ABSTRACT:
The snowplow of the present invention is adapted to mount to the bed of a pickup truck. The snowplow includes a mounting base and a frame which is rotatably coupled to the base. The snowplow blade is coupled to the frame so that it moves with the frame. By attaching a hydraulic system to the frame and base, the blade can be raised and lowered over a very wide range. The frame and blade are adjustable so that the same snowplow can be used on trucks with differing heights or with lift kits.
An alternative embodiment, the frame of the snowplow is mounted to the ends of the cross bar of the vehicle hitch. Hydraulic cylinders move the frame assembly and blade between raised and lowered positions. A conventional spreader may be mounted to the central receiver of the hitch so as to be positioned between the spaced apart arms of the frame assembly. In both embodiments, trip action springs are provided such that the blade is normally biased to an upright snow removing position but will pivot to override obstacles.
