I want to know if anyone has had issues with the mount's on the XP's for either the POPO Glacier 2 or the Moose RM3. I used mine commercially for 7 storms on 97 locations each storm. So roughly 700 locals, Ive watched since I read about this here on the forum. Trying to figure out if they have the prob fixed on the XP. So far (KNOCK ON WOOD) I love mine.

I've been watching too and I haven't seen anyone with an XP post that they have bent their G2 plow mount on their XP's.
I know I haven't been easy on mine, I've been plowing 2-2.5 mi. of dirt/gravel roads and driveway's this winter and hooked frozen snow berms and hit rocks that have brought me to a stop several times. So far the G2 mount is holding up well!
On top of that, I installed ATV Guru brush guards and to do that on the front it is necessary to modify the G2 plow mount by removing some material from the mount!
It is still holding up fine.

Used my g2 all winter on my xp. Only thing I screwed was the winch, it birdcaged on me. Being in the crane business I had easy access to some nice wire rope to use not the cheap stuff polaris uses [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Seems like all of us with XP's have more probs with the winch cable than the plows/ mounts. I had the the birdcage happen too. So I'm down to 37ft of cable left. What kind of cheap A$$ Chinese cable did they put on these things? I've the 56" one way plow with a box end on it (well it used to be). I told my dad the day I bought it that the box end wouldn't last a day and it didn't. So that should tell you all how rough I've been on the plow.

It may be the location of the winch, although I haven't had any trouble in the past with winches mounted low and using a plow. I thought the winch cable was Amsteel, but not sure.

My dad has a Polaris 3500 winch and G2 plow on his 08 800. No problems yet. Surprisingly, because he usually breaks everything.

I use a JD with a blower and cab now, so no plowing for me too often. Have an American Eagle on the 500, but rarely use it.

I have been using mine all winter with the 56 inch state plow and have had zero problems.I probaly will take the mount off for the summer.On my old 800s i had the glacier one mount and i used to leave it on year round and never bent it.The glacier 2 is alot better for the xp than it was for the old sportsmans.

sdbowcazy, hi fellow sd. How's that 850 push snow? Mine will push waaaaaay more than my honda's. Think people need to add a disclaimer to their post about the G2's on other POPO not XP. Seems we are all happy. Don't have pic of the mount but it mounts with 5 bolts with nuts no self tappers. Also the mount is heavier and longer than non-XP's

I too have had no problems with my g2 mount have had over 60" of snow to plow in 5 driveways. I like it better than the g1 I had on my previous sportsmans.
