ATV Plow

[Pulleye16]

Need to buy a plow for my 2009 Honda Foreman. What's everyone running? I spotted one and it came with a universal mounting bracket...are those okay or should I find one specific to my ATV? My parents newer polaris ATV's come pre-rigged to support a plow and it's very simple to use but I don't "think" my '09 honda has that.

I'll have a pretty long drive to plow...probably over a hundred yards. It's also fairly narrow which should make things interesting in heavy snow years. I'd like a snow thrower for the ATV but those puppies are spendy!

Any other tidbits on buying or using a plow? minimum size? I found am adjustable blade up to 60" which I think will be good.

When plowing start the winter going super wide.  Once it gets hard it's nearly impossible to move it.

We have a 2011 Grizzly 550 & a long driveway, almost 600'. We push the snow to the edges & then use our Berco-mac that's on our Husqvarna to blow it into the woods. Slow & easy with the plow is our M.O. if it's very deep and/or wet & heavy. I'm not sure what brand it is but I'll look.

I got mine at Cabelas years ago and fit right on my wheeler.  It is brand specific.  Came right to my door. Works great.

Do not buy a universal. Get one with a mount made for your machine.

Ours is a Kolpin & mounts to a plate on the bottom of the frame with just a couple small pins.

I also have a Kolpin on a Honda.  We put a 6” rubber extender along the top edge.  Also get rid of your standard cable on your winch.  After a few dozen times going in and out you will fight with that.   Aviation cable works much better.

How about Kevlar rope? That’s what’s on there now. I may pull the rope off in the winter and spool on webbing????🤷‍♂️

Our neighbor has a "winch rope" on his Polaris that looks to be mostly polyester to me. He doesn't use it a lot to plow but it he moves his Floe vertically lift for his 20' Ranger with it without any problems & it's a beast.

  We still have the OEM cable on our winch & no issues here.

Same here.  Have broke it at the end a few times but now I just don't lift it all of the way up so won't break.  The rope will break too if you raise it too far.

I have rope on mine, like it. I use it to pull the dock and lift in and for the plow.

We have 1 of these on ours. https://www.amazon.com/Winch-Stopper-Saver-Synthetic-Cable/dp/B0164MLA6U/ref=sr_1_16?keywords=atv+winch+stopp
