Anyone have a good used set of chains or a front rack for this thing?

Try strapping a sand bag onto the rear rack...

Ya but i still think chains would work better. Any idea where to find em or what they run?

I would post up a pic of me plowing, but we havent received any snow yet. I dont even have the plow bolted up to my trike yet.

Chains work really well on the ice, but will trash your concrete driveway... And they will beat up your stock Ohtsu's... But they run about $50

I know it...I need new material. lol. This is the only video I have of the bike plowing and it's from 2004. The bike just sits. I ride it like 2-3 times per year. I really have to get it out more.

I just plowed with my BR yesterday, but no pics. Mine's ugly (compared to Thorpe's) anyway :lol:

Lol yea I seen that one to. When is ice fest this year - I assume you will have it out for that?

p.s. what i really need is that big azz pin you have there to hold the blade position, mine just uses a loose fitted bolt. Any idea where i could get one?

I don't know. It came that way. It's a spring loaded lever to move the plow position.

I found this walk-around video on YouTube. The guy has 3 walk around videos. This link is for Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utwARpn0YUk

He's also got a bunch of good videos of himself actually plowing with his Big Red.

This is my concept,.....WORK very well!
Need weight on the front wheel(I plan to put prestone/calcium in the tire,...like on tractor)
Mine big red its ATC 200ES...'84
