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.

Work great, was easy to install, instruction that it came with weren't great, but video online helped. Going to use it for a bike rack and Winch. There was some scratches on the hitch when I received it, I think you need to rethink you packaging, putting metal on metal and wrapping it Saran wrap just doesn't keep it from rubbing, I will have to touch it up. Thanks for the fast shipping.

Awe, I am sorry that it arrived in that condition. I would recommend using a rust-oleum type of paint to prevent any corrosion.



by: Gregory10/29/2020

I need to thank the team @ eTrailer. The original front hitch for my Tacoma that I ordered was out of stock for a few months (Covid), and I needed the hitch for a trip in a week and a half. The eTrailer team had a different manufacturers brand at my door step in 2 days. I assembled the parts in my living room to make sure I had all the hardware, and exactly where all the bolts/washers will go. I cant wait to install it tomorrow. eTrailer had the best price I could find and delivered me the part in a very tight timeframe. eTrailer for the win!!!

Perfect. I attach a cooler and rod rack to the front of my vehicle for fishing. The rack is constantly loaded to and from the trailer hitch. After a year of abuse, its still not rusting I was pleasantly surprised. The trailer hitch on the back of the vehicle that came on the vehicle from the factory had rust by now on it. I would recommend.

My front hitch for my 2008 Tacoma got to me within 3 days very fast service. I installed it in 30 minutes and was able to put the front skid plate back on without doing any other changes to it. Very good product. I will be using it to put my rod rack on front of truck to use it at the outer banks of North Carolina for surf fishing this coming fall. Thanks for a very good hitch.

The hitch has worked really well for me. My rod rack that I use hitch for was esay to install and remove. Very good product.

Works great to make a tricky turn pushing my boat into the garage. Much better visibility and maneuvering than trying to back up.

Works great? Very helpful for putting boat into my garage which requires a 90 degree turn.

Installed the Curt front hitch on a 2006 Tacoma. Install time was approximately 45 minutes by myself - very straight forward installation; instructions were very clear. I did not have to remove the skid plate. I was concerned that the hitch would be low, but it sits higher than the lowest point of the skid plate.
Primary use will be to mount a bike rack when pulling a travel trailer. Does the job perfectly!
Customer service was above and beyond. I ordered this on Wednesday afternoon and it arrived Friday afternoon! Box arrived in good shape, hitch and all hardware were in perfect condition.

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: scott04/12/2019

Added this hitch a yr ago - orginal intent was to install a bike hitch rack on front ( works great as long as it is day time! Bikes distort headlights do much so not as good as I was hoping. Second note it did save my front end in September when a deer decide it want to play chicken and jumped out in front of me- ended up cracking my bumper but pretty sure (don't ask) that the hitch prevented it from destroying my entire front grill- so certainly paid for it self then. Lastily it is really convenient for moving my trailer around when parking it- its short and kept in a really tight spot so being able to just push it in instead of backing it in makes it so much easier.



by: Rex A12/30/2020

it's worked fine so far. Have used it to move my trailer and when not doing that I have my winch mounted on it which is the main reason I got it. super strong and looks good.

very happy still using winch on it



by: Daniel 08/19/2023

Fit, works, reasonably priced.



by: Steve05/10/2019

Works exactly as stated and provides a nice 2” receiver style hitch on the front end of the truck! I would have preferred a more discreet under mount but knew prior to install that it would be as pictured. I use mine with a hitch-mounted winch so that I can pull from both front and rear, depending on situation! No complaints and I would buy again!

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.



by: James J. 2014 Honda Pilot01/25/2018
2014 Honda Pilot

It arrived in about 3 days, in 3 packages. I researched online extensively before choosing the SnowSport HD. Price at etrailer was about 10% cheaper than other sites. I already had the front hitch on my 2014 Honda Pilot, so all I had to do was assemble the plow and go play.

I had watched multiple videos of using and assembling the product, before ordering. All the time shoveling my driveway with a shovel as I had to get in and out and keep the driveway, ice free for visitors.

Everything was in the boxes, not a single bolt or washer missing. Assembly was as simple as I expected. I completed assembly without assistance in about 90 minutes, at a normal pace. Neither my cordless (nor corded) drill would screw the 3/8 self tapping screws to connect the two blade pieces, but it was not difficult to do them with a ratchet.

I set the height correctly for the front hitch, and I have a 6 inch hitch drop/riser that that should give me good plowing with the back hitch (have not tested yet, but expect good results)

The design is very well thought out, it is a quality product that will probably last the rest of my life (home use). I recommend it to others, and I would buy it again.

I ordered the plow as we finished getting about 10 inches of snow over a couple of days. The temperature stayed below freezing and there was still about 6 inches of snow to play in, when I had the plow mounted. Based on some reviews I had concerns that it might not do well, pushing piles of snow, or the snow that had been sitting for days. I was pleasantly surprised to be pushing even snow the city snow plow had mounded in front of the neighbors driveway. I plowed the neighbors from the street and about 80 feet in, without difficulty, three passes in a couple minutes and the job was done.

I live in a 1950s ranch home, with a single car garage (in basement) near Pittsburgh PA, my Honda Pilot fits in the garage with just inches to spare going through the door. The 7 foot blade is just a little narrower than the side view mirrors. So I can drive in and out. I have the blade and mount in the garage, and they are light enough that I can mount the blade front or back while in the warm garage and drive out to plow snow. Pull back in the garage, remove the blade and drive into to town to go to the office for work.

I am so excited to have this plow that, it probably will not snow more then a trace for a couple of years... Fate denying me the opportunity to play with it for a long time.

The front hitch makes it easy to push my off-highway teardrop trailer through a gate at an angle and into a storage shed. The hitch came with complete instructions for my 2006 Toyota Tacoma. I was able to install with no assistance. I used a floor jack to position the hitch, and the process took me 45 minutes .

I am not an automotive person. I was very leery about attempting this project. I called etrailer to confirm that I had selected the correct hitch receiver. Customer service was very helpful and I placed my order over the phone. I was told that there might be a delay in shipping due to back order. I received update emails and the product arrive earlier than promised. Installation instructions are clear, an online video is available. Installed hitch receiver on my 2009 Toyota Tacoma by myself. No exotic tools required. I would not hesitate to purchase from etrailer again. Oh, great price too!

  • Will Curt Front Trailer Hitch 31313 Fit a Base Model 2-Wheel Drive 2007 Toyota Tacoma
  • Curt front mount trailer hitch # 31313 fits all models of the 2007 Toyota Tacoma. There should not be any interference with any of the truck components since the hitch sits out in front of the ends of the frame and in front of the bumper beam as shown in the instructions I have linked for you.

Two wheel drive models of the Tacoma may require some drilling and all 2007 and newer models will require the front skid plate being removed, though that will be the only difference in terms of installation. I've attached the installation instructions for you to take a look at as well.
