Arps' Blackhawk Snow Plow

UPDATE: This post from 2013 originally consisted of a brochure from eBay, but for this update I've added some additional brochures and Tom's video showing how he uses the Blackhawk snow plow in Northern Wisconsin. The Arps Corportation manufactured these plows out of New Holstein, Wisconsin. Near the end of the video he shows how he mounts the plow and manual adjusts the angle using a chain.
