Just bought a new Rhino 250 and am going to install a 60" snow plow

Another winter of snow plowing has come and gone, the Rhino is starting to show her age with some rust and some of the plastic body pieces breaking off but always starts and goes & plows well.

The only issues I've had were the electric system fried a year ago when the wire for the brake switch came in contact with the exhaust and shorted everything out. I tried replacing some electrical components but it didn't fix it. I direct wired a switch to the starter solenoid and that's been my fix for that. The factory lights & neutral light don't work but the battery is charging when running so all is good. My after market items work fine too. Last year I also had to change out the rear brake caliper as I wore right thru the pad and then the caliper was eating itself. I was surprised by that, It's not like I use the thing much to where I even thought that I had to think about brake pad wear yet.

So I took off the plow and chains thus making a formal declaration of spring.
