1995 - This was the first year for Hiniker plows. Only
straight plows were manufactured. The plow con-
troller used up/down and left/right rocker switches
to control the moldboard. The under hood harness
had one large relay for switching headlights from
truck to plow. Plugging the plow into the grill con-
nector would cause the headlights to switch to the
plow. The wiring of the under hood harness was
covered by tightly woven, black, webbed loom.
The motor solenoid for this year had three termi-
nals and was mounted out on the plow pump mo-
tor.
1996-99 - Straight plows were manufactured dur-
ing this period, with the V plow being added in
1999. The straight plow controller used a joystick
style switch to control moldboard movements.
The V plow controller used the same joystick style
switch with the addition of two pushbuttons. The
under hood harness had a black box with a fuse
and two relays mounted on it. The wiring consisted
of gray cables. The motor solenoid had three ter-
minals and was mounted under the vehicle hood.
The automatic headlight switching system was re-
placed with a slide switch on the controller and a
power switch was also added.
2000 - Straight, Scoop, V, and C plows were man-
ufactured with the Scoop and C plow being new
for 2000. All four plows use a custom molded,
black plastic case with a joystick style switch and
additional pushbuttons where needed. The under
hood harness has a cluster of three relays for high
beams, low beams, and power switching. The wir-
ing is covered by black plastic corrugated loom.
The motor solenoid is mounted under the hood
and has a separate ground terminal added for a
total of four.
2006 - The V Plow was changed from a Single Act-
ing hydraulic cylinder V plow to a Dual Acting hy-
draulic cylinder V plow. In a Single Acting V plow,
the wings are retracted by having the left and right
retract solenoids bleed off the hydraulic fluid, al
-
lowing the wings to retract under spring tension.
In a Dual Acting V plow, the wings are retracted by
turning on the hydraulic oil pump and having the
left and right retract solenoids route the pumped oil
to the front of the wing cylinders. This causes the
wings to retract under hydraulic pressure rather
than spring tension.
