Homemade hitch

[1968Commando 172]

How hard would it be to make a clevis hitch or somthing like that, and then have it have a 2 inch receiver and then hooking this up to move snow in driveways? Or does anybody else have ideas for snowplows?

Will it work... most likely. Will it work well - probably not. You are driving over the fresh snow & packing it down before you try to scrape it off. The snow will pack up if the blade is not angled - then what??? IMHO - better off with a front blade.

You could turn the blade around where you would be backing up pushing the snow.               May want to make an appointment with a chiropractor beforehand, your neck will thank you.

That makes sense, guess I’m looking into making a snow plow.

I have a similar four-wheeler. That's interesting for grading with it. Only thing is can it be raised and lowered?

Probably by making a clevis hitch with a receiver hitch on it, I’m going to make my own clevis hitch
