Abstract: A low cost plow lift and down pressure system comprising a lift frame having a lift end and a mount end for securing to a plow vehicle. A lever beam articulates with a lift end of the lift frame. The system further comprises a; lift tension line, down pressure tension line, hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, push frame, down pressure arm, and plow. A push frame extends between a plow and a lift frame. A lift tension line extends between a plow receiver near the plow and a lift receiver on the lever beam. A down pressure tension line extends between a first down pressure receiver on the lever beam to a second down pressure receiver located on a down pressure arm that is coupled to the push frame. Active extension and retraction of a first hydraulic cylinder causes consequent raising of the plow and plow down pressure.
