Hi Guys;
I'm way too new at this hobby to know some of this basic stuff so I'd just rather ask a silly question rather than make a dumb mistake...

I have a 2007 KQ 450, and I'm considering putting a 54" Warn Plow on.

Today a local 'Know it All' went into great detail as to why this was a bad Idea - as such items put too much strain on the frames, front end etc.

So if I have a new Utility ATV with lots of power ... what is the problem? I want to move some snow, will this hurt the stearing, drive train & frame? Or is this guy just full of hot air?

 

He is just full of hot air! I put a Plow on my 85 lt230ge and it works good just cant push that much snow on it but you should but good. i would not worry about anything braking.Just keep it in like 1st gear it wont hurt anything.

 

I have a 325 Trail boss 2wd and it can move lots of snow ,
with todays machines he's full of it tell him to go and melt some snow with his hot breath

 

LMAO! I have a 1/2 sheet of steel as a plow on my bayou and I plow up trees! I've even wrecked it in 3rd or 4th gear speed.... slammed into a stump that wouldn't move,,, I went flying over the bars and the plow was turned into spaghetti. My frame is fine. I rebuilt the plow and back into service like nothing ever happened.

That warn plow will fold up like a beer can before any frame damage would ever happen! Buy it, put it on, have fun! NO worries!

 

my plow is off a lawn tractor ,that I converted to my ATV ,made my own lift ,works great ,may try a winch soon ,put lifting spacers under my front springs to counter act the weight of the plow .

 

I used a jack off a trailer to raise n lower the plow. That way I can put the full weight of the quad on the plow. I need all the weight I can get on the plow for plowing the ruts out of my trails.

 

mine is a 3-way plow ,with a trip edge ,if I hit something solid

 

I have a 2004 Eiger 400 4x4 auto with a 60" cycle country plow and have had no trouble with it. Its been doing a great job for over 2 years.
