A combination plow and claw assembly is provided which is attached to a vehicle. The assembly is used for plowing a surface and/or for clawing a surface wherein the function of the combination plow and claw assembly can be easily changed by an operator of the vehicle during operation of the assembly so that a plowing function can be obtained when the vehicle is moved forward and a clawing function obtained when the vehicle is moved backward. In one aspect, the assembly employs a rotatable pipe support member axially disposed within a first elongated horizontal support member wherein a plow and claw plate is fixedly secured to the rotatable member. In use, the plow and claw plate is rotated upward or downward depending on the function desired. In another aspect of the invention, a conventional plow is modified to provide a combination plow and claw assembly for plowing a surface or clawing a surface wherein an elongated support member is rotatably attached to the conventional plow and a claw plate is fixedly secured to the support member. When the elongated horizontal support member is rotated, the claw plate likewise rotates and when the assembly is used as a plow, the claw plate is rotated to an upward plow position and when the assembly is used as a claw, the claw plate is rotated in a downward position so that the unsecured end of the claw plate is proximate the surface being clawed.
