I can see that messin up some concrete.

Ok, plow showed up. I did have to cut some of the U-bolts shorter to fit the push tubes in the bracket, nothing to hard. It went on smooth otherwise. Here are some pictures. If you wanted a plow for your atv buy buy buy I doubt you will find a new atv plow kit for under $170.00 shipped to your door.

Nice!

Looks to be well made too. Now for the test run video.

I have pics of the kit and the mounting bracket and it comes with the 5 position carrier, not the 3 position carrier it calls for so that was a plus.

snow is coming Sunday. I did clear my driveway apron with it worked great

PANDEMIC · 01-24-2019, 05:24 PM

one huge downside is you will have to remove mounting bracket from atv to do an oil change.
or I might just drill a hole big enough to fit a socket in.

The kit look heavy duty. I would just drill a hole for the oil drain plug.

PANDEMIC · 01-24-2019, 06:03 PM

the plow kit is very heavy duty almost scares me on how thin the ATV frame is in comparison.

Thanks for the update Pandemic.

PANDEMIC · 01-24-2019, 09:15 PM

Sure thing.

So on another note, I warmed up the ATV in my garage. Set the idle to 1440-1500 it bounces some. Drove it to my uncles 1 mile away when I arrived the engine stalled as soon as I came to full stop. I started it back up and it was surging from 1140 to 1320. Its cold out 17° F will the wind chill feels like -3° F. I didn't even think about the go pro for the ride next time.

Carb is the Mikuni VM26 it has the stock 40 slow and a 110 main jet with clip in the middle of the needle.

Darth Racer · 01-25-2019, 06:36 PM

Temps that cold I would just be happy it ran.... and started right back up after it stalled.

LOL was probably the fuel hose shrinking. Not sure of the temp range of the Rotella oil or whatever your using. Below zero effects on little carb parts and springs.... dunno.

Got the plow today... last one they had in the store... Tax Free Delaware too... NICE!!! Really cool store to visit... they had an awesome trout aquarium there stocked with every different trout there is.

Darth Racer · 01-25-2019, 06:38 PM

Almost forgot. Looked at my buddies setup today.... he has a full size ATV (brand name) and a 50" plow. Waiting to see what it looks like all mounted up but have a feeling I might cut a couple inches off each side if it sticks out too much.

Nice store but have to watch the prices on stuff I have 2 within an hour and a Basspro shop within an hour and a half of my house.

It was a bargain. "Bargain - Sale to good to pass up!"
