UTV's and ATV's general discussion.

I'll have photos of a December mowing job at a warehouse this weekend. Latest mow I've ever completed!

Got my cheap Chinese ATV snow blower somewhat functional again. Moved some snow banks back with it. Disassembled, all internal electrical connections and cleaned with Emory cloth, electronic cleaner, and liberal amounts of dielectric grease, plus various dry lubricants so discharge hute rotates again. Definitely not worth the money if you can't tinker with it or in heavy snow areas and due to the weight, tire chains and extra weight are useful if for some reason you went this route.

Glad someone tried it, and thanks for reporting on your experience with it.

I'm sticking with the plow on my Honda Pioneer 520. The rear-mount snowblower on my tractor with the loader on the front is great for the really heavy snows, but I wanted something faster for the lighter storms.

Yeah I definitely put some time, scrap steel in reinforcement of the mounting plate and frame reinforcement of blower itself, price has went up substantially since i bought it several yrs ago. Even a bigger 4 wheeler 700 cc is to small to utilize it like I initially thought. It does throw snow a decent distance though until you try and clear deeper snow, can't count how many times I stalled it in deeper snow worst is when you slide off initial cleared path and your back dragging in deep snow with blower frame, definitely need to be aware at all times of what your trying to do and clear with that blower and ATV setup. I think somewhere on a different thread I posted what I tried to do to make it better with some minor success.

How many do you own?

How many do you own?

We own one atv, which is a 6x6. I have used many versions over the years not owned by us. I used them at my job.

All the different pictures had me wondering.

Another trip with the Mule and trailer to pick up some firewood cut in the pasture reclamation project. Followed a flock of about 15 turkeys out to the work area. Pick shows the last of them escaping over the neighbor's wooden bridge.
