snow plow or front hitch

[Old Man]

Give up. You already said you don't know if it can be done. You've been told over and over - no.

Give up.

You would not put a plow on a Maverick anymore than you would put one of the front of a minivan, it's best just to pay someone to do the job who has the equipment, it's much cheaper in the long run.

Cheaper? A company asked $200 to 4inch $50 every more inch, each time they come...
If in a month smow 10 times 5 inch , will be 2.5k... cheaper!

I have a electric start snowblower. Bought 4y ago , used the first one , the second we had no snow. Used the third one , when went to start it , it didnt. Took me 5h to figure why. And it was a small grain of sand into the carburator nozzle that stuck the gas.
Imagine had to been crazy 5h for a little grain of sand.

Last winter i had like 9inch of snow and didnt used.

The snowblower I suggested isn't electric start, it's fully electric (battery) so no engine or carb or gas to worry about. I'm tapping out now. Good luck.

Quit bothering us. Get a snowblower or wait until spring, just quit bothering us.

Were you able to come up with a solution?

Were you able to come up with a solution?

I have found the rear plower
2 solution that i have to check

One is the snowsport 180 , but is a fix rear plow that can only push , will be a little bit hard to maneuver and complicated near doors.

Second is the boss drag pro.
Is an idraulic plow , that can push and pull. Only problem is the weight.
I sent an email to the company to have more info about it.

Since you have received nothing but " NO" and " not recommended" and " not built for it" answers with great information and explanations as to why not to plow snow with a Maverick and continue to search for the answer you want to hear, here you go: go ahead and put a plow on it, see if I care!!

Nothing can ne mount in the front , we got it.
Cannot be used to plow street , we got it.
But if i can hitch 4k trailer , there is no reason to attack something in the rear to pull and push few inch of snow.

Trailers aren't regularly for the use of colliding with and pushing stationary material.

That rear mounted plow is about the dumbest contraption I've ever seen to move snow.

And what about a front hitch ?
Still void the warranty?
Does exist a front hitch?

Anyone have tryed the rear plower?

A front hitch would require a base plate for flat towing to provide a cross member across the front to restrict compressing and expansive forces from affecting the front of the unibody. The plow would most likely exert more forces than just the flat towing the base plate would be designed for resulting in it having to be modified/redesigned.
As for a rear plow it would require several sacks of cement in bed to add weight for rear wheels and the hitch is welded to the crash bar which is designed to crumple. It most likely be ok but if maybe not if you plowed a chunk of ice frozen to the cement. Any bending or damage resulting from bending would most likely not be covered by warranty.
