Not as high as other models. (atvs) My 60" plow only raises about 14-18" UP off the ground. The plow A-FRAME hits the bottom of the front tow loop on the TRV.

It's not really a problem......unless I try to trailer it. The INCLINE is too steep on my utility 5X10' trailer unless I jam a 2X6 under the gate & back the TRV onto the trailer.
Ya got to get a little "creative" to load & secure it......but I've made it work.

My buddy has a YAMAHA Grizzly and his Country Plow set-up raises that sucker almost 2 1/2+ ft off the ground. But COMPLETELY different mounting system.

I had an AC composite plow on an 02 500i. That thing will push a ton of snow. I had all the accessories on it as well. I plowed all the interior loading docks and sidewalks of two GM plants in my town. Could easily put a few hundred miles on each winter plowing. The only problem I would have is the runners. Eventually started making my own. The reversible blade was great. It would start to wear and I would just unbolt and reattach. Just like new.

The AC could push twice the amount of snow that my 450 Foreman can. I don't plow for money anymore though, so its not an issue.

I never added any weight, and I only weigh 175lbs.

If you are looking a t a 60" plow I would recommend the cycle country state plow. If you are worried about driving it up on a high trailer frontwards get a moose rapid mount 3. You can always back it on. I use my plows commercially about 100 accts. The cycle country 1 weld and 1 staightening in six years abuse. The moose county plow has been a POS from day one; needs constant staightening, push tubes bend, we fabricated our own blade angle mount kit cause that always bent. The new moose RM3 has been better, I have only torn off the box end the first day I used it but I knew that was going to happen just looking at it. Other than that I like the RM3.

You can get these mail/internet/ phone order. Dennis Kirk, Global Motorsports Outlet, etc. Call around get the best price them call the higher priced ones back and often they will go lower than the first lower price. Then call the first lower price one back and tell them you found it lower yet and he'll come down even more!!
