also, i have seen people use plows out of RMATV with the hand way of raising and just using U-Bolts to attach the plow to the bottom side on the frame.

Yes it is possible. I have just completed a custom install on my 95 warrior. I used a plow from a lawn tractor and made a custom mount bracket that bolts up where the stock motor gaurd is. I installed a winch (EBAY)for lifting and lowering the plow(custom bracket on front bumper mounts) only payed $21.50 for it. I also have gotten new rear tires off the bay, they work awsome in the snow. I am using three deck post blocks for extra weight on my rear rack. If you have a welder and some fabricating skills anything is possible. In all I have about $85.00 into this project and it works and looks great.

By the way ther are a few companies that make snowplow mount brackets for the warriors, you just have to look around. I think TUCKER ROCKY has them. The smaller plows are pretty cheap. If you choose to buy knew stuff You might have about 300-400 into it.

Yes, you can do it and you will definately need chains. It will also be hard to turn because there is no weight on the front of the quad.

personally, it sounds like alotta strain to put on this machine, but, if u only get a few inches of snow at a time, it might be pritty good.

Seems like gearing your warrior down would help with heavier loads. But I suppose it depends on your riding style.
