Finally got around to getting some pics up.
Found this Cycle Country Plow after 2 years of looking for one. I was ready to give up and start fabricating something myself. Glad it came along. Paid $125.00 for it, pretty rusty when I bought it. Had it media blasted and powder coated black for $170.00. So I have have $295.00 dollars into it. The only thing I had to do was make a bracket to mount off the front downtube (the guy I bought plow from left his on his big red he sold), and I hung a length of chain off it connected to the plow. And also mounted a piece of 1/4 inch thick flat stock steel, 3inches wide, on the bottom of plow, so it takes a beating, rather than my curved blade. I think this was money well spent, in looking at its design and function, I would have to spend a decent amount of time fabricating to get the same function as this. I think Cycle Country has a good design.
Used it on its maiden voyage plowing the 5-6 inches of snow we got here in the Detroit area within the last couple days. Man does this thing work great! And fast! I"m stoked! I think it was money well spent. Hell, I"m not getting any younger, Im really starting to like "all things that are motorized and have electric start that help me get my work done"!! I'll I let my neighbor friend try it, he didnt want to get off, he said "this thing is fun"! He proceeded to plow half my long driveway, and all of his!
Very nimble and easy to get into tight spots. And with reverse on the big red, it sure made plowing fun and easy!! Next thing I'm going to do today is get it out on the lake and plow up the ice skating / hockey rink.
