I'm looking to buy a plow in the next couple of months and would like some insite on the different brands and places to buy them. I've got an AC 650, so I was thinking on going with a 60" plow. Arctic cat has a plow, but it's plastic with steel frame. Someone said plastic is good because the snow tends to clear off easier. I'd think an all steel blade would last longer and could be used for dirt as well? I doubt I'd ever use it for dirt, but who knows.

Anyways.. any insite and recomendations are appreciated.

 

I use a Moose 60" County plow that works really well. You can angle it left or right, or just leave it straight when pushing snow. I use my Warn 2000 winch to lift and lower it. It is a heavy duty plow.

 

I put the swisher plow and mount on my AC 500i. The plow is all metal, which I preferred because I'm also pushing gravel and dirt with it every now and then.

It seems to work pretty good. Angles left and right, hooks up to the winch. Works well with loose gravel and dirt, doesn't work very well on packed dirt, but I expected that. One thing - the universal mount will kill your ground clearance. Takes it from the Cat's terrific 12" down to about 4". Try to run a trail with this thing on, and you'll remember why you bought a cat in the first place. The mount does have a semi-quick release. Two pins in the front, and a bolt on the trailer hitch.

 

I found that if you look on www.rcoffroad.com you'll find a plow your satisfied with. they have the 60" warn plow system which comes with a 60" warn blade with mounting kit, 2.5ci 2500 lb. winch with mounting kit and handle bar controls/wiring. all for $680. and if you email them and ask for a discount they'll nock another $10.00 off.

 

I'll vouch for the Warn 60" plow w/ winch setup. I bought it last year(bought the plow from truckaddons.com and the winch from eBay) and used it all winter on my Sportsman 600. Worked very well. The plow attaches with 2 pins so it takes all of 60 seconds to add/remove. The mounting plate for the Sportsmans only hangs down about 1" so ground clearance was hardly affected.

 

Kylersk, I got the 60 inch plow from Cat, and have no complaints. It angles right and left and easily hooks up to the ATV. I only lose about 1" of ground clearance with the mount on, I never even notice that. My dad has had the same plow for his 2000 Cat 500 for 4 years now with no troubles, he even pushed dirt with it. The blade works great with the winch too. I have moved 15" of wet snow, no problem. But whatever you get, be sure to GET THE 60" BLADE and nothing less.
