    I appreciate it, Teej. I "think" I did (buy a rollover). I'll try to post a pic of the one I bought (from their website).

    I got the chains, too. I can't imagine plowing MY driveway, withtout them.....even if our snows aren't all that big.

    Umm the roll over type plow will have a bit more curve and one end of it will be higher. The one you have there will work fine, the other type is just better.

    I do have the attachment that allows me to put more angle on it (as well as moving the blade up/down). I think I'll be able to put as much as I want (I can push the top forward). But, we'll see!

    I like my RZR so much, I'm thinking hard on buying another for the G/F to ride.

    The rollover type he is talking about is called a one-way or tapered, I chose a straight over tapered... personal preference, they make snow deflectors also that keep it from coming over the top.

    This is the tapered, or "One Way"

    Obviously you have never really moved snow?

    I've moved plenty of snow, BUT my blade will Probably be used for more than just snow.... probably. Granted all the snow I have moved has been with a Massey Ferguson and not an ATV I assume that since my driveway is clear with the straight blade I have on the tractor.... It will be clear with the straight blade on my ATV... ??? I'm not out plowing the interstate....

    But hey if you want to send some extra cash... 138.57 + $50 over size shipping charge(and that's cheap), I'll be glad to use a tapered, one way plow... ;)

    Besides with a straight you pivot it the way you want it to go and you scrape.

    I'll say this......IF a man wanted to be entrepreneurial.....he could probably pay for his investment in one snow storm (here).

    I'm pretty sure I could get $20/driveway from some of the developments on my road. Wouldn't take long to recoup the costs of the equipment, that way.

    I'll likely just take care of the 10 (or so) landowners who either let me hunt on their land.....or let me access my lands through theirs. Either way, it's a one-time expense.

    Thanks for your help. It'll be hooked up and ready to go, Monday. May not snow again for years (lol).....but I'll be ready when it does.

    I checked with my father and he's not sure of the namebrand of his. But my pap has a Warn and absolutely loves it. I think you made a good choice
