Planning to make a quick release one out of angle iron and a UHMW shovel if needed, should be less than ~$100.

I thought about it, but I have a plow for my ATV that would be sufficient if the snowblower can’t handle the snow. It’s what I’ve used for the last 4 seasons. I only got my Yarbo last week, and we already had a few inches of super heavy wet snow. The Yarbo snow blower went through it without issue (though it did get the auger stuck in one area because I forgot to set the speed to “turbo”). I feel like I’d only need the plow in the very rare times we get some crazy heavy snow and the end of the driveway is buried.

That’s one of the reasons I didn’t order the plow. It isn’t quick release. I don’t see myself going out and playing with screws to install it.

I have it and I have a love hate relationship with it because of the screws to attach it. It is not fun trying to line those holes up and get those screws in while standing out in the cold. Especially if you haven’t already removed the protection fence. They really need to fully embrace tooless and quick attach for everything.

Dang. Yeah I thought it clipped on the safety grill.

That would be handy. I ended up removing the protection fence. It just blocks the snow intake and they bend with too much snow.

Good to know. I’ll take them off.

I was wondering if there was a magnet that wood be good to hold the plow on. Since it’s not like it should get pulled off with use

It possibly could during its unstuck maneuvers. But that would certainly be handy for attaching it and lining everything up for the screws. Not that I’m advocating for keeping those.

I was thinking over‑center latches would be a good design choice.

Please advice how to use Plow Mode for L shaped area (with only 2 sides open, 2 side are closed by building). On the map it shows arrows to the opposite sides during Plow mode. How do you handle scenario where only 1 side is open (from 2)?
I am not willing to plow against the building as this is main entry and another side is garage door. I need kind of plow mode with 90 degree smooth turn (L shape movement) or plow only to one side (direction).

I haven’t put my plow on yet to see how it maps and what functions are available. You may have to draw sidewalks next to each other to cover L of the driveway.

Or divide the area into 2 separate areas. If you have the snow blower on, you can just set it to plow mode in settings without having the snow blade on and see how it plans the routes.

I need to test how real plan works. I did exactly as you mentioned, enabled Plow Mode just on Snowblower to setup map and settings for Plow mode.
Issue is not about area size but about the direction of Plow. In Plow mode you need to setup direction and direction is show as 2 arrows to the opposite sides, but I would like to use only direction to 1 side or to 2 sides with L turn. I understand that Yarbo somehow should get to the starting point. I will test more and will try to figure out.
I need to get snow to the right side on the image, the same direction as snow blower direction marked yellow on the map. Maybe I need something similar as Reverse Blowing for the blower, kind of Reverse Plowing 
Yarbo Plows to one side, returns backwards on the same line and continues with the next lines.

With that snow plow line set to the right only, what does the preview show for the pattern?
