Default Snow plow reports, best brand?

Well I bought a swisher plow for my sportsman 500 last week. today I was plowing the two feet of snow we got and hit the corner on a hard snow bank from last week and bent my plow mount! just wondering how other brands are holding up on your guys wheelers? I will have to heat it up and hammer it straight and weld some 1/4" plate to strengthen it but it is fixable and still plows ok like it is.

Just a couple hours ago, I rammed my plow at an angle into the frozen ground across the street from my driveway. Probably the hardest I've hit it yet. I was wondering if the plow itself would bend, but so far it's holding up very well!

I have the Glacier II mount with the 60" plow.

I have an American eagle. I use mine a lot in the woods cleanin' stuff up. I've slammed mine off roots, stumps, and rocks that I thought were going to throw me off the bike. I've never bent mine. 1000 lbs of bike and rider is a lot of momentum to stop at rammin speed. I can't believe I haven't bent it yet but its straight as an arrow.

I was looking at the swisher plow for my X2 then my father-in-law pointed out the price to me on a glacier II, I paid right around $500 for the mount, frame and 52" blade and havent had any problems with it yet. I figured the swisher plow to be just a little bit cheaper, but I didnt like how it attached to the a-arms and that you had to remove it to ride trails, so I went with the glacier.

My Moose plow has working without a problem for two seasons now. Only slight snowbank ramming, nothing out of hand. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
