Folding wing plow

Abstract

The present invention relates to a snow plow assembly for a vehicle comprising a snow plow frame that is attachable to an associated vehicle. The snow plow blade is attachable to the snow plow frame and has a snow plow surface for use in plowing associated snow. An end gate is pivotally attached to at least one distal end of the snow plow blade. The end gate has a snow plow surface for use in plowing associated snow. A hydraulically operable adjustment mechanism is operatively attached to the snow plow blade and the end gate. The adjustment mechanism releasably secures the end gate in at least three different positions relative to the snow plow blade. A pivotally connected stop assembly means is operably attached to the snow plow blade and the end gate by a hydraulically operable adjustment mechanism.

1 . A snow plow assembly for a vehicle comprising:
 a snow plow frame that is attachable to an associated vehicle;   a snow plow blade that is attachable to the snow plow frame and that has a snow plow surface for use in plowing associated snow, the snow plow blade comprising upper and lower edges and first and second ends;   an end gate pivotally attached to at least one distal end of the snow plow blade and that has a snow plow surface for use in plowing associated snow;   a hydraulically operable adjustment mechanism that is operatively attached to the snow plow blade and the end gate, the adjustment mechanism releasably secures the end gate in at least three different positions relative to the snow plow blade;   a pivotally connected stop assembly means that is operably attached to the snow plow blade and the end gate by a hydraulically operable adjustment mechanism.
