I'm glad we don't get enough snow to even need a plow here. So far this winter, we've only gotten accumulation once and it was only about 3 inches. Its in the 50's today, should be over 60 F tomorrow. Its not like that every winter but a foot or more at at ime is something we might see once every 10 years or so. I remember 2004 as being the last year we got that much at once. A couple years ago, we got about 8-9 inches once, that was the last time we got heavy snowfall.

 

So far there were two times this winter that I should have plowed the driveway but didn't. I have a 4WD truck and just drove through the snow but I still had to shovel the sidewalk.

 

Are you guys using the same tires for plowing and pleasure?

 

^^ Bad Brains... nice!!!

I do and don't, depends on how lazy I am but there really isn't a reason you can't use the same set for both duties. I do happen to have the OEM set and a separate set with Original Bighorns. This year, got lazy and didn't put the OEM set on. The thought was I don't care much for the OEM tires so driving them on pavement with lots of turns and possible wear doesn't concern me. Turns out, the frozen ground with a light layer of snow doesn't wear the tires down much at all.

For where I live, the big snows usually come towards spring and it is not unusual to get 1 1/2 + feet per storm 2-4 times per spring. The BigHorns will probably provide better traction anyway.

 

I only have one set of tires that I use for everything. I put 2 or 3 60 pound sand bags on the rear rack for better traction.

 

Back when I used my wheeler or RZR to plow I ran different tires for plowing. Usually went with a lighter tire like Zillas. Not needed if you have stock or close to stock size tires. If running big mud tires it will be a lot harder on the belt. 600hp Powerstroke with a Boss V-plow does the job now :-)

Would you or anyone know if the plow made for a 570, would fit any of tbe new ACE or Razor? Or would i need specfic plow system for them?

 

[QUOTE=RticKwad;3351558]If they're the same length they might share the same frame. My thinking is that the ACE and 570 would be more alike than the RZR which has a longer frame.
