If you dont keep the rpm's up on an auto(not including honda's)it will burn your belt up cause of the continuous slipping won't it

 

What would be a reasonable price for the quad and trailer package listed above, the quad has around 160mi. and I beleive it's a arctic cat plow.

 

Catterman, I have both Warn and Cycle Country steel plows. I coated both with the spray on pickup bed liner which stops the snow from sticking to the blade and holds up to blading dirt and gravel.

Rallyrider, I'm not sure who your question is to or what you are asking.

Yellowrider, you should always plow in low range which will raise your rpm's enough to get good clutch engagement so that isn't a problem.

 

camaross, I would think - depending on how fancy the trailer is - that you should be able to get that setup for under $6000. Does the ATV have any extras like tires, chains, etc? Also, with only 160 miles that engine still needs to be broken in, these 400's don't open up until about 300 miles. It is like a whole new machine.

RallyRider, I don't understand either.

Yellowrider, the Arctic Cat clutch is always engaged, even when not moving. There won't be ANY slipping with it while plowing. Reb2 is right, low range will ensure that RPM's are up. That said, I used "high range" all last winter with no problems.

 

i dont understand myself either. but how does the clutch be always engaged. it wouldnt come to a complelte stop unless in nuetral.

 

If the snow is real dry and light the 60" plow will be good, but if the snow is heavy and wet you are better off with a 50" plow. Better to make one extra pass than to make your quad work that much harder.

 

The 60" will work fine, even in the wet stuff. I have done as much as 15" of WET snow at one time. It took a while, but would have taken even longer with the 50" plow. On the Arctic Cat (Don't know about the others) when the 50" plow is at an angel it won't be able to clear a path for your ATV, and your tires will be riding on snow that the blade can't get. This is the #1 reason to get the 60".

RallyRider05, I don't understand the ways of the clutch, but the Arctic Cat is always engaged (I think the Yamaha is too) and kept tight, therefore less chance of slipping and longer belt life. Do a search in the Arctic Cat forum and I am sure you will find something there.
