I was a little Leary Getting a plastic plow but the other metal blade and/or hydraulic fully functioning plow system was over $3,000. The KFI pro poly plow has been fantastic this winter and I am completely satisfied with the purchase. I have a tractor and snow blower attachment but with a small amount of snow, it doesn’t really work right. The KFI plow works great and has easily handled 7-8” of snow. The blade can be moved by hand and with the previously installed winch, raising and lowering the blade is a snap. I highly recommend you replace the winches steel cable with the nylon strap though because I do raise and lower the blade a lot and the steel cable started to wear.
