Trust me... Don't waiste your money on anything else. The 60 inch plow is worth every penny.

Now for the real test, the latest news report at 9 pm was 12 to 24" of snow .
now if I'm correct that will trigger a state of emergency report, that means you can legally ride to my house to do my drive way .LOL

We already have some 10" here ,and the quads are out up and down my street .
I decided to take mine out for a spin up to the main road tonight ,Man did it get cold out ? my bike didn't want to start ,I kept cranking it over but nothing then the battery went almost dead ,I stopped took off the seat so to hook up a charger ,and decided to give it another try before taking out the extension cord and BAMMMM she starts up. WHAT A BLAST ! I almost like riding through the snow as much I do the mud .

why plow the snow when you can just ride through it ???? img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif" border="0">

Ok, I feel approprately sorry. The least you could say is the blade is too wide.

The snow has one major advantage over mud. Cleanup is a breeze.

Finally got to plow some snow this morning, although admittedly the 2" of fluff we got could've been handled with my leaf blower, LOL.

Some observations:

1) The plow setup works far too well-

2) Plowing my driveway seems way too much like fun, instead of work-

3) The 60" blade on my AC does my driveway entirely too fast, much faster than the 48" plow setup I had on my lawn tractor-
and
4) #3 cuts way down on #2.

No... seriously- those are my only complaints to date BR>


Oh, yeah... and "the blade is too wide"!

Hey, jwoodsman... they better think long and hard before they declare a state of emergency nowadays... I'm gonna ride all the way to Deerfield for bread and milk!

Well, yesterday was the real test... and I'm quite impressed with what this thing will move. We got 18"+, not including the present the town plows left me at the end of the driveway, and the cat moved it all with little effort. Big thumbs up...

I had no issues starting the bike, without the engine heater, but idling was sketchy til it was fully warm-

Ya, everytime we get 1" or more of snow I tell the wife "I better get out there and plow before we get stuck here!" She is totally onto me now, and knows I just make excuses to get out and plow!

lol, I thought you had real complaints too!! I feel your 'pain' when out taking care of the snow. It's cool to be out on the atv, but the work is done waaay too fast. I almost wish I had a longer sidewalk.

I hear we're supposed to get hit with about 6' on saturday!! woohoo! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

It's starting to snow here now!

I sure could have used a country style plow with the foot of snow we got here yesterday.

cant wait to get a plow for my quad, dont really know y, but it sounds like everyone who has one is having too much fun. Just like my brother, loves to go snowplowing with my dad and i. He even does some of the parking lots, so excited. any recommendations on which plow to get? swisher, moose, cycle country, warn, ac-too many, no idea which one to get

ill probably only be doing our driveway and whatever neighbors dont have a contract with us with our truck, plowing for the season, and some sidewalks, so most likely ill bet getting the 50 inch, but that 60 inch plow looks mighty good too.

We've gotten a good 10-12" already as well. My driveway is 1100+ feet long, so those snow banks are starting to get pretty high!

EY n plus its the easiest way to plow peoples driveways to get a few extra bucks, I paid my rubicon off in maybe 4 big snow storms by plowing.

We got hit with about 15 inches here in Long Island. With all the money I made shoveling I am buying a new 60 inch plow for my rubcon (because I tore up my 48" plow yesterday in the snow storm) and I am putting a 48" plow on my wolverine.
