    Snowsport plow on 2011 Tacoma, plow frame slides into front hitch. Living in New England I can tell you this little plow can move some snow and ill take it over shoveling any day

    I've always wondered how well those work without being able to lift. Were you able to do this last storm all at once, or in a couple of times to keep up with it?

    I like the idea but a buddy has one on his Honda and it is still like 1500 bucks. I will stick with my snow blower

    I like it too. Over the years the snow blower has lost a lot of it's initial appeal... as has winter in general.

    OP, got any pics of how the front hitch bolts up?

    Good stuff! I like it.

    Always had trouble with snow blowers. Gummed up fuel, sheer pins in the auger snapping off, clogs, electric starter shorting out. Makes something like this a bit more interesting.

    The snowblower does give more access to sidewalks, and smaller driveways though. Always a trade off.

    It is expensive brand new however i found mine on craigslist for 800. The front hitch was about 120. The hitch was very easy bolt on installation into factory holes. I do still have my snowblower for my walk way and sidewalk.

    Try using Startron fuel enzyme in your gas, it should keep it from doing anything to the carbs. I've been using it for a while now in my snow blower, lawn mower, chain saw and motorcycle and it seems to work really well.

    I've got a snow blower that plugs into the wall for it's electric start with a pull start backup. It usually starts second pull but the wall outlet thing is nice just in case :D

    I have a question regarding my plow lights. on 11/11/11 i had a Snowdogg md68 installed on my 2011 tacoma. The plow works great...little hard sometimes putting it on, here is the problem. When I disconnect the plow I find that the Passanger side light of my truck not working. I replaced the bulbs ( Drivers and passanger side)and find that i have the same problem....High beams work on both sides. Took it to my local dealer/installer and he felt it was the pig tail infront of passenger side light that came with plow, disconnected the pig tail, installed the factor light plug into pass light and headlight came on. Told me he was going to order new pigtail and did so....long story short , new pigtail not the problem and still not working . when i connect the plow to truck...plow lights work and truck lights go off. Any Ideas. Jerry
