Considering a similar setup myself. The new Boss UTV Power-V XT blade appears to be hard to beat. Althought it is $$$. My local JD dealer is also a BOSS dealer and they highly recommend it.

The V would be nice if you're doing sidewalks and very narrow areas...I just don't see the cost benefit for doing diveways vs a standard power angle.

I don't know if my reasoning was correct, but I bought the V-plow for the first pass through deep snow on the unpaved areas of my property back to where the chickens and and firewood live, without having to fight the snow trying to steer me away from the side I was piling it on. After the first pass, I make two more, pushing it back farther to allow room for future snowfalls. With lighter snows I use it configured as a standard blade.

The Power V is really nice. It is also really heavy, so keep that in mind. I have seen average prices on this from $3500-3800. The JD PowerTach plow is around $2400 and has a little better hydraulic performance and is lighter. It is also a straight blade. I really like the BOSS setup too, but wonder in my application whether I can justify the extra $1K or so for how sporadic our snowfalls can be. According the Jamie at BOSS, the Gator can really move one of these plows. When they were testing apparently they found these UTVs to be faster than trucks in some cases; thus the reason for marketing such nice plows for essentially a niche market.

That's perfect for your application...I'm just referring to driveways....I never really had a need for anything beyond a standard blade...Although, the power angle I have now should be a significant convenience. Pretty expensive, but convenient.

Yeah, we're in agreement. I wouldn't have bought the v-plow if i was just doing my driveways.
Anyone got a price on the power angle Boss V? It wasn't available when i bought the Deere plow, and, although I've designed a power angle conversion for mine, I can't find the time to actually start fabbing it. I'm actually thinking now of just building a "quick-change" for it, where it's still manual but I don't have to pull a clip, pull a pin, line up and insert the pin, reinstall the clip, then repeat on the other side.

The ability to configure the V plow in a scoop would be great to have on driveways as well. Once you get past the initial cost there's really no downside to having a V plow.

I just got a quote today on the Power-V from the local JD dealer. They quoted me $3,699 installed on a XUV. That is with the BOSS SmartHitch 2 setup. A lot of coin unless you are doing this commercially. I can't justify it right now.
