I just bought a moose 60 inch snow plow for my 2006 Rhino 660 and found out the mount U-bolts to the bottom of the frame right in the front. The kicker is, this mount has a 6 inch drop which completly takes away ground clearance. I can not even take my Rhino off flat ground without bottoming out on every little rut or rock. This mount must be removed before going off-road and then remounted with 4 U-bolts just to use this plow. Needless to say, this amounts to a very time consuming process that is very annoying. Beware of this type of mount!

 

Don't know what your complaining about, all snow plow manufators say you sapose to take off the mount. Not to go over 5mph with it on.

 

Snow manufacturers may say to remove the mount, that is fine to remove in summer and replace in winter. Where I live, we use the rhino for farm work year round, it is impracticle to remove this mount every other day to go out on the farm, then remount it every other day to plow snow. Besides, I figured out how to modify this mount to work year round. By the way,( I don't complain,I thought this was a sight to give and receive information on Rhino's etc. including aftermarket parts. Maybe I was wrong. I was merely warning other rhino owners to this setup, especially owners who use their rhino's for work all year round).

 

Hey, don't let him stop you from posting whatever you want to share. I've had some similar problems with the plow that I use. I only have about 3 inches of ground clearance with my plow on. It's the plow frame on mine that is the problem. I use a plow from my AC400 that I sold and we fabricated mounts to make it fit. Works great but I lost the ground clearance just like you did.

 

I have the same plow and mount. A friend took my mount and made a flat mount with no drop down. It works perfict and it didn't cost $100+ cnd that I paid.

 

I had the same problem with my rhino so I changed to the extended lift mount and bought the adapters for the old style push tubes. I only lose about an inch and a half now. I have no problems with the tracks on but with the tires I would hit rocks going down the road into my camp with the mount on. I have no problems now.
