Jeez, do you want to plow your driveway or start a landscaping
business???

Google "Chevy Colorado snow plow" and educate yourself. There are
plenty of options out there for light-duty, light-weight snow plows
that are easy to hook and unhook. They have quick-attach systems where
you drive up to the plow and drop in a couple of pins to install it,
then remove a couple of pins and back away to uninstall it. No
lifting. No dropping.

You can have them professionally installed. Most people, even the guys
that plow driveways for a living, have them professionally installed.

You don't need to have a heavy duty truck to plow ONE driveway.

....and ballast? You don't know what ballast is? OMFG. Look it up.
