You may have the blade angled back at the top too much, causing the blade at the ground to be angled out too much, which will lower the push tube.

Try this... with the plow attached to the quad on a level surface, drop the blade to the ground. Then, adjust the skids all the way up so the blade is touching the ground... or as close as possible.

Then, stand along side the blade and see if it is straight up and down (or just slightly tilted back at the top). Adjust it with the oblong bolts that attach the blade to the push tube until the blade is straight. When you've got it like you want, adjust the skids down so the blade is just off the ground.

Let me know if it works out for you.

I have noticed the same issue. With my SP800 it the G2 was fine but with the XP the G2 rubs. Seams like they should have made the push mount several inches shorter. I also made the pull bar shorter so the blade will lift higher.

Nice looking rig Thor. The massive 1/2" snow storm wasnt quite enough to break out the G2 xp plow yet. Trust me I would love to be able to chime in with a relevant answer. I am selling mine to my uncle once I use it to see how the 850 handles a 72" blade.
