I'd get a brand that makes a bracket for your machine. Cycle Country makes one for the Recon. Not worth my time to fab one up for the price of well thought out mount that just bolts on.

I own a 2003 recon and bought a cycle country plow.It works well I can move several inches of snow with out to much trouble.I have the plastic blade which is much lighter than the steel one and snow doesn't seem to stick to it as much.Minre is the electric lift which I would not recommend because it is much to slow.I would get the manual lift .

You will need push tubes , mounting plate and blade. I recommend yhe plastic blade , it is lighterand less maintenance.

Mine is a Lite Force plow made by Cycle Country. I looked at their website and don't see it listed any longer.You might try to e-mail them and ask if they still make them.I bought mine in the fall of 2004.

would a plastic plow cut down thru the snow or ride on top of the packed stuff?
