Can't Decide! On The Fence Post!- PLOWS!
I just bought a new '09 Sportsman 500EFI (last year for the 500EFI in a Sportsman) and I just can't decide which plow set-up to go with.
Maybe YOU can help!
-I had problems with my Glacier2 mounting plate bending on my '08 X2 and I don't know if Polaris addressed this with a thicker stronger plate. Anyone know?
-Moose has the strong old reliable push-tube type but I really hate lining-up the pins under the ATV. (I remove/mount my blade frequently throughout the Winter-First I plow then remove it and go joy riding you see). Moose also has the Quick-Mount BUT I think it's the same mount as the Glacier2???? Sure looks the same!
-The Warn blade set-up looks solid just like Moose's old push-tube design. Plus I kind-of like the power-pivot offered by Warn. No more getting-off the ATV to more the blade left/right. BUT I think the pins must be lined-up UNDER the ATV??
So, that's the 3! (Glacier2/Moose/Warn)
Well boys!!..............Which one do I buy??

I'll throw another at you that you may want to consider and that would be the Tusk brand carried by Rockymountainatv. Made by American Eagle in Minn, it's a more economical alternative and in my opinion, pretty well designed/built. That being said, I haven't used mine yet as I just got it a few weeks ago.

Warn power pivot is pretty spendy but nice. I have only used the Moose and Cycle Country standard type plows with push tubes. I have had real good luck with them. Currently use the Cycle Country set up but bought the quick pin set up. Its a lot faster to hook and unhook pushtube, but you still have kneel down on the ground.

Like our OP I take mine on and off a lot. Once I'm done plowing I have to take it off so I can do other chores and that requires crawling around on the wet and dirty garage floor.
How much do they cost? I don't see a price on the Cycle Country webpage. It looks like it would still pretty tricky to get the thing lined up.

Thank-you for all the replies so far! The Polaris Forum rocks! (it really does! LOL! )
Would anyone out there know if the Glacier2 mounting plate has been beefed-up? My Popo dealer says they have but can anyone confirm this?
The Glacier 1 I owned was good. After a while it did become necessary to use the winch to lift the blade up really hard to make it lock in place. (before all I had to do to mount the blade was to lift it by hand and the little red tipped pin would lock in place. I think something somewhere got bent.
I wish a dealer sold all the brands! (it would be MUCH better to see them all side-by-side!)
-Tusk
-Cycle Country
-Warn
-Moose
How does the 60" RZR blade differ from a 60" regular Glacier blade?
