As anyone done anything on the sides of the plows to get it to old more snow? I end up loosing quite a bit each pass till I finally start cleaning it all up and take care of the lines it leaves.</end quote></div>

I had side shields on my old plow but don't have them on my new plow YET. They work GREAT for plowing with the blade straight. I think it takes me 2 -3 times as long to plow without them. http://www.purepolaris.com/Det...061(PolarisPGACatalog)

 

I need those!

 

triplggg & acadguru - in your pictures you have a black stop on the winch cable between the winch hook and fairlead. It looks like it would keep the hook from going too far into the fairlead. Do you know what it is called and where they can be found? I have searched online and have not seen it anywhere yet. Thanks!

Yea, those mounts seem to be weak. Hopefully the one on the Moose system is built better and it can replace the Polaris mount.</end quote></div>



The new Moose one I just saw, looked exactly like the Glacier2.

It looked like the same size steel.

A lot of people on here claim they've bent the Glacier 2 mounts up,

but I've never actually seen one. I've welded a few Warn Plows for friends,

but I've never seen a broken Glacier or Glacier 2 mount.

I thought the front mount looked kind of weak

when I first got mine, but it's held up really well.

Well maybe I just got a good one, because I've hit a few piles of frozen snow,

and actually spun the quad around one night when I hit a Catch basin edge pretty hard. I figured the mount was trashed both times, but everytime I look at it,

it's still straight and in one piece. I did change the crappy Chinese hardware out for Grade 8 bolts and real flat washers when I mounted mine.

I hate Crappy Hardware!

I think those 2 bolts that are hard to get to on the front

are the most important ones. They would seem to take all the force.

Has anyone here actually bent one up? Was it because the bolts broke?

Anyone got pictures of a broken one?

I'm kind of interested.</end quote></div>

I bent two glacier 2 mounts last season. The bolts don't break. It bends between the one bolt under the engine and the front where the metal is pretty thin. I just had a buddy straighten them out and weld some more steel to them. Now they look like they should have from the factory! LOL! The bending seems to be common on the glacier 2 mounts. I'm sure speed is a factor! LOL! I was at the dealer the other day and looked over a glacier 1 system. They are obviously built much stronger than the 2's. I think if you bent one of those up you would have more problems than the mount, like a frame!

Thanks John! I will go to Cabelas tomorrow and pick one up. I'm in Spokane and we have 6-8 inches of snow expected overnight.
