Cheap drag snow plow in action on 7” of fresh snow on our farm lane.

- A lot of people asked how does it do in deeper snow. Well here it is in action plowing 7” of fresh snow. Works great. This was a cold dry snow. The plow has held up for years now even after I ram over it and broke one of the main 4x4’s. We added extra cross boards for weight and strength and 2x4 on the side to brace the broken 4x4. It still works just fine for plowing our farm lane and helps us cut a path out to the drag behind cow barns and hay ring.

Great job! Looks like it's doing well for you!
Thank you. It is doing well.
It’s simple w/o welding and heavy enough that I’ve even ran over it a couple times and it’s still going for years. We can flip it over on its side out of the way to rest for the non snow months.
I saw yours on your channel. It seems like weight would help yours to pull straighter. It helped mine.
@@weaversstonehousefarm thanks! Definitely a work in progress
I really need to remember to make one of these this summer, the problem is that snow removal isn’t at top of list when it’s warm out.
Cousin - Make one now when it’s mostly warm and some of the snow has melted. Stop at uncle Shawn’s so you can measure and copy the one I made for him 8 years ago. His is 2’ longer than mine. Adjust length as you need for the width of your driveway.
It’s a couple 4x4’s, a large metal 90 brace (biggest you can get at hardware store.). 12” GRK brand structural screws are key for the angle cross screws at the front. 4-6” GRK structural screws to hold the 90 bracket on the front. Leave enough room for your chain with hook 🪝 to fit through it. I have a 5/16” chain permanent to it with a removable chain link repair section.
Cut the front of the 4x4 at a roundabout 55 degrees 📐. I started the cut back further so it left a solid 2” on either side as a strong blunt nose.
Add cross boards and secure them with 3” GRK screws.
The trick to longevity for mine is the Oak runners under the cross boards. I pulled them from a pallet.
It’s really easy to build once you have the components.
You will will love it and your life will be so easy you will wonder how you got by without it.
