Specifically, the Western 27170 Adapter connects your legacy UniMount plow to a modern UltraMount or UltraMount 2 vehicle mount. Western manufactures this conversion kit to improve fleet versatility for professional contractors. Furthermore, this genuine assembly works with Standard, PRO, and 8-foot 6-inch MVP UniMount models.

Consequently, the Western 27170 Adapter simplifies equipment transfers between older and newer vehicles. Additionally, the unit establishes a secure structural connection between the legacy plow frame and the new undercarriage receivers. Therefore, mechanics use this adapter to maintain reliable older equipment during truck rotations. Moreover, this unit excludes compatibility with Sport Utility or Heavyweight models. Overall, the Western 27170 Adapter provides an essential bridge for growing snow removal fleets.
