MT,
My dealer showed me the new mount for the 500. Doesn't look much different to me... and I sure wouldn't trust it. Besides, I think it's where it mounts to the 500 as much as the mounting plate. I think the one that Moose makes is the same thing... probably the same manufacturer... I'd stay away from it.
Anyhow, I'm extremely happy with the Eagle plow system on mine. The two pins go in and out easy. On the other hand, that new Warn system looks really nice.
Good luck with your decision.

Thanks for the input. I am edging towards the Warn. Nice website they have- new 11 gauge "highway" plow offered, power angle, and the new mount system (Provantage?).
Everything is just SO expensive. A quick add-up of the 60" highway blade, power angle, mount and it's over a grand!

I'd call either of these ebay sellers, since they sound like they have addons for the provantage at a good price

Should get my 3000 lb KFI winch and mount plate tomorrow... Ordered the cheap mount kit and LT2000 superwinch from cabelas... the winch might be OK, but the mount plate was a real joke... so it's all going back.

I had a Swisher Plow on my old Sportsman 400 and loved it. Then I got a new Sportsman 700 with the reciver hitch and my old plow would work... I switched to the Warn Pro Vantage!!!! What an amazing plow. I like the fact I can lift is so high. When we get 6"-8" of snow the pile gets pretty big at the end of my driveway and you need to be able to lift the plow more than a couple inches. A friend of mine has a Moose plow on his grizzly and cant even back out of his truck with the plow on!!!
