WESTERN plow installation starts with your setup
For snow contractors and property operators across the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver, the right plow enquiry starts with the vehicle and the route. A Langley acreage driveway, an Aldergrove yard and an Abbotsford parking lot can present different access, manoeuvring and snow-storage requirements.
Talk to Durand at Full Flow Hydraulics in Aldergrove about the installation work you need. Bring the exact vehicle details, the proposed or existing plow, and a description of the job. Full Flow confirms its assessment, installation scope, sourcing arrangements and availability directly.
This is the opening guide in Kong’s WESTERN installation series. It explains the product families and mounting terminology so the first conversation can be specific. Manufacturer features below are attributed to WESTERN; they are not a claim that Kong tested the equipment or that every model suits your vehicle.
The WESTERN lineup, broken down
Use these families to narrow the conversation. WESTERN’s current comparison tool lists the models below; selection still requires the exact vehicle match and applicable installation information.[1]
01 / Lighter-vehicle straight blades
DEFENDER and HTS. WESTERN positions DEFENDER for selected Jeeps and midsize pickups, and HTS for selected half-ton trucks. A vehicle category is a starting point, not approval for every truck within it.[2] Explain whether you are clearing your own property or operating a customer route.
02 / Commercial straight blades
PRO-PLOW 3, PRO PLUS and PRO PLUS HD. These are distinct straight-blade choices in the current range.[1] Ask which configuration is appropriate for your truck, working area and access restrictions. Do not assume that the largest available blade is the right installation.
03 / V-plow choices
ENFORCER, MVP PLUS and MVP 3. These are the V-plow families to compare.[1] Discuss the manoeuvres on your route, where you need to place snow, and the space available to turn. Review each actual model’s controls, operating instructions and vehicle eligibility before choosing.
04 / Winged and adjustable options
PRODIGY, WIDE-OUT and WIDE-OUT XL. PRODIGY uses wings that reposition automatically as the plow angles; WIDE-OUT models offer powered adjustable wings.[3] The useful question is how that configuration fits your sites—not an assumed number of minutes saved.

MATCH THE TRUCK.THEN THE BLADE.
Start with the vehicle details and the work your route actually needs.
The quick-mount system: UltraMount 2
The name to use for this system is UltraMount 2. WESTERN describes a mechanical attachment system designed for quick installation and removal. Its documented features include:[4]
- A rotating pivot bar: designed to keep the attachment points level when the blade is not level, helping drive-in alignment.
- Flared receiver brackets: provide the drive-in attachment interface.
- Removable receiver brackets: can be removed without tools to improve off-season ground clearance.
The practical appeal is straightforward: attaching a plow should be a repeatable part of getting ready for work. Alignment and the ability to remove receivers are useful things to discuss when comparing setups. Actual attachment performance depends on the equipment, its condition and following the correct instructions; this guide promises no hookup time.
Initial installation and routine attachment are different jobs. Preparing the truck-side mount, wiring and controls is not the same as connecting an already compatible plow before a shift. Have the installer establish the correct configuration and explain the applicable attachment and inspection procedure.
Quick Match checks fitment; it is not the mount
Quick Match is WESTERN’s vehicle-fitment selector.[1] Use the vehicle’s exact information, then have the proposed installation checked against the appropriate instructions and vehicle limits. A familiar model name or similar-looking receiver is not enough to approve a transfer.
Not every WESTERN model or generation uses the same attachment and electrical configuration. For an existing plow, provide its model and serial number, photos of the truck-side and plow-side connections, and any installation paperwork. Do not assume that a used plow can move to another truck without additional parts or changes.

What to send Durand before booking
Vehicle: year, make, model, configuration and identification details requested by the installer.
Plow: desired model, or the existing model and serial plate.
Existing setup: clear photos of mounts, electrical connections and controller.
Work: driveway, yard or customer route, with access and snow-placement constraints.
Location and timing: your town, required readiness date, and whether you need pickup arrangements.
Ask for an installation scope that identifies what is included, which components are being supplied, what can be reused and what must be replaced. Confirm parts fitment, estimate, scheduling and commissioning before the job is booked. For product warranty or authorised-dealer requirements, obtain the relevant manufacturer or dealer guidance.
Parts and preseason attention belong in the plan
If the enquiry includes a plow already in service, describe the actual concern: attachment difficulty, a warning, visible damage or a change in movement. Send existing observations and photographs rather than repeatedly operating a faulty setup to reproduce the problem.
Have inspection and service performed using the correct model and serial-range documents. Keep people clear of moving equipment and follow the manufacturer’s shutdown and support instructions. This guide is a booking and selection resource, not a mounting, hydraulic-repair or wiring procedure.

WESTERN installation: quick answers
Is Quick Match the quick-attach mounting system?
No. Quick Match is the vehicle-fitment selector. UltraMount 2 is a mounting-system name. Confirm the actual mount used by the model you are considering.
Can I transfer a WESTERN plow to a different truck?
Have the exact truck, plow, mounting generation, wiring and controls assessed. Do not assume compatibility from the brand name alone.
Can I arrange pickup for installation?
Ask Durand about pickup options from your location. Confirm transport, loading access, charges and availability directly before booking.
