Default Plowing snow mess up engines?

My uncle told me that if you plow alot of snow with your atv, it messes up the engine, is this true? I just bought a plow for my wolverine and I am wondering if I will mess it up.

I think he's just messing with ya. If your running your plow on your Wolverine, there is no belt since its not an automatic trans. You have a manual shift on a Wolverine.

No worries.

Have fun with it!!

Hey, u could make some cash doing the neighbours driveway while your at it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thats what im planning to do. Make a few extra bucks, and start saving up for a yfz with the money I have already. Some people shuvle drive ways in my neighborhood for about 50 dollars or more, since the driveways are pretty big, I was thinking charging them about 35, so I just give them my number and ill come next time it snows, so i have some customers.
