My wife wants me to outfit our RTV900 with a front snow blade. I looked into it a bit and saw many posts here about various steel blades, but she is dead set against a standard blade/winch because 1) she wants something lighter and simpler that even she can use in a pinch and 2)she does not want to gouge up our new 900 foot asphalt driveway. I saw both a DRpower video and one from agricover, which I think is the same unit, that she likes. It is a 14 inch tall aluminum blade, available in a 66 inch width to cover the RTV wheelbase width, that attaches to the front hitch, and pushes the snow when you drive forward and releases automatically and slides when you back up, so no up and down needed. I told her I thought it was too expensive for what it was, and may not clean the snow down to the pavement, which means we will get an icy layer on the inclines after we drive back and forth a few times.
I am ready to deal with the cost, since marriage is about compromise, but will the thing work? I know we all have ideas about this, heck, I am skeptical, too, but I would like to hear from anyone who actually has used one. How well do they clean the snow? Check out the videos on youtube if you want to know what I am talking about.... search youtube on redi plow
Thanks much!
