QUICK + EASY DIY Steel Snow Plow Pipe : Damage Free Plowing!!

Snow plow pipes are used when plowing the ground before it has froze. Most plows have a sharp edge and will tear up the ground if not careful. This pipe eliminates that problem. This is a steel fabricated pipe that attaches to the snow plow and also has a place on top of the plow for storage.

CLEVER ... very clever. Nicely done. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

I live on a private road and my plow always tears it up until the ground freezes. And with our crazy weather patterns it doesn't freeze up most seasons. I thought about using the shoe holes to hold it in the slot similar to how you have it. Then I could just unpin the shoe links and store it on another set of hole brackets on top.
Great system you have by the way!
Thanks for sharing

Sweet!

Amazing job! I have been using plastic pvc pipe on the blade of my ATV snowplow, love it and works amazingly on a gravel driveway, but the pvc pipe gets bridle and breaks with the cold so easy, I’ve gone through 3pipes already and it’s only February! I definitely have to start on this!

[@rickfeaker5911]

Try a piece of 2 inch water pipe or plastic gas main pipe

Cool deal

Im doing this right now. Thanks for the video, made my life easier

[@kingtut5923]

Very smooth idea i welded mine on

[@toddtrautman7734]

I cringed every time you threw the pin on the hood. 🙂

[@user-sm9mh2fo9l]

😂😂😂😂 💯

[@jaredallen1149]

Genius.
Well done!

[@stevehutchinson238]

I’m so making one of these! Genius!

[@roadglide1142]

If you’d market that system you’d make millions!

[@gordbaker896]

Very Well Done Sir! Did you cut the slot with a Grinder? A torch would have likely distorted the Pipe. Sched 40 2"?

[@michaelbierlein5642]

Slick

[@parneypots]

Ingenious

[@theroofsedge]

Nice job. What size pipe? Nevermind, 2" as stated below.

[@blueglide1]

Ingenious!!

[@dginta7932]

Wow. Nice.

[@TR1CKSHOTS31]

That looks awesome but you didn’t show the other side. What does the the hook think hold on too? Driver side you got the pin that slides in then you attach the safety pin . But the other side you welded something to the blade to keep the hook thing attached while plowing?

[@Springdalecottage]

I removed the carriage bolt and replaced it with a hex head bolt and I welded a nut to the top of the bolt.

[@wdrdiyman1674]

Looks pretty neat !! Am going to try it on my 8-foot plow. Didn't see any detail on the mount at the bottom of the blade on the left side...facing the plow. Or did I miss it ?? Wall thickness of the 2-inch pipe ? Creative solution !!

[@Springdalecottage]

I removed the carriage bolt, replaced it with a regular hex head bolt and welded an extra nut to the head of the bolt for extra depth. Then I welded a plate to the pipe with a slot that slides over the bolt head. Thanks for watching!

[@D2500R]

Do you have a video of how well this works while plowing? Like to see it in action. Thinking about doing this to my front tractor snow plow.

[@Springdalecottage]

We don’t have a video, sorry. But when we get some snow we can definitely do that! Thanks for watching!

[@D2500R]

@@Springdalecottage I literally just cut a slot and welded a 2" pipe on the bottom of my plow yesterday.

[@Terk131]

I have the pipe behind the blade and mount it with 2 tabs where the shoes go this way its on and off. Been doing this for 25 years.

[@D2500R]

@@Terk131 so it does well though? Some people say it will leave too much snow. I wish now I had done what you did. That was a great idea.

[@Terk131]

@@D2500R it cleans awesome, back blades awesome, no complaints at all AND it saves the gravel and grass areas. Guys that put it on the blade have some problems but I used 3" pipe and mount it where the feet would go and keep the actual cutting edge ¼ - ½ off the ground. Wish I could send you a pic.

[@michaelchaoticreason5059]

What size pipe did you use? 2”? Schedule 40?

[@Springdalecottage]

Yes 2”

[@craig4926]

looks like schd 10

[@bryanwanek46]

You sir, are an absolute genius! I have a Hiniker V-plow and a gravel driveway. Does this prevent pushing your gravel into the yard?

[@Springdalecottage]

Thank you! Yes, this makes a smooth plow.

[@bryanwanek46]

Thanks for the reply. Going to try this on my Hiniker. Tired of having to power broom half the driveway out of the yard in the spring. Love your quick on and off single pin design.

[@ericjohnson5665]

What size pipe

[@Springdalecottage]

2”

[@dginta7932]

Nice job. Did you use an angle grinder to slice the pipe?

[@Springdalecottage]

Thanks! No I used a cut off saw but an angle grinder would work.

[@Lasersgoespewpew]

What fid u use to cut the line across

[@Springdalecottage]

It’s a gas powered concrete cut off saw with a fiber blade for cutting steel.

[@Springdalecottage]

You can use an angle grinder with a fiber wheel.

[@martymartin7146]

What size pipe is it?

[@Springdalecottage]

Hi, it’s 2”. I apologize, I didn’t see this comment until now.

[@cryptoglenn]

Id be concerned with the bite not being as good.

[@Springdalecottage]

It scrapes down well. I only use it until the ground freezes. Thanks for watching!

[@cdayejr]

Never job
