SnowDogg Gen 2 Plow Changes Explained
So, what’s changed for 2018/2019 and SnowDogg Gen2 plows?
- Easier to use Prop Feet – designed for use with the updated QuickMount II system
- New Stacking Stop – allow maximum stacking while preventing damage to the lift cylinder base
- Improved Chain Lift – No chain clips required
- Updated QuickMount II
- Updated Jack Switch
- Reinforced and improved light bar assembly
Ok, but what’s actually different about the “Updated QuickMount II”?
The updated QuickMount II allows the lift frame height to be adjusted while the plow is off the truck.
- The ability to raise the plow compensates for soft ground, different truck mount heights, etc. and controls how much the lift frame tilts forward – meaning easier remounting and less potential interference with truck bumper trim, air dams, etc.
- A jack switch is located on the lift frame so the user doesn’t need to return to the truck cab to adjust plow height.
Does the switch affect the hydraulics and wiring installation?
No, the switch is pre-installed into existing wiring on the plow-side and no additional hydraulics or wiring are necessary. The switch engages the Up/Down functions of the controller – so it is just a convenience for the operator so they don’t have to go back to the truck cab.
Can a 2017 Generation II plow be updated to 2018 Generation II Plow?
YES – All new components on the 2018 plows are backwards compatible. For convenience two upgrade kits are available. You can just update the mechanical components with SnowDogg Part # 3039461, or you can also add the switch kit with SnowDogg Part # 3039678 or SnowDogg Part # 3039788
