home made snow plow

I made this plow (for my own use)to keep my 350ft driveway clear of snow.It is simple but works very well.

Thanks for clearing up the front hitch thing.I use mine for many differant uses.What you have is likely a fine product called "snowsport"Mine WAS made by me for my personal use on my driveway.I will admit it looks a lot like the snowsport unit but I have built a few things into mine that i wanted to try.I have had a lot of fun using it and it has saved me a bunch of shoveling.Thanks for watching .keep the comments coming.

I agree ,in some snow conditions it would be better to use a snow blower.This was powdery dry snow.(kind of like sweeping those syrofoam beads that come as filler with packages)"Dang-it Spock stop being so logical,I.m just a mechanic not a rocket builder".LOL.Thanks for watching.

It is a 99 chev tahoe/4x4/1500/auto with homemade front hitch and studded winter tires.The shorter wheelbase makes it slick for plowing.

I guess all I can do is to keep making trips till its all moved.I don't really want to make it higher because I would need a light bar to transport it than.I have thought of adding a rubber top flap to keep the snow fall rolling over the top.If we get a "big snow fall"I can always get my fathers 80hp tractor and blower to move most of it and use my "puny plow"to keep the little drifts cleaned up.Thanks for watching.

Ball park $s if you had to buy everything and have it welded together I would say in the $600-$700 range.I didn't pay that because I had most of the stuff kicking around my shop anyway and I work as a welder (so I did that myself)I know I can't keep up with the big plow guys but I had fun making it and have fun useing it too.Thanks for the comments -Keep them comming.

Nice build, I noticed that it drops down and tilts backward when you back up, I assume you don hav a means to raise/lower it?

I was also wondering if you had a build thread or build pictures as I'm curious how it works, I am thinking of building my own and loves seeing other peoples builds.

P.S. what did you use for the part of the blade that makes contact?
