I got a snow plow just before we traded in the Tacoma for the Lightning. But it's been a dry winter (we're about 50 inches below normal) and we haven't had a need for it yet. Last night I finished setting it up for the Lighting's rear tow hitch. We got a few inches, maybe 3-5, of snow last night, so I had the opportunity to try it out. It works wonderfully. Previously I would plow the quarter mile driveway with the tractor and it would take a couple of hours and I'd damage the gravel road no matter how careful I was. Today it took about 20 minutes. I still don't have it perfectly dialed in.
If you have experience backing up trailers, this is pretty easy. It's not as easy as plowing with a front-facing plow, but whatever. Live life for the adventure.
I had to get a drop hitch for it. And I had to cut about a half inch off the plow's hitch mount attachment to fit that cheap drop hitch. Not really an issue. I still have some dialing in on the standoffs and I will probably mount a PVC pipe to the plow blade so I don't tear up the gravel road too much when I get the height wrong. But overall, this works wonderfully.
