    the plow actually goes up and down but not side to side as of yet i used pvc pipe to make the plow and some scrap metal to make the arms that hold the plow and allow it to go up and down. its nothing special but i used a remote from a rc car that didnt work and the battery pack out of the car to make it go up and down
