Oh, one more tip: park it so that it is ready to plow! Keep the blade up a bit, so it doesn't freeze to the ground. Drop the blade and start plowing! So, you want to have it facing out, with the plow pre-positioned in the correct direction.
I disagree with the statement of keeping your plow up. I keep mine down on the ground to keep the weight of the plow off of your quad while its not in use.
MotorMike are you speaking from experience, I have never had or heard of a plow freezing to the ground. If it is a problem I would try putting cardboard or a piece of wood under the plow before I lowered it, but I definetaly would not keep the plow raised up.
Hand warmer and thumb warmer is a MUST!!! Don't go crazy on the blade size unless you need it. My prior was blade was 60 inch and was too large for my size driveway. I prefer going a tad smaller and making more trips. Easier to work with when you get hit hard with deep heavy snow.

This is the plow that came with the ATV when I bought it. Anyone out there ever use one like this? I can drive up to it and it slides into place and seems to be good.
I had one that I installed on a Honda Rubicon with some modification. Great plow!

Now I need to get some shorter winch cable or go with syn rope for the season. Princess Auto has Aircraft cable/Winch cable for $.19 a foot for 3/16. I might just do this and get about 5 feet of it.
tow strap eh? I have l0ts of that kicking around. Now I have never taken a winch cable off before so is there anything I should know? and how would I fasten in a tow strap so I could use it?
well, different winches have different ways of attaching it to the spool, and usually there is a small hole that you could screw the tow strap onto the drum, but not all do
and you could try searching on here, I know it has been brought up before
