This is a link to a video of my Big Red plowing snow with the plow I made. Not very long or very good quality, but maybe if I can get my hands on a better camera I'll shoot another.

A few years ago about 1 km form my house there were atleast 6 bigreds with plows. It was actually very common to them untill now, since everyone bought quads.

Not bad. With the plow down I can steer pretty well, other than sometimes when the plow is on an angle it wants to push the front end to the side a bit with a heavy load of snow. With the plow up, as long as I keep the plow low so there is a lot of slack in the winch cable, it steers fine. A bit of effort is required for really tight turns.

The front tire grips really well, it is a Mudlite, and I have it turned backwards so the V is "collecting" rather than cleaning. It steers a lot better that way and wants to float more.

Hi! This looks very similar to a plow I'm about to mount on my trike.....is it possible that you could send me some close-up pics of the mounting system so I can figure what I need designed??? Thanks!!

Careful on how high you rev that thing!! The 85's don't have a rev limiter and are known to break the crankshaft if revved to high. Just a FYI.
