ATV Snowplow?

[RobA]

Does anyone have a snowplow on their ATV? Recommendations?

I have a plow for my tractor but thought about an ATV snowplow for lighter snowfalls and tighter spaces.

This is what I use and it works great. Grizzly with a Rhino snow plow. Just plowed after an 8" snowfall with no problem. Easy, fast, and doesn't hurt the blacktop drive.

An ATV with a plow is an excellent choice for getting rid of light to moderate snowfalls up to 8 inches or so. It is also a lot of fun............

You may want to look at "Moose" plows also.I have had a ATV with a plow for 15 years.They have their place for sure.

Hand lift? Electric lift? Winch lift? (I do not currently have a winch on my ATV)

We have two set-up,a Kawasaki Praire 400 with a manual lift and a Yamaha Grizzley with a winch.......I prefer the manual myself.

ATV plows can do the job well. It's been my primary method of snow removal for my parent's place for many years. Old Suzuki LT4WD. Plow was a manual lift until I rigged an actuator to lift it. Works pretty well until the snow is either too deep or hard packed.

I had a manual lift on my previous atv. It was a bit awkward to use but I got used to it. The winch I have now is much easier but you have to be careful. There is no limiter to shut off the winch when the blade gets to full up travel.

I had a Swisher plow on my Traxter -- it was ok for clearing in front of the garage but not great for the long laneway (1/4 mile plus). unit "clipped" on to a frame mount that I left on all the time. Raised and lowered by winch. In comparison to a three point blade or blower -- well there just isn't a comparison. Sold the blade and mount this year after not using it for a couple of winters. Oh yeah -- had to weld new brackets on the blade -- sheared them off in short order on the long driveway plow. Also had to buy chains to get enough omphh to push any kind of snow.

I have a Cycle Country snow plow on my Yamaha Rhino. I plow a 2.5 mile road/driveway with it at times. other deeper snow I use my Kubota MX5100. I eventually wore out the mounting holes on the blade itself. Mostly from excessive use. So, I called Cycle Country to try and order just the plow, no push tubes or plow frame.

I explained the problem and they took my address and simply sent me a whole new plow (with the frame!) at no charge. i was fully willing to pay for the part since i was the one that wore it out but they didn't hesitate to send it for free.
