Buyers Part Number: EX85IIR

Buyers Products SnowDogg EXII Snow Plow is an extreme duty straight blade plow for

3/4 ton+ pickups. Punch through heavy, wet snow with ease.

Intensity Halogens are also available.

• Center-mounted drop foot props up your plow on any surface with the pull of a handle •

Hydraulically powered Jack Switch™ adjusts your plow's mounting height on the fly so

it's easy to line up with your vehicle • Connects to your truck with a single driver side foot

pedal

 The tubular steel Floating A-Frame features a sliding-pin connection so the plow

contours the ground for a clean, efficient scrape. Outstanding performance at any

mounting height.

 Four stress-optimized trip springs protect your equipment from hidden curbs and

obstacles. Heavy duty shocks cushion the trip, providing a smooth ride for plow and

driver alike.

plows are built to endure whatever winter throws at you. • Powerful 2 in. lift cylinders •

Over-sized 1-1/2 in. angle cylinders • Fully enclosed 2 HP hydraulic power unit • SAE
