Default Snow plow blade remote angle adjusters????

Has anyone out there tried the remote angle adjusters for their snow plows? I've seen them advertised in the Arctic cat accessory catalogue but don't know how well they work. I am using the 60 inch cat blade.

they work great for the first 10 times you use them, then it starts to fall apart ( plastic housing ). Would not recomend this, although it sounds like a great idea, more testing needs to be done

Thanks man, you may have saved me from a wasteful purchase. I need the exercise getting on and off the machine anyways.

glad I am saving you some $. Wish I would have known. The remote lever has a plastic housing and really should be metal and it is all triggered by a 1/16" cable.

Hey Mikey!
How do you like your TRV? I just picked an 05 up a month ago for my house upstate. I've only got 30 mi. on it but I really like it. Have you had any problems with it since you bought it(other than the plastic housing)?

NO problems so far, the plastic housing was on that remote angle adjuster( not an actual part on the trv ). As far liking the TRV, my wife says I love it more than her. I use it alot for working at my cottage which hooks up to 100's of miles of trails. It makes plowing snow alot more fun than shoveling or snowblowing. The only drawback on the TRV was no rear rack and now that is in the process of being taken care with the knowledge and skill of whodat. I just picked up one of those swisher buckets and that needed some added creativity also. The mounting kit isn't long enough, due to the added length of the TRV so we made an extension and it seems that is no longer a problem. I also love the MRP

Thanks for the input. I actually had requested it for my plow on my rig. When I went to pick it up. They had forgot to order it. So I never got it. Good thing after all. What's a Swisher Bucket? Is it like the Koplin Drop Bucket? I'm also waiting for my rear rack from Whodat - should have it next week.

Sorry, I'm thinking of somthing else. The Drop Box for Koplin attaches to the back rack - like a dump truck. A little trick to attach for our model.

Do you have any pics of her ( not your wife but the TRV)? I was wondering if they have changed anything since 04
