SnowBear with aftermarket winch Pt. 1

Short video of the modification and operation I made to my SnowBear personal snow plow when the factory issue SuperWinch failed. This plow is mounted on a '97 Silverado 2wd and does a stellar job.

I need mine to go side to side from in the cab. Have you rigged something up for that?

[78majorpain]

@miketonon Nope, not yet. I probably should. Soon....

how well does the 2wd drive do when back dragging?

[78majorpain]

Mine does o.k. but I really watch how far I back drag. No farther than I need to so I can turn around to push forward. I've got add 3 notes here: The plow needs more weight to keep steady down pressure to keep it from raising over the snow when back dragging, I haul around 1200 lbs of sand in the box all winter, and lastly, I try not to let the snow get deeper than 3 inches. It's all about using your head and taking a bit more time than with a 4X4 and a "big plow".

Okay. Thank you. So are you happy with it or do you regret buying it?

[78majorpain]

The winch? I have no regrets (except that I didn't buy it sooner as a backup). The plow? No regrets either. The truck? Every single day that I look at it, I regret it.....

[carviper2]

@justsumnewb123 So basically I can do my driveway and my grandmothers.

[justsumnewb123]

@carviper2 yes you can. its pretty light. and if u put sand bags or somthign to add weight to the back you shouldent have any problems. as long as you arnt trying to run a plow bissness
