I also have a 60" blade that I use on an '03 SP 500. I've plowed up to 12" of wet, heavy snow with no problem.

we use our 98 sp500 with a 60" polaris blade. that thing has no problem pushing snow whatsoever. it'll keep pushin even when snow is coming over the top its so deep. only time it wouldn't push was when there was about an 1" of ice in top of the snow and on the ground. then it wouldn't break the ice it'd just spin.

I have a Glacier Plow System with 48" blade on my 04.5 SP500 HO and it does a great job of plowing. The only thing I want to change with the setup is to add a weight bar. As stated, others here run the 60" and have no problems.

No problem, I have plowed up to 23 inches of wet snow with my old trail boss 350 4x4. That is with 48 in blade

i had the same set-up as you in '02. both the ATV and Moose plow will EXCEED your expectations! that is one fantastic set-up you have there.

VERY strong, VERY reliable!

enjoy and HAVE FUN!
