Details: Aftermarket Blizzard Power plow Hand held Control Old Style 12 Pin Power Hitch 810PP, 8611PP 8611LP, B62109 and B62141

Brand: Generic

NOTE: This control will not work on a 1999-2000 810PP. These plows did not have a ground wire in the harness and this control will not work unless you add that ground. In the diagram below, pin # 7 will not have a wire in the truck side harness. If all the holes are not wired, you can not use this control unless you add that ground. Here is a New Aftermarket Blizzard Handheld Control for the Power Plows. This has the plug right on it, not an adapter like some other aftermarket controls. This is a direct plug in to the joystick 62109 or touchpad 62141 control for the early Blizzard snow plows. This is for the 810PP, 8611PP and the 8611LP. (These are the blades with the power wings.) On the top of this controller there is a 3 way switch allowing you to go from off / on / Power Hitch. NOTE: If you are using this control to replace the old joystick console, you will need the headlight switch kit 62138 to plug into the second plug, because this control does not have the switch built into it like the early one does. That kit is part # 62138. Make sure you have the Power Hitch and not the Power Hitch II. If you are not sure what control you use, there are two easy ways to tell. First, match up the plug. Or second, see if your plow lights stay with the truck when you take the plow off. If they go with the plow, then you have the new style and this control will not work. However, we have them listed too. Blizzard Power Plow aftermarket control instructions. Aftermarket control user instructions.

Buyer Guide Snow Plows

 If you’re buying snow plows, this guide will provide you with some handy tips.

• Consider Your Yard Size. Snow plows ought to be used for streets (and sidewalks) that are at least 60 feet (18m) wide.
• The Plow. When buying a snow plow, bear in mind that the plow’s width should be equal to or wider than the plow’s length.
• Plow Blades. The plow blades should move easily and should spread the snow over a larger area.
• Adjustability. You need a snow plow that can be adjusted easily.
• Storage. Snow plows are designed to be compact for easy storage.
• Plow Alternatives. A snowblower, for example, is an option that you should consider.

How to choose Snow Plows

 When buying snow plows, it’s important to weigh different factors and choose the one that best fits your needs.

• What is the weight of your snow? The bigger the snow, the bigger the snow plow you will need. You should invest in a plow that is designed to handle a heavier amount of snow.
• What is the shape of the plow? Some plows, such as V-shaped plows, are better at clearing snow from hills.
• What is the length of your plow? The longer the plow, the more snow it will be able to clear at a time.
• Does it have an angled blade? Angled plow blades are better at pushing snow back down the hill.
• Can you adjust the blade? A plow with an adjustable angle and position will allow you to adjust the blade angle depending on your needs.
• Does the plow have an adjustable blade? Adjusting the angle of the blade is especially important in rural areas, as there may be uneven terrain.
• Does it have skid plates? Skid plates protect the blade from damage.
• Can you choose between hydraulic and electric? Hydraulic lift brakes are easier to use, but electric lift brakes are more cost-effective.
• Can you choose between forward and reverse? With forward, the plow clears the snow in front of the blade. With reverse, the plow clears the snow behind the blade.
