Newbie Questions
As a longtime SkiDoo snowmobile rider, I'm considering my first ATV and have some specific questions.
My intent would be to purchase a 4wd like the Outlander with a snow blade in order to be able to plow my driveway. It's 350 ft long (all paved), too much for a snowblower and I don't want to buy a used plow truck (that would be like buying a used boat!).
Does anyone plow a large area with one of these? How does it work? I'm afraid if we have more than 3-4 inches, plowing deeper snow into a drift wouldn't work very well. By the time I went 20 ft, would there be too much to push?
Also, I've read some have 'downforce' for the blade. I assume this is necessary?
Any other advise would be appreciated. I don't want to invest 6-9k if it's not going to work well, as this is my main objective for the investment (although I'm sure it will be fun in the summer)!
Thanks!
Owen

I'd like to recommend a snowblower set-up for a ATV; www.agri-fab.com - Multi-Fit ATV Snow Thrower
This is what I'll do next time.
