I am about to get a plow for my Rincon, i need to know which is the most durable, which is the easiest to take on and off, and which you have found you are the most happy with. I am interested in the following brands and leaning closely towards a 60 in Warn, as i have found a decent deal on that. Comments are appreciated.......Thanks.....Kevin

-Warn
-Cycle Country
_Moose

Which one would you get?

 

I'm also curious to hear everyone's feedback. I'm looking for a plow for my Suzuki KQ700. Saw some interesting info on the Eagle brand. Does anyone think the hydlaulic turn kit for the blade is a good idea? And what about chains? Rear tires only? Front and rear? Good for plowing an ice rink on the lake, but will they damage the driveway?

 

I have a 60" Cycle Country. The blade is the light weight plastic one. I also have the electric lift. The install was easy and it's easy to take on and off. I leave the mounting plates on the quad year round as they only protrude about one inch. I think I paid about 400 dollars for it on ebay. I am very happy with it. i don't have any need for chains as I have ATR radials and it plows great. I did have chains for an older quad. i don't recall them doing any damage to pavement.

 

I bought the moose 60" state plow. Seems nice and solid to me, but I haven't been able to plow with it yet.

 

KQowner- i would say its safe to say that chains are for 2wd applications, i would think you would be alright without, maybe im wrong..

 

I have a 48" CC plow and a 60" Warn plow, of the two I prefer the Warn. It is better built and will last longer. I have looked at the Moose plows, while they seem well made they are awfully heavy which can detract from the preformance of the ATV in my opinion. Never used chains and as was stated, I think only 2WD ATV's would need them.

 

The moose plow is reasonably heavy. I've got an AC 650V2, so power isn't really an issue for me. With smaller atv's (under 500cc), it could be an issue. That said, if you're just looking to plow snow, you may want to go with the plastic blade. AC makes a great one and I'm sure others do as well. From what I've heard, they do a better job because the snow doesn't stick.

 

I have Warn 54" with Warn winch. Two pins underneath and one on the front and it's off! With the Rincon, definitely get the 60". You'll have a tough time challenging that machine with that blade. I don't push nearly as much snow as you'll be pushing but have never had any problem, whether it's wet or powder. I personally like my steel blade for the weight, it doesn't ride up on top of packed snow. With Warn, there are also blade weights available if you should need to add additional weight.

 

HI, I had a cycle country Plow and tore it up after one year. I then got a Moose County Plow, and have had it for 4 years. I plow over a mile of road to keep my road open so I can get to my cabin. I also plow 4 Drives . I like the Moose Plow. I plow fast, and hit a lot of rocks. I do not use skids, and replace cutting edges once a year.( $30) I have had to reweld some of the supports but after that no more problems. I am starting to look for another plow for my Rhino, and it has to be wider, 72inches, and will look at the eagle. I would like to find one that had the tapered blade, it really throws the snow way off the road. I plow about 6 month / year, as winter is long. Reason I do not use the skids is that I have to take the road down to dirt if I can. Steep. I have the Moose Plow on my new Arctic Cat, and have had it on 3 other 4 wheelers, and I will keep using it .It has an option that I really like of wings, so that it can be used for a straight push, instead of pushing to one side, and that helps with the "sugar snow" that we get up here. I push a lot of snow off of a hill side. Makes it interesting sometimes. Never want to get the throttle and the brake mixed up. In case I didn't mention it, I live in Alaskan Interior.
Hope this helps.

 

if you have a polaris, the Glacier plow system and a 60" blade is the way to go.
