction. If you are looking for a hitch mount plow we have the # SB324-080 from SnowBear. This is a 82" x 19" steel blade plow that has 9" of height adjustment. It uses an in-cab switch and also comes with a wireless remote control. Please note that the bottom of your receiver tube must be at least 13" from the ground in order to use this plow. We also offer the Detail K2 elite series plows for your 1994 Wrangler. I recommend the # K2RAMP8219ELT

  • Snow Plow For 2003 Ford Ranger

  • Snow Plow for a 2005 Honda Pilot
  • We have a plow for your 2005 Honda Pilot, but the Winter Wolf will not work. The 2005 Pilot is only compatible with front-mounted hitches. To use a plow on the Pilot, you will need the Snow Plow Personal, part # SB324-080, and the hitch for your vehicle, part # 33328. This particular plow is 82" wide and 19" tall.

  • Snow Bear Plow Recommendation for 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  • You may not be able to use the Snowbear plot part # SB324-080 on the highway but you could still transport it in your front hitch to your other driveway as long as the plow was up off the pavement. You'd also need the front hitch part # 33328 installed on your 2008 Honda Ridgeline.

  • Front Hitch Plow Recommendation for 2004 Jeep Cherokee with 2 inch Hitch
  • For your 2004 Jeep Cherokee that has a 2 inch front hitch installed the SnowBear Personal SnowPlow part # SB324-080 would be a great option. This plow is 82 inches wide which is a good size for your vehicle and comes with everything needed to allow you to control it from inside the cab of your vehicle.

  • Is Bumper Modification Required to Install a Front Mount Hitch on a 2003 Dodge Durango
  • We have front mount trailer hitches available for the 2003 Dodge Durango as long as it is a 4WD model. At this time there are no front mount hitches available for the 2WD models. If you have a 4WD model, then I recommend installing the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31080. This has the highest vertical pull rating of our front mount hitches and it does not require any bumper modifications. The receiver will sit just below the front bumper fascia. I have attached the installation instructions

  • Snow Plow Recommendation for a 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  • Actually SnowBear does not list a max height range for their snow plows like the part # SB324-080. Since you have a 2 inch front hitch installed on your 2002 Jeep Wrangler it should work well for you. I attached a review video for this plow for you to check out as well.

  • Can Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch 65080 Mount Snow Plow
  • Yes, you can absolutely mount a snow plow like the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 you referenced on the Draw-Tite front-mounted hitch you asked about: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080 This hitch, which fits 2007 and up Toyota Tundras and Sequoias, meets the necessary standards and has a 500 lb vertical load limit (which is like tongue weight for a front-mount hitch), and the SnowBear weighs 315 lbs, so it has more than the necessary capacity.

  • Does the SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB32408031114 Have to be Manually Adjusted?
  • Yes, you will have to manually adjust the blade on the # SB324-080 to set the position to the left, right, or center. It features a manual release handle that is easily accessible from front or back of the plow. It does use an electric winch to allow you to automatically raise or lower the plow from inside your vehicle.

  • Replacement Spring for SnowBear 324-080 Snow Plot
  • I have a solution for you, but the tension springs for a SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches - Electric Winch - 82" Wide x 19" Tall # SB324-080 are not sold individually. However, the Replacement Spring Kit for SnowBear Snowplows # SB600-128 comes with 2 springs and the hardware needed to repair the plow, so you would be able to replace your lost spring and still have an extra spring on hand in the event of a future loss or break.

  • Recommended Snowplow for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler
  • It sounds like you're looking for a snowplow setup for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler and if that's the case we have some great options. I recommend the SnowBear Personal Snowplow part # SB324-080 with Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31086. The SnowBear plow has an 82" wide blade with electric winch that allows you to control it from inside the vehicle. The 2" hitch mount will make it easier to get the plow on and off the vehicle. We do not carry ACI plows unfortunately.

  • Are The Mounting Brackets The Same For DK2 And Snowbear Snowplows On 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • The Snowbear and DK2 snowplows require different mounting brackets. For example, in order to mount the Detail K2 Summit II Snowplow # K2SUMM8826 you would need Custom Mounting Brackets # K284121. You could, however, install Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C31022 which could accommodate various snowplows from both brands. The Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8219 and SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB324-080 would both would fit this 2" receiver.

  • Differences Between Curt C31017 and Draw-Tite 65046 on 2007 Dodge Ram Truck
  • There's a few differences. • The Curt # C31017 is manufactured in the US, while the Draw-Tite # 65046 is manufactured in Mexico. • When installed, the Curt hitch will sit higher on the vehicle for more ground clearance. The underside of the receiver tube will sit even with the bottom of the fascia under the bumper. The fascia will need to be notched so the receiver can pass through it.

  • Comparing Curt & Draw-Tite Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65046 and Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31017 that fit your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 are very similar in the mounting location. The main difference that I see is where the cross tube and receiver come together. The cross tube on the Curt is cut and the receiver passes through it. While the Draw-Tite receiver is welded to the bottom of the cross tube. Not having that cut in the cross tube will make it stronger which is why I would

  • The recommended front hitch for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 is the Curt Hitch # C31017. It has never been tested with the Banks Super Scoop so it would be hard for me to say for certain. The best option I could recommend for you would be to check out the installation instructions I attached to the right and compare them to how the Super Scoop installs to see if they would be compatible.

  • Location of Curt Front Hitch Receiver For Fitment on a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500
  • I've answered a similar question on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31017 in the past. In that question they wanted to know the distance from the frame of the vehicle to the top of the crosstube which I found to be 1-5/8" (see attached). Since this is a 2" receiver we just need to add 1" to that total (making it 2-5/8") to determine where the center of the hitch receiver will be located in regards to your truck frame.

  • Which Front Mount Receiver for 2007 Ram 3500 Will Not Require Bumper Fascia Trimming
  • Your perception is correct. The Curt # C31017 would install so that the top of the receiver tube sits about 1.63 inches (about 1-5/8) below the underside of the frame member of the truck. This means that if your truck has the rubber or plastic fascia, you'll need to notch it. This hitch is NOT compatible with Laramie models. The same dimension for the Draw-Tite # 65046 is 4-1/2 inches, which should place the top of the receiver tube against the underside of the fascia under the bumper,

  • Total Drop of Curt Front Mounted Receiver # C31017
  • I contacted my Curt Manufacturing rep, who tells me the total drop of their # C31017 is 4-1/4 inches. The drop is the distance from the top surface of the mounting flange that would sit flat against the underside of the frame members to the lowest point of the receiver tube. So, if you'd measure downward from the underside of your frame member by 4-1/4 inches, you'll have a very good idea of where the lowest point of the hitch would sit. I've edited a photo that shows this distance. Hitch

  • The hole dimensions between the two hitches are very similar but not exactly that same. The difference between where the holes would be drilled on either hitch will be different by .11 of an inch. I confirmed this with my contacts at both Curt and Draw Tite. From the center of the vertical bracket hole back to the center of the horizontal hole on the Curt measures 5.64 inches and on the Draw Tite it measures 5.75 inches. Basically it will work but you potentially will have to enlarge

  • Yes, you may have to trim the plastic fascia that is attached beneath the front bumper on your Dodge Ram pickup for installation of the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # C31017. It will depend on which model and trim package your pickup is. The trimmed area will be hidden once the hitch is installed. I attached installation instructions for you to review.
