I have an 05 Eiger and want to put a plow on it. I have two plows from a garden tractor that are wide enough. Is it possible to use one of these plows to mount on my eiger to plow snow? Is it also possible to fabricate the necessary brackets to mount one of these plows? If anyone has dimensions I would greatly appreciate it. I have access to a welder as well Thanks for any input!

 

I made a plow out of a piece of 1/2 steel plate. So, anything is possible. I used a trailer jack so I could adjust the height and have the whole weight of the quad on the plow. I use it for plowing dirt on my trails. It worked pretty well for months until I hit a tree stump at high speed and flipped, lol. It pushed the plow in between the front wheels. I have it fixed now and added a 18 volt drill that the batteries quit working. Now the plow goes up and down electrically. I'm going to go slow from now on, too much work fixing it and plus its no fun flying over the handlebars. Let me know if you want some help designing something for yours.

 

I built a plow frame for my '07 out of 1/4" angle iron. Much more solid than the flimsy ones you buy from a store. It's definitely doable and it's not that hard. A hell of a lot cheaper too.

 

I had 1/8 or 3/16 until I hit the stump. Then I reinforced it with more angle and trussed it. The 1/8 inch stuff looked like spaghetti noodles after the wreck. I doubt anything will happen to it now, its bullet proof. I'll just get tossed over the bars like a ragdoll and the quad will be fine, lol.

 

Either of you have dimensions for the bracket that mounts underneath??

 

I just cut 1 inch long, 1/2 inch I.D., 1/4 inch thick (or so) tube and bolted it to my angle iron thru drilled 1/2 holes. Then I welded the tube to the bottom of the frame and welded gussets so the tubes will never move. That holds the plow to the frame pretty well.
