I've got it so the wear bar is just barely touching... course I have yet to plow any snow with it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Actually, that's a good question. I haven't seen any instructions on how to place the wear bar, above or on the ground. Here's what I did to adjust my 60 inch plow.
With the quad tires & plow all on the same slab of concrete, I placed an 1/8 inch round stock under opposite ends of the blade. Then lowered the disks to touch ground and locked the nuts in place. Whatever your plow has for shoes, they can be adjusted to height. What this does is raises your blade just enough so it won't get caught in the sidewalk cracks and still do a good job of removing the snow. Well hopefully...

I like that idea. The reason I was asking is that on my plow for my truck I don't use shoes only because I plow concrete and nothing soft like dirt roads. I think I'm going to set it so the blade is a hair off the pavement. I'll see how that works tomorrow night when we're supposed to get some more snow.

 

I set mine so that the wear bar is just touching the ground. I'm mostly plowing asphalt driveways. I used it for the first time tonight and it seems to work real well.

quick question, what companies plows have poly moldboards? i think the ones from AC are, but not sure. Im a plow contractor and poly plows on trucks are great b/c of the reduced rusting, but on a quad will the blade be heavy enough? on trucks even poly plows are closing in at 800 pounds so thats no problem for scraping, but i was wondering about the pros and cons for atv plows. And i wouldnt even use the skids, never have on my trucks for years, just flip the wearbar around, its a big difference even when the plow is a hair off the ground compared to completely scraping, the weight of the snow on the plow pushes it down to help break up the packed in stuff. Oh and what are some good sites to get plows from, been looking around for a good deal.

 

My plow on my truck has a lexan moldboard which makes it really light, plus I have down pressure which makes it act like a heavier one. I have the AC plow for my atv (poly moldboard) and sometimes it's tough to scrape up the real compacted tire marks on driveways and the backdragging is not like it is on our trucks either, but that's only because of the weight. Using the AC plow for sidewalks there are no problems keeping the blade on the pavement. I got my plow from my dealer (Finish Line Powersports). You can shop them HERE

 

is there any room on the a-frame to drop and 80 pound bad of salt or something like that, i sure that will help scrape up the hard stuff while backdragging too. In this case it might be beneficial to get the heaviest plow for quads, anyone have any info on moose or cycle country plows, or even warns?? thanks for the info lownranger

 

True, it's difficult to backdrag the plow in five inches of snow. The poly board is light weight but the frame work for the AC plow is very heavy duty. I don't think you will have to worry about problems with any of the manufacturers you mentioned.
I'm not try to get all the snow when backdragging. Since I know the plow won't get it all, I leave some for the snow blower. That's when I get my exercise...

I think I've heard of some people welding something on the blade to hold weights to make it heavier. Maybe something on the front to hold a few 25lb dumbell weights.
