Is the plow motorized so you can raise and lower it? Looks pretty sweet though!

yep look closly and you will see a chain connected to a servo to raise and lower it. doesn't have a ton of throw but I just finished my drive way with it for the second time

I saw the chain but didn't know that's what it was for. Need action shots tomorrow.

Cool plow setup you have there.

I don't have a plow, but do have 25cm of snow to play in. Here are some pics from tonight.

it mounts to the JPS bumper with 2 stainless bolts. Pretty simple and very strong. I have even done it with a stock plastic clod bumper mounts as well But they will bend and break
