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. Being just 39" away from the bumper, the Proshovel snowplow has a compact yet strong and sturdy design.


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 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, 11 degrees to the left or to the right, 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

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.


Add-On Accessories

SnowBear offers a plethora of helpful accessories to make plowing even safer and easier. Along with the available accessories to enhance your snowplowing experience, many parts of the SnowBear Proshovel snowplow are available separately, so you can replace worn-out pieces without having to replace the whole plow.


LIGHT KIT

The off-road halogen light kit (SB324-127) may be necessary if your plow blocks your vehicle's headlights. This kit will light up the way when you're plowing at night or in the early morning. The light kit mounts directly to your plow frame and offers increased visibility when plowing in dark conditions. The 2 bright halogen lights make it easier for you to see where you are going and for others to see you.


CASTER KIT

With the caster kit (SB324-126), it will be a breeze to move and store the Proshovel snowplow when it's not in use. These wheels mount directly behind the blade and they can be easily folded down for use and up for storage. In addition, these wheels will not weigh the plow down.


DROP KIT

The drop extension kit (SB324-128) allows you to use your SnowBear snowplow on your lifted vehicle. With 6" of drop, this bolt-on kit ensures that the plow makes proper contact with the ground. Its sturdy steel construction is just as strong and durable as the plow itself.


POLYBLADE

If you are worried about causing damage to your lawn or pathway, the poly scraper attachment (SB324-070) is perfect for replacing the harsh, steel scraper on the Proshovel. The polymer construction is strong enough to still help plow efficiently, but gentle enough to not hurt your lawn or pathway.

2019 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. Installed it myself but a helper would have made it easier. Instruction say to remove and discard the lower engine shroud before mounting. I chose to do surgery on the shroud to fit the attachment points and put it back in. This made the install harder (less finger room) but the result in very nice. I measured clearance before and after at the lowest part of the engine. Putting this on reduced overall clearance 1 inch. It changed angle of attack significantly. Here's what you should think about...Is this a vehicle for serious 4 wheeling in? Then don't do this. And buy a different truck with greater ground clearance. If, like me, you pull a small trailer on paved and gravel roads, and you want to put bikes on the front, this will work great. See pictures attached.

Love my Ridgeline. But the only hard point in the front is buried deep under the engine. This provides three rescue points and a way to mount a winch or whatever with a 2” hitch mount. Here is the good and bad. Etrailer.com was perfect. Fast shipping, good communication.five stars. The quality and value of the hitch is top notch. Holes lined up perfectly. All hardware was provided and high quality. Now the less than ideal. The hardest part of the installation was getting the rivnuts set. They wanted to spin in the holes. I had to rig a little tool out of a long eyebolt, screw it into the rivnut and run a nut up against the mount with a fair amount of muscle to expand the anchor. The other quip I have is that the hitch is very low. If I I mount a bike rack or something I’ll have to add a riser. The hitch comes out under the bumper and Honda didn’t go for maximum clearance. Ideally a hitch would come out though the bumper at a more appropriate height. But that would require a great deal of modification to the truck. I can’t fault the seller or the hitch manufacturer for these issues. Rivnuts are just work to set without the specialized tool and Honda gave us a pretty low front end. Moreover I am happy with the upgrade and feel better having a way to mount loads up front or attach a rescue strap.

Received the hitch a couple days late due to UPS issues. Followed the instructions which were fairly easy to follow. The pictures were a bit dark and difficult to view but I was able to figure what to do once I got underneath and compared the hitch alignment to the corresponding bolts. I did place my truck on ramps but still a little uncomfortable laying on my back and doing the work. Used a lift to position the hitch which was a little precarious. I didn’t have any help which would have been nicel. I struggled with the last of the bolts to screw in properly so had to loosen others and work a pry bar to get it to thread properly. Finally all bolts threaded well and able to tighten securely. Thought about refabing the plastic shield instead of discarding it, which maybe was possible, but didn’t have the energy.
I am using the hitch for a Snowsport HD plow on a j2019 Honda Ridgeline. The minimum height required for the plow is 8”. The height at the angling interceptor is just above 8 “ and 10” at the bottom of the push bar. Will use the plow tomorrow to see how it works and if any adjustments are necessary. If there is a height issue I will use a receiver extension 2” drop/rise if necessary. I have about 2000 ft of drive/ road to plow and this plow should do the job.
I’m very happy with the fit and finish of this hitch.

Just installed today with my brothers help. Great instructions/ photos. Did take about 2 hours start to finish, not the 1 hour suggested. Otherwise no issues.



by: Tom 09/26/2021

Fair pricing and GREAT SERVICE. In the period of who has the lowest price, to me, service and product knowledge should be winning more business. I will spend more for the service levels companies like etrailer provide.

This is my 10th purchase of hitches for me, my family and friends. I will buy more!

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.



by: Mark12/27/2018

Overall it's a good light duty plow, works like it's supposed to, clears the snow with no problems. Originally purchased the plow with the hitch receiver mount, But the plow stuck out quite a bit in my opinion plus there was to much wobble. So I converted to the 2 point mount which brought the plow in closer and a lot less wobble.
There was an issue with the actuator, it would work intermittently when lowering the plow but Snow Bear covered it under warranty and sent me a new one.
My only gripe is that only after 3 months of Winter use, the whole plow was showing a lot of surface rust and the paint was peeling.



by: Mark01/02/2019

Overall it is a good setup, does the job it's suppose to. Had one problem with the actuator intermittently working when lowering the plow, but was replaced under warranty.
Originally purchased to use in a front mounted hitch receiver, but switched to the two point hookup which brought the plow in closer to the vehicle and made it a little more stable.
My only problem was after 3 months of winter use, paint was peeling and a lot of surface rust showing.

  • Vehicle Modifications Necessary to Install Curt C31082 Front Hitch on 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • According to Curt in order to install the Curt # C31082 front receiver on your Ridgeline, there is a splash guard that's just to the rear of the valance under the bumper that needs to be removed and will not be reinstalled. The two rear-most hitch mounting holes in the crossmember will need to be enlarged to 11/16, but those are the only modifications that will need to be completed in order to install the hitch. You can see the splash guard that will be removed in the photo I provided.

  • Recommended Front Hitch for a 2018 Honda Ridgeline
  • That does sound correct if you are talking about a rear hitch. I am sorry but no one makes an aftermarket rear hitch for a 2018 Honda Ridgeline so you're going to have to go through Honda. If you are wanting to add a front hitch, like the Curt item # C31082 you were looking at, this is the only option available.

During installation you will likely need to either trim the front fascia/air dam
