A side plow assembly for an automotive vehicle, particularly a lightweight vehicle such as a ligthweight truck, pick-up or like vehicle, and then particularly a four-wheel drive vehicle. The assembly includes a plow share mounted on one side of the vehicle. Seen in the normal direction of travel of the vehicle, the front end of the plow share is pivotally connected to the vehicle chassis by joint means. The rear part of the share, as seen in the travel direction, is connected to a rear chassis part by means of an elongated bracing means whose length can be varied for adjustment of the angle of the side share in the horizontal plane relative to the travel direction. The bracing means is also pivotally connected to the chassis. The assembly also includes a lifting device which is connected between the plow share and the vehicle and functions to lift the share away from a ground surface and to lower the share into contact with the ground surface respectively.
