Thanks Claudio,
I'm having fun with my ML. It is a great toy to play with in the snow!

Hi Brian,
I found 3 point hitch style 6 ft. wide tractor plow on creigslist for $50, cut off the hitch part and welded on my own 2"x2" lifting device powered with air cylinder to fit my hitch receiver. You can buy these plows for $2,000 to $3,000 with nice hydraulic controls. Side tilt/shift I have to do by hand but up/down control switch is next to my gear shifter and 11 gallon air tank will last about 40-50 lifting cycles. I got many pictures if you are interested in details. 6" lift with chain lock for upper position. Works excellent on my driveway!
Regards, Bernard
