Swisher Plow
I went with the Warn Plow for mine. Price, simply attachment, metal construction, and little loss in ground clearance were the reasons. Plus all I need is the appropriate frame bracket to switch it should I ever get a different or additional ATV.
There are two clip pins that hold it to the frame brackets underneath. Pull the pins and unhook the winch and it is off. No bolts or wrenches needed.
I considered the AC plow but it is strictly for snow since it's fiberglass. Plus it will only adapt to AC ATVs.

I have a grizzly 600. The mount attaches to the lower arm. Result = busted the ball joint on the lower arm, busted the ball joint at the top of the strut (shock absorber) tore the inside and outside cv boots and bent the tie rod. A little over $500.00 in repair parts and I did the 5 hours of labor which would have been an additional $325.00 at the local shop. A weeks down time waiting for parts and I use it every day to run my trap line I average $125.00 a day in fur so using math for Marines I wouldn't use one if you gave it to me. I figure it cost me over $1700.00 to push a distance of 5 feet in 3 inches of snow.
Get a plow that attaches to your frame not the front suspension!
I called Swisher and they recommended I keep the plow and return the mount. I was told to get a mount from Yamaha and they would sell me an adapter for it.
That is great customer support! I will never own anything by that company.

The problem with just getting a 48-50 inch plow it that it just barely clears the width of the ATV. If you angle the blade to push to one side or the other, it isn't long enough to clear where you will drive. So you end up driving over what you are trying to plow. That is why the 60 inch works so well.
If you have trailer width issues, just angle the blade left or right. It should narrow the width enough to fit. I do this with my trailer that is just 5 ft wide with side rails and my big AC 650 with the 60" Warn still fits.
