Howdy Burgenlander,
I don't know of anyone doing that for the ML. But attachments can be adjusted to fit. Is the ML a unibody or does it have a frame?¿ I don't know what they can attach to on a unibody. Things that you might want to consider are: You will need hydralics. Counter weight ( How many bales of hay will your significant other let you throw in that nice ML) The smaller the blade the less c/w.If no c/w is alowed then you might consider a snowshovel and duct tape from Walmart Also you may need to beef up the suspension. Lastly but not least is how much damage are you willing to live with?¿ Moving the snow is the easy part, it's those hidden things that bite. LOL. Hope this was of some use. Where there is a will there is a way. Good luck in your search.

A plow on an ML is a REALLY bad idea. The plowing will absolutely destroy the unibody. You would also likely have to alter the front bumper cover, etc. etc. Find yourself and old Ford or Chevy 3/4 ton pick-up with a plow on it. Save the ML for what it was intended, getting groceries. Or you could get a four wheeler with a plow if a driveway is all you need to clear.
