I've owned a Hitch-N-Plow from Bob Schmidt for 3 years now, I know all it's little quirks. Bob says NOT to push snow with it, you can take that to the bank because you will either break the cable on the winch, or break the hitch-N-plow right where the single tube goes into the "Y". I've broken mine 3 times (easily fixed with some steel and a welder), once this winter and it was from pushing going backwards. I'm running a 1500lb MasterLock ATV winch, it works well but I've replaced 3 winches in 3 years and the MasterLock seems to hold up the best (Walmart...$75 out the door). I do keep a spare winch on the shelf because if it does FAIL, you're not plowing without it. I bought a wireless remote to run the winch which isn't expensive, and I'm not running wires from the winch to the inside of the cab to control the winch. Bob says up to a 6ft blade, I'm now running a 7ft on the back of a 2013 Ford F-150 4x4, last year I ran a 6ft plow but replaced it last summer with a 7ft. As mentioned in this thread, having a place to deposit the displaced snow is a MUST. I clear my drive and all of my front yard in the beginning. As winter progresses, I fill my front yard with displaced snow. Last year by winters end, I was just started running out of yard because of displaced snow. In my opinion, the design is a solid concept and works as advertised as long as you follow Bob's directions for use to the letter. It is built with LIGHT steel square tubing, but is welded together very solid. I don't like the fact that the winch is SLOW in raising and lowering the blade, but it's better than buying a $4000.00+ plow for my truck. If all you're going to do is move snow or grade a long drive, no problem. If you hit a solid object of any kind, it will break so just keep that in mind. You do have to LEARN how to use it as well. If your plow vehicle nose goes down in a dip, the blade will go up unless you spool out enough cable on the winch so the blade will float across the ground with the rises and dips. This adds time when you have to raise the plow because you have to spool in the excess cable before the blade starts to rise. I do like mine, and it performed great last year when I had a massive amounts of snowfall. Another tip, angle the rear view mirrors to observe the blade. My 7ft plow sticks out 1ft on each side of my truck so I can see it. The 6ft plow, I couldn't see it behind my F-150, but I could see it behind my Ford Ranger.
Not for the owner of the new gizzmo, but for those seeing the results.
