Build a Snowplow for $10 (DIY to upgrade your MANVAN)

It is the perfect time of year to grab those scraps and throw together a snowplow. I absolutely recommend using a 55 gallon drum ($10), installing a skid plate, and avoiding curbs. The first time I drive around like an idiot, but after that, I cleared as much as 6" in about 5-10 minutes. I learned to just go straight back and clear things in three passes. Anyway, go for it. It works!

You make do with what you got available 👍👍

[@RecycledWorkshop]

Absolutely. The 55 gallon drum works better than I would have hoped.

Great job!

[@gihonda127]

Good job, I don't live in an area where it snows, but if I did, I would feel more confident seeing how you did it, and it worked. Nicely done.

[@RecycledWorkshop]

Thanks. It was a fun project, and it makes things so much faster and easier.

[@MrDerek900]

Hey there the skid plate that you installed can you explain how many millimetres it raises the plow? Thanks.

[@RecycledWorkshop]

Thanks for asking. The skid plate is the thickness of the 55 gallon drum. That makes it about 5 mm.

really cool!!! i love it!!!

[@ericthomas7474]

Can you post the plans

[@tonysimone2043]

cool i have started building mind very similar to yours but i have a winch

[@RecycledWorkshop]

You will love it. I assumed I would add a winch, but I didn't need it. I would love to see yours when it's done.

[@craighiltz1836]

Can I get a materials list?

[@RecycledWorkshop]

Craig, I don't have a cut list. Everything is just scraps that I had in my garage, plus a 55 gallon drum. Good luck (and sorry I couldn't be more helpful).

[@goodluckchuck9311]

How much to build me one!!!

[@RecycledWorkshop]

Hahaha. You've got this. Just start building.
