The cycle country plow is very heavy duty and the people there are good to deal with.They even sent me new hardware when I left my plates on and bent up the ubolts that hold on the plates underneath. They sent them free of charge didn't even have to pay for shipping.They have there part numbers on their web site also. I couldn't get any info for parts from my dealer but there web site listed everything.The only thing I can't say is I haven't plowed that much snow the last two years as we haven't had more than two or three major storms each year.The set up is easy if you keep the plates on. I leave the tubes and plow connected,lay the plow on the floor,hook up the winch hook to the plow to take weight off the tubes and line up the holes in the tubes with the holes on the plates, put the pins through and attach the clip on one side. If the plates are left on it takes about 10 min max.Maybe someone further north can give more feedback. Hope this helps you out.

 

You might check out the new Swisher plows. I don't have one,I have a "moose county",but they look like they have a superior mounting system. It's way up front and high,you don't have to lay down to hook up.

 

You should chat with the folks at Montana Jacks www.montanajacks.com I bought my WARN plow from them, as well as the mount plate. The Warn installation on my Rubicon was incredibly simple, not much time at all to bolt that sucker to the bottom.

Taking the plow on and off is as simple as two cotter pins under the frame on the mount plate, rock solid plow setup. I am thinking of getting the plow lift actuator this year, or just continue to use the winch to lift it.

Montana Jacks will negotiate on prices, too. Nice bunch of folks up there.
