SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow for 2" Hitches - Electric Actuator - 88" Wide x 26" Tall
part number: SB324-140

Hitch-mounted snowplow makes short work of your snowy driveway or parking lot. Pivoting, 5-position blade glides over uneven ground. Long-lasting actuator with internal clutch lets you operate plow from your warm cab.

Features:

  • Hitch-mounted plow lets you clear parking lots and driveways with your vehicle
  • Plow sits close enough to vehicle to reduce leverage and strain on plow, mounts, and vehicle
  • Electric actuator raises and lowers plow smoothly and consistently
    • Internal clutch prevents damage caused by attempting to under- or overextend the actuator
    • Simple, chain-lifting design has fewer moving parts than a winch

    • Includes a wireless remote control as an alternative to the toggle switch

  • Terrain-adjustable design for efficient plowing with less tripping
    • Rocking blade pivots up to 6" to allow maneuvering over uneven terrain
    • Trip springs and eyebolts are angled so blade rests on ground at correct angle
  • Sturdy steel edge scrapes over a variety of solid surfaces - not for gravel or sand
    • Poly scraper blade attachment (SB324-070 - sold separately) allows you to plow over grass or decorative pavement without worry of damage
  • Skid shoes let you adjust plow height to prevent blade from digging into the ground
  • Strong rubber deflector allows for better visibility by directing snow away from your windshield
  • Red visibility markers help you see plow edges so you can steer away from obstacles

The SnowBear Proshovel conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch for easy, convenient mounting. Smoothly and easily raise and lower the plow from the comfort of your cab with the remote-controlled electric actuator. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain. Angled trip springs are also built in to help keep the blade from catching and tripping. Being just 39" away from the bumper, the Proshovel snowplow has a compact yet strong and sturdy design.


Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation

HITCH MOUNTING

This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. Unlike a plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets, which ties you down to just 1 vehicle, this hitch-mounted plow can be used on most trucks or SUVs with a 2" x 2" front-mounted hitch. As a result, this plow can be easily switched between multiple vehicles. And because it offers a nearly universal fit, you won't have to buy a new plow when you replace your old vehicle.


To install the Proshovel snowplow, just slide the shank of the plow assembly into your 2" trailer hitch receiver . Then use a pin and clip or a hitch lock (sold separately) to secure the plow in the receiver.


How to Plow

Once the plow is mounted on your vehicle, lower the blade and set it to the desired angle. To set the angle, exit the vehicle and manually position the plow straight ahead, 11 degrees to the left or to the right, or 22 degrees to the left or to the right. Angling the blade allows you to push snow off to the side where you want it without having to change the angle of your entire vehicle. This is especially useful on a driveway or private roadway where piling the snow straight ahead would create a barrier.


To begin plowing, just drive forward. When backing up to take another pass, be sure to lift the plow with the remote or the in-cab toggle switch, then lower it again before moving forward. When approaching a large pile of snow, be sure to decrease your speed. Slamming into a pile of snow can void the warranty on the Proshovel.


When you are finished, put your vehicle in park and lower the plow. Remove the plow from your vehicle after every use.


Smooth, Controlled Lifting with Electric Actuator

ACTUATOR

The electric actuator on this plow allows you to lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. To raise the plow, activate the actuator. As the actuator moves along the internal screw, the arm on top of the actuator will pivot, raising the plow blade by pulling the chain that is attached to it. Having fewer moving parts than a typical winch makes this setup less complicated and less likely to break down than other plow lifting and lowering devices. There is also an internal clutch system that prevents damage to the actuator should you try to raise the blade too high or lower it too low.


Add-On Accessories

SnowBear offers a plethora of helpful accessories to make plowing even safer and easier. Along with the available accessories to enhance your snowplowing experience, many parts of the SnowBear Proshovel snowplow are available separately, so you can replace worn-out pieces without having to replace the whole plow.


LIGHT KIT

The off-road halogen light kit (SB324-127) may be necessary if your plow blocks your vehicle's headlights. This kit will light up the way when you're plowing at night or in the early morning. The light kit mounts directly to your plow frame and offers increased visibility when plowing in dark conditions. The 2 bright halogen lights make it easier for you to see where you are going and for others to see you.


CASTER KIT

With the caster kit (SB324-126), it will be a breeze to move and store the Proshovel snowplow when it's not in use. These wheels mount directly behind the blade and they can be easily folded down for use and up for storage. In addition, these wheels will not weigh the plow down.


DROP KIT

The drop extension kit (SB324-128) allows you to use your SnowBear snowplow on your lifted vehicle. With 6" of drop, this bolt-on kit ensures that the plow makes proper contact with the ground. Its sturdy steel construction is just as strong and durable as the plow itself.


POLYBLADE

If you are worried about causing damage to your lawn or pathway, the poly scraper attachment (SB324-070) is perfect for replacing the harsh, steel scraper on the Proshovel. The polymer construction is strong enough to still help plow efficiently, but gentle enough to not hurt your lawn or pathway.

I bought this after years of struggling to get a race trailer in the backyard. When I decided to move it about 12 feet to the right, I knew there was no way my F350 4X4 crew-cab could make the tight turns that would be required. After being able to position it on the first try, I realized I should have bought it 20 years ago.

The installation took two tries. Not sure if it because I’m 66 or trying to do it by myself. The key for me was to hook a couple of straps to it, unbolt it, and then put the bumper on the engine compartment. The first attempt was by trying to do everything from the backside. Once I removed the bumper completely, I was able to do everything from the from, so I was not completely blind in installing the two side bolts. The straps not only made it easier to reinstall it, they were useful in pulling up on side to level it.

I will be buying my son one for his 2016 F150 4X4

I should have done this when I first bought the truck.



by: Clarence02/02/2024

Package shipped and arrived quickly. Install was relatively easy, but took longer as the bolts were actually larger (7/8") - and I did not have a shallow socket for it that was also 1/2" drive for my torque wrench. I also needed remove the grill cover to have enough throw to tighten back on the bumper after the hitch was bolted on (which blocked access from the bottom). I would recommend getting some 9/16" shank carriage bolts to help align and secure the front flange while tightening the sides to the frame. I used a floor jack on level pavement to raise the hitch into position.

Overall - it looks great and functions well. Very stout and strongly built with superb welds and finish. This will make getting smaller trailers into tight spaces MUCH more easier and less of a headache/embarrassment. Plus it's also another point for recovery as an option for 4x4 or overlanding, and I also added a step to the front of it which makes accessing the back of the engine bay easier.



by: Stacy M.04/18/2020

Very stout, heavy duty material. However, I had to make a modification, though I don't think it will affect the integrity of the hitch, not as a motorcycle carrier. I added an after market intercooler to my 1996 F530 at the same time I was adding this receiver. Unfortunately the receiver was not designed to accommodate an intercooler. I had to cut a notch on each side of the hitch receiver mounting brackets and run the side bolts the opposite direction as shown in the instructions. After a bit of work with the angle grinder and some fresh paint, everything fit very well together. Without the intercooler, no modifications would have been needed and would have fit like a glove.



by: Jay L.03/25/2014

First your tech assistance was great, was able to verify this is the right hitch to fit my truck, you really don't want to crawl under a truck and find out its the wrong configuration. Second, the shipping was fast, I will rate that as (four stars). Third and most important, the hitch was the easiest to install, it took me approx. 40 min. Thanks guys. We will buying more products from you.
Attached before and after photos, very clean installation.

Great service as always accurate on delivery times exact part match this is a company I will continue to use

Very easy to install. Can be done by one person but a second person is good to have around. I love this hitch. The price is great, shipping was free and it has saved me a lot of time moving things around in my shop. I have a ski boat and a bass boat. When pushing the boats back into the shop, the boat is more responsive to steering inputs allowing me to put it in tight areas quicker. Having the hitch up front lets me see what I'm doing better and it allows me to move things without a spotter if one is not available. Highly Recommended.

Still love it. It has been extremely useful. Money WELL spent. I have one on both of my pickups. Cant imagine a truck without one, especially a 4wd. Thx eTrailer.

Ford F-350 Super Duty

Excellent quality front hitch. Very stout. I ordered this front hitch to make my
93' F-350 more versatile. This allows me to use any receiver mounted attachments, like a portable electric winch, bike rack, motorcycle rack, support spar for roof carried boat, etc. It's also a great front anchor point to attach a tow strap or cable for pulling out folks who are stuck in the road in front of me without me having to turn around or try to go around them. And of course, it's fantastic for maneuvering trailers in difficult places. Etrailer is the best in the business.



by: Vince10/14/2013

Disappointment with the mounting hardware. The inventory list clearly describes the necessary hex bolts yet the packaging contained carriage bolts that cannot be tightened without a square punched hole in the frame rail instead of the drilled, round hole from the factory. If you buy this, plan on a trip to the hardware store and about $20 to get the necessary bolts.

It sounds like the hardware packaged with the hitch from Curt was wrong. You should have received hex head bolts, not carriage bolts. As always, we can get the proper hardware to our customers, just let us know. We will be in touch.

Very pleased! Quick shipping and the hitch fit well.
Only problem (on Ford, NOT etrailer!) was that several of the bolts/nuts were hard to torque due to the positioning of the holes. Do-able but it took a while!
I've purchased several other hitches from etrailer and never any problems!
I would definitely recommend etrailer to anyone!



by: Gary 09/03/2022

Order arrived on time with no defects, had all parts in box even the instructions. Took less than two hour to install, bolted right up like you said it would. This is the first time in a long time that something has happened too me. Thank you for providing me with an excellent product. Would recommend too anyone to buy

I really like the hitch. Very easy to install. I recommend removing the bumper for the install. Very pleased! Thank you trailer for the great service and product!



by: C.10/29/2021

Installation was simple & straight forward.
After
one year of limited use, it has performed flawlessly.
May have to order another one for my new truck.



by: Ray 10/07/2019

This is a quality product. The fit is very precise and tight. A bit tricky to figure out how it installs between the frame rails. Easier to do with 2 people. Works great.

Good Build and price. Cheesy carriage bolt and spacer set up. With bumper on there is no access to head even though instructions make it look like there is.
