Good stuff a lot to chew on. I hear that Swisher is a very good plow and they have a variety of attachments. I never heard of Cycle Country so I do not know if they have attachments for various utility needs.

 

http://www.cyclecountry.com/ they hace a few stuff. alot of accesories for the plows from markers to plastic wear blades to plow stuff like paving stones. brooms for the atv. look at the catolog

Hi,

I am in the market for a plow setup for my son's 1997 sportsman 500. I am having trouble trying to figure out exactly what I need to level my gravel drive way and plow snow in the future. I would need a complete setup as it does not have a winch or anything else. I read that Swisher was the way to go because it has many attachment options. I really do not have much money to invest in it so I would be happy to find something used but I do not even know what I need.

Thanks,

Jim</end quote></div>




You will be monumentally dissapointed if you buy the Polaris Glacier2 plow. Although the hook-up/disconect couldn't be easier, the mounting plate is a flimsy piece of junk. I moderately pushed snow into a snowbank and after a few passes, I looked under the ATV and the plate bowed downward and upfront the bolts were pressing against the radiator. Polaris obviously never tested this product and has failed miserably!

I had to buy a new mounting plate and had a local welder re-inforce it. It has not snowed since so I have not had a chance to see if the "fix" works.

Others have made good suggestions on what to buy. Cycle Country, Warn, Swisher.

 

Yeah I am leaning toward Swisher because it accepts other attachments but I have not ruled out Cycle Country

I forgot to mention Moose Utilities plows. VERY heavy duty, VERY reliable.

Mooseutilities.com I think.

 

cycle county has attatchments 2 what type of attatchments are you looking for?

 

loader bucket, fork lift...

 

look at this one i know someone who had this type of set up read the thing about the mount it mounts on your rear trailor hitch and a arms. it has forks buckets and plows for that mount http://www.northerntool.com/we...70_200150824_200150824 they even have a rear suspention lockout to keep it stiff while pulling plows and stuff like a tracktor. http://www.northerntool.com/we...70_200333205_200333205 the pallet lifter is $129 the mount is $160 the plows are $170 to $270 the bucket is $400

so for mount $160
60 inch standard plow $220
palled lifter $130
bucket $400
it woud be around $910

it looks like is a preety strong set up. anyone ever try this set up? polaris made a set up similar to this me neigor had itworked good bolted on teh trailor hitch.

 

MT, interesting that you would suggest the Moose utility plows since the Glacier II and the Moose Rapid mount are the same plow!
