having snow plow installed

We are looking at a used snow plow to fit my Ford Ranger.
We priced instalation at $350-400. Plow is only $200/
Does this instalation charge sound right to you. Blade is winch type, not electric.
Also is $200 good price for the plow?

Can't be much of a plow for $200. I guess the install is all fabricate from scratch and wire in the winch.

If this is not a power angle plow I'd hold off until I could find a more modern one that was hydraulic lift with power angle. I found a Meyer 7.5' plow & pump for $150 and fabricated the mount for the truck. I couldn't imagine plowing without the power angle feature.
