H2 Plowing Snow 2008 Edition

[Dan D 2]

Hey NJ...nice set-up. It appears that your using the front trailer hitch and winch to pick up the plow...is that correct?

I have to snow blow a large turn around area next to my garage up here in Maine and your video has given me a way to do it a lot quicker. I don't have a winch but I'm sure I can come up with something that will work.

No winch is needed. The plow mounts in the front trailer hitch and has it's own motor to lift.
I did need to get a heavy duty drop down hitch because the H2's front hitch is higher than most other front hitches.
Here is some info on the plow. I didn't buy it here but it's the same plow I have.

I would be worried about how far off the front it sticks out. Also the overall weight of it for plowing is not much and looks like it would ride up. For just over $3k you can get into a full Meyer setup that is a lot more heavy duty.

This is not a professional plow. It's just for your own driveway. I didn't want to install a Meyer or similar because of weight and stain on the front end. The plow I have weighs only 290 LBS and uses the front tow hitch to attach. The Meyer or similar that weighs at least 700 LBS plus there is a process needed for installation.
I use it for my own houses and a few friends for the fun factor.
BTW. If you look at the video you will notice that it doesn't ride up at all, even when pushing the large piles of snow.
If you want to plow for a side job this is not the plow for you. Professional plowing like Codeman said requires a Heavy Duty plow. I personally wouldn't install a Professional plow on an H2. I would buy a Pick-up truck for that.

I would have to agree with this 100%....... this is a nice blade and price for a do-it-yourself install that can be used for private/light duty applications. This set up also does not alter the front of the vehicle at all once removed (no brackets to reduce clearance).
