I would love to get one but I worry about the end of the driveway. I have a 1987 dodge ram charger with a 6 foot plow in 4 wheel drive barely get through it and the truck has monster tires on it.
I know this doesnt compare but I had a plow on my 14hp Honda tractor and it's dead impossible for that to get through the end of the driveway. Got the tractor stuck everytime with chains on the tires
How tough can atv plows get through the banks - hype it up cuz I really do want one for my 450!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Good Question.... Has anyone delt with this? What about the heavy wet snow that causes all the problems.

buffsabres, that sounds exactly like me. It is a great way to get out of the house, the neighbors all love and envy you and your wife thinks you are hard at work. I go up and down the entire street where I live and watch everyone just looking out there windows just loving me. I'm looking forward to the cases of beer I think I'm gonna get at the end of the year.

How big do I have to get so that if I angle it a little I still won't be running over snow with my tires? I am eyeing the 56" razor.

I have a 60" Eagle plow and its HD ( on a 06 500ho),I have side scoops that stick out 13" from the cutting edge, and a pipe on the cutting edge so it wont dig in to the yard, I run it right on the ground and it does a great job, I have a sand bag on the rear rack, I dont use chains, Executioner tires aired down, HL Lift springs on the front, sag is around 1 1/2 to 2in.,I can carry a lot of snow with the side scoops and it has no problem pushing it, and ya you get to ride!
