    That’s pretty cool. Rear dragging snow plow? Would have been better if the result was seen.

    Indeed. I didn't realize how far it was throwing the snow, I assumed the plow would be visible in the video but no luck, just the avalanche of snow.

    Yes, dragged homebuilt A frame snow plow.

    I've seen a lot of different plow rigs over the years, but none like that. Seems to work pretty well. How does it handle deeper storms or heavy/wet snow?

    It works great as long as you plow the wet stuff before it freezes hard.

    Pretty cool setup. I imagine you cant reverse with that on there, right? I'm trying to think up inexpensive plow setups for my driveway(500+')

    You can make a three point turn, but no, you can't back straight up.

    My driveway is about 3000' so this works really well for plow out long stretches.

    I made it out of 2x4 tubular steel, and 12 gauge steel sheet.
