Delta Plow foldable snow plow, mounted on a rear trailer hitch, is available for sale or license: (patent pending)

The adjustable-width Delta configuration allows the Delta Plow to clear a higher volume of snow with less power and traction than is required to clear snow with a  forward-mounted or rear-mounted straight blade plow." 

The working prototype has proven that the Delta Plow foldable snow plow works VERY well:

This wooden prototype was successfully tested in 32 inches of snow during "Snowmageddon" in 2009. The inventor attached it  with a chain to his Hummer H2 to partially clear a 230-foot driveway, allowing his wife's car to navigate the driveway. The additional downforce provided by the spring-loaded mount allows for complete clearing.

Problem:
Traditional snow plows are front-mounted and require expensive, permanent hardware to be mounted on the vehicle. Many vehicles cannot mount traditional snow plows because mounting hardware is not available for all vehicles.

Solution:
The Delta Plow can mount on any vehicle with a trailer hitch and allows any four-wheel drive vehicle owner to plow. Unlike traditional front-mounted plows, the Delta Plow is easily installed by one person, then folded away for easy storage. Click here to see the powerpoint

Description:
Foldable, lightweight aluminum snowplow weighs less than 75 pounds and attaches to the standard trailer hitch and allows a property owner to clear snow and ice from a paved surface using any vehicle, 4WD specifically. The Delta Plow can be installed by one person and eliminates the need for professional installation of a front bolt on, vehicle-specific plow and adaptor system. Production cost will be approximately $75 - $150. Approximate retail: $500, allowing for healthy profit margins.

Sliding lateral support adjusts width of blade deployment:


Shock absorber:

A hand crank (possible motorized operation) adjusts the deployment of the blade:
