Default What to do with a $400 gift certificate? Help!

I know this sounds kinda strange, but I received a $400 gift certificate as a gift for a local Polaris dealer. I can only spend it at this Polaris dealership and they won't cash it out. I have a 2006 500efi mossy oak. I just bought new tires and want to keep my black rims, so that's out. I already have a winch, front rear bumpers, lock and ride rear basket, trailer, chainsaw lock, and a sprayer. I mostly use my ATV for utility around our acrage. I live where it only snows once or twice a year. I was looking at a plow for moving gravel and dirt etc and snow once or twice a year. How is the plow for moving dirt and gravel? Is the Glacier II strong, the dealer recomends the 48 inch plow because it's built stronger for dirt. Thanks for any help. And no, I won't just give the gift certificate away....I know someone will ask. Thanks again for any help spending money.

will your certificate expire soon? if not, just wait and research what you want, go to "accessorize your atv" on the polaris website, they should have something nice there.

I would stock up on stuff like oil change kits, air filters, light bulbs , tranny oil, gearcase oil, etc.
Unless you can only use it on Polaris Accessories

The chainsaw box they have is really nice. I have an X2. It won't fit. I put on the front rack extension. Easy install and nice to strap a bag on the front for extra clothing, etc. Maybe add a rear extension if it doesn't interfere with boxes. Polaris also sells a ATV trailer that would be $399 for the 2 wheel version. I have a Craftsman that I reinforced a bit that works pretty good.

I can spend it on anything at this polaris dealership. I have a service manual, trailer, chainsaw lock, and riding gear. I already bought the gallon bottles of oil, on demand diff fluid, extra air filters, and gear oil. I might look at the front rack extension, but I'm not sure I need one. I'm still thinking a plow could help me around the property. Pushing brush into burn piles, gravel and the few snow storms we have.

Does anyone use their plows for things other than snow?

Thanks for all your help.

Yah, I use mine for spreading dirt and gravel and pushing cow manure around. I got the 52" and it seems to be holding up to pushing dirt and everything else. I highly reccomend the Glacier system.
