The Detail K2 snowplows are manufactured using high-quality steel. You will be able to clear your driveway in a fraction of the time it would take with a shovel or snow blower. K2 also gives you the option of choosing from either an 82 or 84-inch wide model plow. These plows are capable of pushing large amounts of snow easily and efficiently without rusting or corroding and are more than tough enough to take abuse without easily denting or dinging as well. The K2 snow plow slips into any standard 2-inch front receiver hitch for easy connection and disconnection. The plow comes complete with a snow deflector, skid shoes, and caster wheels, no need for any extra accessories. A wireless controller allows you to raise or lower the blade without leaving the comfort of your cab.

Buyer Guide Snow Plows

 Snowplows are one of the most useful winter accessories out there.

• Width. Width affects plowing capacity. A plow that’s 12 inches wide will clear more snow in comparison to the one that’s 10 inches wide.
• Turning Radius. Most plows allow you to turn them in any direction.
• Height. Most plows adjust between 30 inches and 60 inches.
• Weight. Plows weigh from 60 pounds to 150 pounds or more, depending on the model.

 

How to choose Snow Plows

When choosing a snow plow, there are a few important factors to keep in mind:
