HOW DOES IT WORK WITH A 50'' PLOW ,DOES IT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS ,DO YOU REGRET NOT GOING TO A BIGGER PLOW,IS IT WIDE ENOUGH FOR THE FOREMAN WHEN ITS ANGLED
THANKS . I KNOW I POSTED A SIMILAR QUESTION A FEW DAYS AGO BUT IM WANTING TO GO WITH THE 50'' AS OPPOSE TO THE 60''

 

i dont have one but it should work fine

 

I talked to lots of folks before I got my plow for my Foreman 450, wondering about the "power-to-push" versus "too narrow" issues. Overwhelming consensus was:
(1) 50" works just fine, no problem with it not being much wider than the ATV, and
(2) the 450 has plenty enough power to handle the 60" plow.

Being devoutly lazy, I went with the 60", thinking I'd get the job done quicker. Yep -- it's quick, and there's no lack of power (actually, it's the Foreman's stump-pulling low-end torque that does the trick.)

Two observations after two years of plowing:
(a) The 60" sometimes seems too wide in tight spaces, but having those "outrigger" corners helps in touching up along the edges of things, especially in curves, turns, etc.
(b) That 60" Cycle Country blade & push-bar assembly comes off as a unit (pull a couple of pins, back your quad away, very easy) but it is VERY heavy. Even doing the off-on only once a season is a BEAR of a job -- not the removal, but putting that monster back into the corner of a shed for the summer is a pretty good workout. I dunno if the 50" is lots lighter, but unless you're set up where you can drive the blade to its summer resting spot, you're in for quite a workout horsing that 60" rig into some dark storage corner.

 

GUYS I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR REPLIES,JUDGING FROM THIS I THINK THE 50'' WILL BE PERFECT FOR ME ,I REALLY WONT NEED THE 60'' THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

 

I ave a 50 inch plow on my 350 foreman and it works great

 

I have a 52" and my rear tires (27x12x12 blackwaters) still hook when blade in angled, a stock bike would probably be fine.
