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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you are worried about causing damage to your lawn or pathway, the poly scraper attachment (SB324-069) 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.

Picked this up from etrailer for a great price, so i can put a hitch-mounted winch on the front of our race tow vehicle (and perhaps use it to get the trailer into tight spots). As always with etrailer, it was delivered quick (and free!). One of the arms was just slightly bent (perhaps from shipment) so I had to whack it a couple times with a heavy hammer to get the holes to line up, but after that it fit perfectly. The little "fishing" tool included is extremely handy for installing the two bolts that need to come from inside the frame of the truck.
All in all, quality is great and this particular one fits with my factory skidplate/splashguard with a small amount of trimming with some metal shears.
PS - we also have stuff from etrailer on the rear end. Highly recommend anything you buy from etrailer!

Overall it's a good light duty plow, works like it's supposed to, clears the snow with no problems. Originally purchased the plow with the hitch receiver mount, But the plow stuck out quite a bit in my opinion plus there was to much wobble. So I converted to the 2 point mount which brought the plow in closer and a lot less wobble.
There was an issue with the actuator, it would work intermittently when lowering the plow but Snow Bear covered it under warranty and sent me a new one.
My only gripe is that only after 3 months of Winter use, the whole plow was showing a lot of surface rust and the paint was peeling.

Overall it is a good setup, does the job it's suppose to. Had one problem with the actuator intermittently working when lowering the plow, but was replaced under warranty.
Originally purchased to use in a front mounted hitch receiver, but switched to the two point hookup which brought the plow in closer to the vehicle and made it a little more stable.
My only problem was after 3 months of winter use, paint was peeling and a lot of surface rust showing.

My hitch arrived quickly and my mechanic installed it in 1.5 hours for me a few days later. The factory skid plate fits nicely with 2 holes cut as a modification. His only concern is he will now have to use hand tools instead of his air tools on some bolts holding the skid plate at oil change time. But no big deal at all.
I keep a 16 foot boat in my warehouse and maneuvering room is very tight. The door is narrow and there is a building across from my door that leaves very little room to maneuver my truck in. With my new front hitch I put the boat in the warehouse in less than a minute the first try.
The front hitch makes it easier in 2 ways:
1) visibility-you can see what you are doing. You are closer to your work and you are looking straight at it.
2) with the trailer closer to the front wheels you can do things in tight quarters that just can't happen working with the rear hitch. Using the rear hitch the front of your truck would hit the wall of the opposite building.
My only regret is not getting this ten years ago. I recommend a front hitch to anyone who needs to maneuver a trailer in tight spaces.

Easy Installation on my 05 Tundra, can be used with the stock splash guard/skid plate. Bolts up nice and solid. All hardware is included. Uses 4 stock (pre-existing) holes in the frame and then you have two drill two more. You have to fish two bolts through the frame tube, but the wire fishing tool is included and it was much easier than I thought it would be. I had to do some minor trimming off the edge of the stock skid plate. This was easy I just cut a tab about 6-8 inched long with tin-snips and folded/rolled the tab in about 1/2 inch deep. This allows full clearance for the hitch and plate. You can install easily in about an hour. The tow loops are a nice addition. Overall very happy with it and worth the money.
by: Robert 10/29/2021
High quality receiver, both structure and finish. Routine install with a reasonable amount of effort. Still looks new after a year. Get's little use as a front end "Pusher" hitch but I really like having that capability when things get tight. Delivery was very prompt as well. Overall excellent buying experience.

It's rad...
Tiny more $than expected (was hoping for hundo vs 140$ in the end)
Fits with my bull bar I use for road protection and has proved itself - just had to cut a hole for the hitch...
by: Thomas 03/14/2024
Fit perfectly. Easy install (2 holes to drill). Longest part of project was fishing the bolts through (need new glasses maybe!).
by: Peter M.05/02/2013
This is the second hitch I have ordered from etrailer and both hitches went on "without a hitch" (I couldn't resist). Instructions were direct and easy to follow.
Congratulations etrailer on delivering as promised---very much appreciated in this day and age. Great crew and good team work. Thank you!

Hi Patrick,After one year of extensive use through a very harsh winter, the hitch is working beautifully. It is holding a diamond plate tool box with apps. 200ponds of camping gear. I still get a lot of comments and questions about it as it is mounted on the front. A lot of getting down to look under. One of the best additions I have made to my rig. Keep up the great work at having us improve our rigs!

2004 ToyotaTundra
I installed this unit on a 2004 Toyota Tundra 2WD SR5 4 door with no issues. I dropped the front skid plate thinking it would be in the way but ended up putting it back on when I realized it was not an issue. The install took about 1.5 hours and would have been quicker had I just left the front skid plate alone. Make sure you have some good 1/2 bits for drilling out those front holes. The 2 rear holes on each side are already there. Make sure you understand how to use the fish wire tool for installing the front bolts on each side. Love the product.

I ordered a Curt front mount trailer hitch for my Toyota Tundra. The product was shipped as advertised, but when I received it I tried to mount it on my pickup. The holes were far from lining up. I discovered that one of the mounting arms was badly bent (probably warpage from welding) and should have never left the Curt factory. I documented the issue with pictures and sent them to etrailer then spent significant time straightening the warped arm because I had immediate need for the hitch. etrailer refused to go back to Curt about their poor quality and refused to provide the requested discount after I saved them the cost of shipping 2 ways and the hassle of dealing with a defective part. Poor customer service…

2003 ToyotaTundra
Very good construction. Easy to install after I bought a large break over bar to remove the bolts on existing tow hooks. Had to trim the skid plate a little to clear and now requires a box wrench instead of a socket to remove skid plate when doing an oil change. But overall not a bad installation job and I like having this on the truck for the occasional winch operation, front mount spare tire when I have the trailer, or using a cargo carrier on the front.

Fast delivery. Well made hitch. Front mounted to my Tundra so I can place my boat trailer precisely. I also intend to use it for a cargo carrier when towing my camper. Video was helpful when installing it. Overall happy with the product and service.

2003 ToyotaTundra
Very nice hitch. Fits my 2003 Toyota Tundra perfectly. I had someone else install it but could have done so myself very easily. It was not necessary to remove the mud shield under the engine. I bought this in order to be able to move boat trailers, RV's etc. around without having to try to crane my neck around! It takes a lot of the work out of launching a boat and/or getting the RV in that tight spot!
Buy with confidence from etrailer.com!

After one year of utilizing my Reece front mount hitch I am yet very well pleased with the equipment. Utilizing it for backing boat and other trailers , especially over longer distances , curving paths and tight places is much safer and easer. And I have routinely used the mount for securing a 12,000 pound winch when on hunting trips. Would highly recommend this mount to anyone for such purposes.

Ford Transit Connect
The hitch is pretty much as advertised and as expected. Delivery was fast as usual.
One minor issue was that when I tried to install it, the holes in the hitch didn't line up with the ones on the truck chassis, so I called etrailer to find out what was going on.
The representative I spoke with knew exactly what had happened, and as it turned out the hitch "wings" were bent inwards a little, perhaps from the unit having been dropped at some time or another, quite probably in transit.
Rather than return it and wait for a replacement I was able, at the representative's suggestion, to squeeze them apart enough with a bottle jack and a piece of 2 x 4 so they lined up, and all was good after that.
This is the third hitch of one kind or another we've purchased from etrailer. All have been exactly as advertised.
Good products, good prices, efficient shipping and good friendly service. What's not to like?

I could not be more pleased with this front mount hitch. I use this hitch to mount signs and height clearance poles on the front of my Pilot Truck (oversize load escorting). Hitch was easy and straight forward to install.

2005ToyotaTundra
After some thinking and studying I found etrailer by accident. I was needing a front receiver hitch to carry my jack and bicycles on my truck when I have my camper on. I used the etrailer web page to find the exact part my truck needed, I mean exact. Then they had a video to show me how to do it. After watching the video I was confident I could do. I also had all the tools I needed to install it. From start to finish It took about an hour. I had to trim my skid plate with a angle grinder and a dremel but that was super easy to do. I was amazed that it was so easy, stunned actually. Fishing the bolt through the frame was so easy I laughed as I was doing it! The info help with the videos was the key to my purchase. The fast delivery was the seal on the deal. I am a loyal etrailer customer and I plan to tell my friends. Face book here I come.

by: Theodore W03/11/2018
The Curt front hitch arrived yesterday, less than a week after ordering. Installing the hitch was easy. Removing and trimming the skid plate was the hardest part but not bad, my skid plate is steel. I installed hitch by myself, being it’s quite heavy I used a floor jack to lift hitch into position, very easy, just go slow, be very careful until the first bolts are fastened. Also when drilling holes for the third bolt make sure holes are a full half inch to make fishing bolts through them easier. Very satisfied with hitch, makes moving my camper , utility trailer and boat very easy. Should have installed a front hitch years ago, Thanks for another etrailer product.

Love my new Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver. The instructions were very clear and with the help of a friend I installed it in less than 30 minutes. It fit perfectly and the fit and finish are excellent. The front hitch will make it so much easier to park my boat at home since I must make a 90 deg turn and back it into a narrow driveway with culverts and other obstacles on each side. I will also now be able to EASILY maneuver it into the back yard if needed for longer term storage. Something I could never have done by backing in with my long wheelbase pickup. It was well worth the investment for me and you can't beat etrailer.com for the excellent price and fast shipping!!

I am pleased with the hitch. It mounted perfect, although I did need to do some extensive modification to the skid plate. After thinking about it, this turned out to be good, I was able to come up with some ideas on a better skid plate.
I am pleased with Etrailer, their service, and delivery.

Working out fine. Ive used it a few times for various things, and it still looks brand-new no rust or visible wear. Overall still very pleased with the price and quality.
