Ready for Snow? Or do you remember last winter? H. Kent Sundling, www.MrTruck.com SNOWSPORT Consumer Plow Yeah I remember December 20th a couple years ago, my wife’s birthday and our first 2 ft snow storm in Colorado for the season, with snow almost every weekend until spring. I had a snow plow on my lawn tractor with chains for the small area’s and the Snowsport plowing backwards attached to the receiver. This year I got a Sandhills Body Guard front bumper with a 2 inch receiver tube so I can plow snow forwards. I like plowing forward. Last winter I pushed some old froze snow with the Snowsport consumer plow, it surprised me how well it pushed the ice piles.
