Winter is coming. I bought my atv and it came with a 48' blade. I think it will be ok but is it worth it to by the 60'. So I have to make an extra pass but thats fine because I have a blast doing it. What do you guys think?

 

Thats what I'll be using this year. I bought the plow, frame, and mounting brackets for $75! Either way I figured I couldn't go wrong!

 

A 48 foot plow blade will get you by for sure [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Sorry. I know it was just a simple type 'o. Couldn't resist. You can smack me now. I deserve it and admit it.

Now...yes a 48" plow is good enough. You are better off with a larger plow of course. I had a Moose Plow brand blow for my first plow. I don't know the exact size and frankly, I was pretty ignorant on plows. I had never had a ATV with one before. But it worked great. I then bought a Polaris and got one of the plows that came with the bike. It's a 48" plow. Compared to my old Moose Plow, I hate it. Nowhere near as good a plow. Not even remotely close. And it is fun to plow. But outside the concept of how much you can plow at once, how well you dig in is important too. And for whatever reason, my 48" plow does not dig in as good. I don't know why. I suspect it is not nearly as heavy as my old Moose Plow. I loved that thing. Oh and it was larger than 48". I think it was more like a 60".

 

I had a 60' moose plow on my old Quadmaster. It was awesome. Heavier duty than the glacier but i will still have fun. On your glacier plow take out the stoppers, that should get u closer

 

LOL.. You deserve to be smacked 800Twin.. But you got at admit it was funny. I had to take a second peek to figure out what I missed and you got.. How many quads to push a 48 ft plow?

So when are we going riding 800Twin? Wel will have to get together sometime and hit a trail..

 

It's recommended that the plow is wider than the wheel base of the quad. I would think you should be all set with that 48 footer.. just kidden[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

48 footer is wider by a little.

 

I hooked up the plow and when the blade is turned the tires will run over the edge(so then it's not wide enough) How is it plowing with the blade turned? u run over the edge that u just plowed.

 

Just make sure the blade is wide enough to clear a path the
width of your ATV.
If you angle the blade you may not plow enough of a path
in order for your ATV to drive through.
In this case you would want a wider blade.

I was considering getting a 52" or 56"
Not sure yet. However, I think 48" could be
to small.

A 48 footer would rock though! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I have a 48 footer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] for my quad and it works well for me. I live in the city and it works well for doing sidewalks. If I didn't have sidewalks and only a big driveway, I would definitely go larger then a 48 footer.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
