I am planning on getting a plow for either the 500 cat or the 700 griz
Anyone have good and bad experiences with plows let me know.
any recomendations on brand?

 

nope..nothing bad. works good w/ a winch, put it on whichever machine is heavier, which I assume would be the grizz, but not sure. Some guys have had problems w/ the cables snapping, but just be carefull not to raise the winch too high (if you have one)........ good luck!

 

I have used a lot of different plows, they are all good except I didn't like the Swisher due to the set-up, as it lowers your ground clearance to like 6". My favorite is the factory Arctic Cat 60" plow. That is what I am going to get for now on.

 

You can check these links for some ideas, Cycle Country can be purchased with its own mini attached winch.

I've always had good luck with the cycle country plows. As far as lifting systems don't overlook the manual lift option. I like the manual lift for my gravel drive because it offers more of "feel" of how the blade is contacting and digging into the surface. I found it really helps in keeping the blade running just at the right level and tension to clean the snow without ripping up the gravel. I just couldn't do that with the winch. The "feel" wasn't there.
