Craptasic toy? Sorry, you asked for my opinion...



The plow is too light so it'll ride up and over packed snow. It's too low so the snow will flow over the top. One hard hit against a concealed object and you are bending something. 2" receiver mount? Yea, try hooking that up during a Alberta Clipper!

Default We make these plows

Hey. My company makes the SNOWSPORT plows.

jbiloff, can you tell me about the location you want to plow? Maybe I can give you a better idea of whether it will work for you.

I disagree with what Cord said, but I respect his right to share his opinion of our products.

If you want to see what our customers say about us, there are quite a few reviews on our Facebook page, and we don't have control over which one Facebook shows.

Also, here's a playlist on YouTube with customer reviews.
I live in southeaster Wisconsin. Would be using it for my own driveway and the in-laws. Not looking at commercial use.

My father-in-law has been using this plow for 4 years. Works great and does a great job

This plow could work very well for you.

The one question I have is: Do you need the ability to backdrag snow? That is, drive forward toward a building with the plow up, stop at the edge of the building, lower the plow, and pull it back out?

If you absolutely have to have this ability, we can't help you. Our plow is made to be mechanically simple and operate without hydraulics or electrical connections, and the trade-off of this design is that it can't backdrag.

But if you can get your plowing done by going forward only, then I think our plow could work very, very well for you.

I have to agree with Cord. All 3 of us are in Wisconsin so we know what our winters are like. I can see this bending pretty quickly. I use an ATV with a plow and it works great, can ride up with packed snow, but when I hit something (which is often enough) the weight of the ATV isn't enough to do any damage to the plow. Your truck on the other hand......

Also the new state law allows ATV's to run on roads in town up to 5 miles if you are on your way to plow someone out. All you need is a yellow hazard light. If your in-laws are close enough you could just drive over there. Plus ATV's are fun

Murf, I respectfully disagree.

We make our plows in North Dakota, and we use them here too. We sell our plows all over the nation, and we get quite a few sales in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and New York.


And here is a message from our Facebook page we got from a customer near Buffalo, NY, earlier this year during the big storms around Thanksgiving. (He used the ATV version of our plow)
