There’s a saying that goes like this: Snowflakes are kisses from heaven.
In a few short months, you better pucker up, baby, because winter’s coming! And the worse it gets, the more you need a snowplow to power your way through all those kisses, or, snowdrifts.
The good news is that using snowplows is easier than ever before. Manufacturers have spent their summer months refining designs and coming up with new ideas to get you through the winter snows.
So before winter blesses you with many kisses, check out these notable examples.
MEYER Model 26000 HomePlow
The HomePlow is designed for homeowners and quickly attaches to your SUV or light pickup using a class-3, 2” front receiver hitch (sold separately). Available in several models, this full-powered HomePlow Model 26000 uses a hydraulic lift and wired controller to operate just like a conventional commercial plow for all up/down, left/right blade movements. The HomePlow comes pre-assembled in a crate, has integrated wheels for easy on/off and storage, and even offers plow markers to help locate blade edges.

SNO-WAY 26V Model
The 26V is the top of the line in V-plow technology. The unique Ground Hugger blade design keeps the plow on the ground to clean more snow. To enhance clearing, Sno-Way invented the patented MaxADJUST Leveling System that allows the operator to adjust the center hinge for perfect plowing alignment and eliminate a snow trail. With the Down Pressure Hydraulic System as standard equipment, this plow will save time. Many V-plows are infamous for having obstacle tripping difficulty, this model uses their patented Shock Killer Trip Return System to reduce blade return shock to the truck and the driver.

HINIKER C-Plow
The unique C-Plow unites conventional plowing with efficient backdrag plowing in a single design. The C-Plow operates as a conventional plow in the forward plowing mode, with the normal hydraulic angling and spring-trip moldboard functions. For backdragging, the upper 3/4 of the high-density polyethylene moldboard hydraulically folds over, creating a rear-facing backdrag blade. A second cutting edge fastened to the top of the moldboard becomes the contact point with the ground surface. Each half of the trip-edge works independently of the other, reducing stress on the plow in forward mode.
