Grog, Yes, I have heard people say they don't like that step-thru design. It is different, but you can put a bag on that center console and carry stuff, as well as put a lot of things in that big front storage compartment. To each his own right? If everyone all liked the same things I guess this world would be pretty boring![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I still have to look some quads over well before I make up my mind. At least decide what will suit me the best for my applications.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Mountaincat - The mount I'm using is the Moose mount for the AC 500i. I got the part number off the Moose website. The plow kit consists of two components: the blade kit, and the mount kit (which includes the plate that attaches to the bottom of the AC frame, and the universal pushtube kit). I dont have the Moose part number for the AC 500i plate, but I can get it if you cant find it. This plate bolts onto the bottom of the frame, and is held on by 4 HD bolts that replace the bolts holding on the footrests. It is a real *&^%$ to get on there by yourself.

 

Mountaincat - Let me make one correction: the plow kit has three components. 1. Blade kit; 2. Universal pushtube kit; 3. Mount kit. I can get you the part numbers if you cant find them. :-)

 

You want to make it easyer on you when putting your bottom plate on, stand your quad on its rear rack and its a whole lot easyer.

I have the 60 inch moose on my quad. I picked the moose due to its heavy weight.

 

delta Thanks for the info. I am almost positive that the mounting plate for the 500i would work on the 400i because thye are the same frame and everything. I think that i will probably go with the 50 inch county plow blade so that if I want to push some dirt around it want be so bad!!!

 

After I left the Polaris Dealer yesterday, I took a look at their plow setups in their 2002 catalog, and I have to say that the Sportsman Deluxe Plow System looks like it is a great setup. It looks easy to attach and detach to the ATV. If I would get a Sportsman, this would be the way to go.

 

If price does not matter to you check out the blackline plow system it even has down pressur and the companey is coming out with hydrolic turn. Check it out at www.blackline.us

 

I have an Eagle plow and I love it. I can detach or attach it in about 1 - 2 minutes and if I want to go out trail riding where ground clearance is an issue I loosen four crriage bolts and slide the mount off. It is a two piece mount and the flat plate that stays on doubles as a skid plate.

 

just to tell you.. this thread ia about 3 years old now..

 

Thanks ! I never even looked at the date.
