Snow Plow Rec for UTV

Been looking at plows for my UTV and found this link:

bossplow.com/products/utv

Didn't know that Boss made plows for UTVs. Anyone tried them out?

Didn't know they made them either..They look well built.

I've only had Curtis plows on my RTV's

Here are some pictures from a different PM request.

I have played with one mounted on a Gator. It is one heck of a well built piece of equipment. This Gator had the V-plow on it and I would bet a Franklin that it would stack snow just as high as a truck mounted plow would.

Words of advise, check with your Boss dealer first to see which units it is available for. I signed a purchase agreement 9/13 on a Kubota RTV 1100 and went to order my plow 9/14 and come to find out it is not available for the Kubota RTV 1100 until "maybe" next spring. Don't know what to do now. The only other v-plow on the market that interest me is the Kanlan plow. Doesn't look like that one will stack it very high.

Boss Plows are the best. On another post I recently made, I mentioned I would like to get a Power Angle V Plow 6'6" for my new Gator 825i. It is not available yet, but in the works. I do like the Meyer Plow also, but I do not think they make a power v-angle plow for the UTV. I have used both hydraulic and winch operated plows on UTVs and find the Boss Plows to be tops. I am looking as noted to get another for this reason. The only concern I have about any of these plows is the weight. Most weigh between 300-400# total and unless one has power steering (Polaris EPS, Kubota, or a Unisteer unit) slow speed turning would be a chore.

You may wish to check out "Legend Air Shocks" on You Tube. They have a video showing a Ranger with a Boss Plow mounted with their shock set up and also with tracks. What a plowing machine!!! A good contact at Boss is Jamie, with whom I have spoken in the past. He seems knowledgable and helpful and would tell you first hand if they have a plow now for your application. What UTV do you have??

I should also mention Boss knows its plows are good. They are very expensive, but generally one can deal on them somewhat.

Timswi,

I have the curtis plow just like yours on my RTV1100 2009.

Works great, and I have a hydraulic cyl. for the lift instead of the electric.

Removed the skids as one bent when I tried pushing dirt with it. Plowing on pavement so, don't really need them anyway.

Also removed rubber flap just because I didn't like it when pushing snow it doesn't allow snow to roll in front. And most times snow doesn't come over into the windshield. So makes it lighter.

Only problem is plow should lift higher, so I'm going to have the arms cut and rewelded up about 15 degrees up angle to get more height.

Thanks for all of the great input.

I'm looking for a v-plow, too. I have a Polaris, so from what I've seen on the Boss site I should be able to find a match.

The skids will be coming off of mine too. I put a piece of machine belt across the bottom to keep it from digging into the gravel. This worked on the last one.

Some more lift height would definitly be nice. Not sure what they were thinking with that part of the design.

Was wondering about that top flap..Not sure if I'm going to like that. Will probably remove that too. Need to have the snow roll...800ft or so of private road plus the driveway. Don't want the plow clogging up.

Where did you find a hydro lift?
