A friend/neighbour had a couple samurai's with Meyer 6.5' electric/hydraulic snowplow(back the late 80's/early 90's they made a kit), the first after the first year plowing, he did a SPOA with an extra leaf in the front to help support the weight of the plow, he sold it a few years later, and replaced it with a fuel injected model, imediatly did a SPOA with extra leaf, and mounted a new same model plow. He plowed with them for several years, about 150-200 driveways per snowstorm, it was excellent for small driveways, cause it could get in tight places that a full size couldn't, plus the lightweight plow made less of a mess with the gravel driveways, where a big heavy 8' plow will rip the crap out of it.  Someone else I know has a new Diamond 6.5' on a Tracker, I don't know what kit he used, but it looks like a Blazer kit, he needed to do some work in the front of the tracker to mount the lift frame. He says it works well, and it doesn't sag the front too much when he lifts the plow, and it's stock. There's also a couple around with the snowbear plows, but they're winch driven and manual angle and a lot less money.

I run 2 different plow setups on my samurai's, I have a 7ft western and a snowbear plow, the western is awesome with the hydro and the snowbear is good also.the snowbears you can pickup at loews or home depot for about $1200 with the mounting hardware, they are nice with and electric up and down but you have to manually move it side to side but it is real easy. now the western is a little harder to mount and is double the price.I am getting rid of my snowbear if you know anyone that wants a complete bolt on plow setup for a samurai for less than half price let me know I am 40 miles west of chicago.

Main Street Chevy in Kansas City, MO had a Sammi with a plow on it for their lot. They closed last year. Weird one day I drive by and 50+ cars and trucks on their lot, next day ALL gone.

Hey Ack-
Call Darryl the service manager at Major Caddy. They transferred him up there from Main St. He would probably know.

I wish there was someway to get one of those hydraulic attachment points that will take different tools mounted to the front of a sammy.  Like the one off a john deer 4x4 garden tractor.
 There was also a 4x4 gator type vehicle that had an attacment point but kept a more jeep like body, cant remember what it is.

Anyway, with an hydraulic attachment and pump seems like you could do some serious plowing and even have a scoop

Of course there is no reason a samurai needs that.....
