How does your 250 2x4 do plowing snow? I'm thinking of getting a plow for my 1999 Arctic Cat 250 2x4 and was wondering if it's worth the money. How much snow can you push? Do you use tire chains or not?

 

I enjoy plowing with my 250 2X4. Lets face it, if a 12 horse John Deere can push canadian snow a fourwheeler can do twice the job. I can push in First gear high range or if it gets heavy low range second or third gear. I can make banks 5 feet high, and I can clear out my fairly large lane way really quick...way faster than my snow blower. The first pass is the hardest, but once I have done one pass you can take as much or as little as the bike can manage easily. If the snow is real sticky or the base underneath is slippery I put my tire chains on, but I only had to put them on once last year, I don't like using my chains unless I have to, they are hard on your rubber.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply, it was very helpful. I decided to get a plow. I think it will be well spent money.
