Default What Plow Should I Go With?

Should I just go with the plow system from Arctic Cat? ($675 for the regular set up, $875 for the quick attach, both including taxes with 60" blade)

Has anyone tried the Kimpex CLICK N GO? ($625 taxes in with 60" blade)

How about the Warn Rapid Connection System? ($725 taxes in with a 54" blade)

I cant find a dealer to get a quote on a Moose system but I hear they are expensive

I am leaning towards WARN becasue of the way it mounts to the front of the machine!

What do you all think?

Whatever I go with I will be using my winch as the lift.....

I use the Kimpex quick release and it works great. I did have to put a pin system on the mount at the bottom because the cables for the release get iced up which can cause the plow to jump off. Also the moose is a good durable plow.

Ordered the QUADBOSS (Branch Off Of Warn)
60" blade with Front Mounting System
$650CAN Total
Other places wanted 700-900 for the 54" Warn Front Mounting System (and my mounting bracket is backorder from WARN until January)
Thats why I went with QUADBOSS

Cool

I've been very pleased w/my AC 60" plow on A-Frame attachment. It was $700 installed at my local dealer last winter. I added a deflector band made out of bailer belting and the plow markers.




I use a GORILLA 3000lb winch w/synthetic rope. I also run a dual battery set-up in PARALLEL to add amp capacity to run all my accessories. THe WINCH pulls alot of amps, and running hand warmers and my extra plow lights to be able to maintain the 2+hrs needed for all the driveways I do...it was necessary.

Cool

I started out running a battery bungied to the rear deck:




But I soon found that that wasn't practical and found that on the TRV there's space under the rear seat behind the gas tank so I re-located everything:



I used a WALMART garden tractor battery that was rates 335CCA /12AH for $25. I then wired the batteries together in PARALLEL with again WALMART battery cables and run a 1.5amp battery maintainer:



I also ran an extra ground from the rear battery to the frame. The set-up works really well in terms of overall capacity to run the plow winch and the rest of my accessories. I didn't run and isolator as I didn't feel it was necessary. Hooked together, the TRV's charging system see's ONE battery as does the bat maintainer. And since it's ALWAYS on the maintainer, they're fully charged each time out.
I also wired in 2 extra fused 12volt "cigarette" style plugs for adding a flashing warning beacon and rear backup AC torchlight to see where I'm going in reverse in the dark.
