In order to calculate the amount of weight any

front accessory, such as a snow plow, is adding to

the front axle, use the following formula:

(W x (A + W.B.)) /W.B.= Weight the accessory is

adding to the front axle.

Where:

W = Weight of added accessory

A = Distance that the accessory is in front of the

front axle

W.B. = Vehicle Wheelbase

For example, adding a 700 lb (318 kg) snow plow

actually adds more than 700 lbs (318 kg) to the

front axle. Using the formula, if the snow plow

is 4 ft (122 cm) in front of the front axle and the

wheel base is 10 ft (305 cm), then:

W = 700 lb (318 kg)

A = 4 ft (122 cm)

W.B. = 10 ft (305 cm)

(W x (A + W.B.))/W.B. = (700 x (4 + 10))/10 =

980 lbs (445 kg)

So, if your vehicle’s front axle reserve capacity is

more than 980 lbs (445 kg), you could add the

snow plow without exceeding the front GAWR.
