Hello from Southern Maine! I've been thinking about picking up a Carry and adding a plow, however, I wasn't sure how it would handle New England winters. Based on your video, it looks like it moves snow pretty well. Between my tractor with snowblower attachment and a Carry with a plow, I think I'd be all set for winter. Thanks for posting this video.
It takes an ATV size plow in the 2" receiver, very convenient and handles like a dream. You have to plow more often (I wouldn't let it get more than 10" before plowing) with a big storm but these trucks sip gas so you should be good for multiple runs. The 4wd plus diff lock has gotten through anything (unless I bottomed out) and the power to weight ratio is fantastic. Good luck and best wishes!
Awesome. What brand of plow is this? I have a susuki carry as well and I am looking to plow with it. Also wondering if the plow hooks up to a 2" receiver or how it is mounted. Thanks!
This is a Black Line plow, it does slide right into a 2" receiver and quick clips for the power. This unit only has a power actuator for up and down (accessible using a remote in the cab), you have to get out and manually move the plow to right or left as needed. There are units where it is all power via remote. I would recommend getting one that is heavier duty in the same size range; as small as the mini trucks are they still have a lot of power and weight and this plow got beat up pretty good over 4 years. During that time I replaced bolts, reinforced the frame with angle iron, and added trip springs. I stopped using it 4 or 5 winters ago in favor of a full size pickup with plow since my driveway is so long and we get a lot of snow in NH. I do miss plowing with the Suzuki, though; aside from the height limitation it was so responsive and I could plow very close to vehicles. And I barely used any gas all winter. Good luck with yours!

There are two types, 2WD and 4WD.
You must buy mini truck 4WD for this snow work.
2WD is used only for commerce.
You must buy 4WD for farming also.
I have a migraine watching this cameraman work
