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

[Thorpe]

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?

[oldtime3wheeler]

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.

[Thorpe]

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?

[ChrisD]

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.

[Tordeur]

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
