Default Using an ATV as a plow...

I have seen 2wd ATV plow well with chains on. Chains just bite into packed icy and snowy conditions better than any rubber lug on a tire can.

I have Mudlite XL's on my 2002 500HO and I push a 60 inch blade no problem. I was pushing 8 plus inches of snow last weekend into my brothers cabin and I was amazed at how much this quad could push!! I clear my Mom's driveway as well and what used to take 2.5 hours with a 33 inch snowblower, I can now do in 25 minutes!! Most people say the Polaris is fat, but that's what makes it push so good. Just make sure you use low range when plowing. I can hardly wait for more snow!!! Which won't be long here in Winterpeg Manitoba where it is -45C with the wind chill right now!!

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]Hotdogmb, I'm 145 mi. south of you in GF,ND. If you look at my pic of me stuck, I attempted to plow through that deep snow but with the blade down it just hung me up. Then to get out to my deer feeder, I tried to just run through it but the plow pushtubes got hung up, then I sat and spun digging in. I made it after a couple tries!!!!!

Hey Dearlh,



I like your roller setup on your brushguard. I assume you fabricated your self? If this is a device

you can add on could you share with us the details, pretty cool!



Cheers,
