    Who's got one? Do you like it? What would you order different? What size ATV?

    I'm thinking this is another way I can repay my landowners for their kindness.

    Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    well i don't have one.... but my neighbors buddy has one. i gave him some ground venison and a steak, and anytime we get alot of snow he flys over and does both our driveways in like 10 minutes. both our drives are 25-30 yards long and regular width. i think it's awesome. if you can afford a plow to add to an atv you already own i think it's completely worth it, for your drive and the landowners

    BBM....

    That site's hard to navigate.....lol. I can't find IF they make a mount for my Suzuki (Eiger 400) OR the price (if they do).

    The blades are reasonable enough.

    I have the Cycle Country 54" on my 400 Honda. Makes quick work of my driveway and yard. 10X faster than the old blade on my Lawn Mower. Connect 2 pins underneath and hook up the strap to your rack and you're ready to go. I have the lever lifter.

    My dad has the same 4wheeler as you. I'll find out tomorrow what plow he has on his. I know he loves it whatever it is

    I also Want one, with the recent 2 snows here, and a 3rd on the way this weekend, It's pretty easy to justify the purchase, but as of now, I'm rolling with the Massey Ferguson 240. :D

    I'll have one for the RZR very soon myself. On my list of things to buy is a winch and snow plow.

    Getting ready for the big snow this weekend? I've heard a few reports of up to 41" here, so far.

    My Honda 300 4x4 atv was too light to plow snow. (I'm talking real snow.... 12" and over)

    Tried it.. Fail.

    Yeh the news reporters on WDBJ7 laughed about that.... they said it was way to early to tell, and channel 10 wsls said he would venture to say 4-8" but was still too early to say.

    But seriously could you imagine 41" of snow?


    Jeff, do you have a Winch? If you do, this here isn't bad at all...

    I have a Honda 300 also. Once it snows a few times or one big snow... it gets parked for the winter. I can imagine how pathetic it would be with a blade unless the snow was pure fluff which doesn't happen to often here.

    I can get the Warn (brand) for $369 (package that includes the mounting kit). SInce I already have the winch, that's all I'd need.

    Gonna give this a hard look.

    I DO like the Moose brand. But the $$ aren't even close.

    I love my Suzuki Vinson with the 54" Cycle Country, but I believe my next rig will be a RZR. The 1300 pound towing and it's manuverablity has me sold. Now I just have to sell the wife on the price tag. On subject though, I think that cycle country is one of the few that actually advertise their plows to be able to push gravel as well. I know mine has taken a pounding.

    I just ordered a plow today, 50" Plow, push frame, and bracket(ordered separately) totaled out to $288.

    Jeff, I'm not sure if the push frame is universal, but I was thinking it is, if you could get a mounting plate for yours, I think he had one more in stock... $243 TYD (plow and frame)
    Arctic Cat brand though, if you would like to inquire I have their number. He had some tapered in stock also for a few dollars more.

    At that price, that is a steal.

    The Warn package you found isn't a bad price either, they're probably all metal too, the one I ordered is metal backed with Polycarbonite blade and metal wear plate at the bottom(part that does the actual "scraping")

    X2 (I like the idea of a UTV, but not the price).

    As for the plow, I've been toying with the idea of getting one for my Big Bear. Warn was at the top of my list as well based on the few reviews I've read.

    I'm a Moose man.

    Just gotta get my ATV over there for the installation.

    Thanks for everyone's help.

    Jeff get a roll over type plow. Something you can roll the snow not just slide it, you will appriciate that in big snowfalls.
