PROV 1,441 Posted November 25, 2020 I plowed 8" three weeks ago but it melted mostly anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sublime68charger 172 Posted November 25, 2020 Have had the backup plow on since August but that was for dirt work and such. Its my mini bull dozer so to speak and that blade takes a beating on things. Have had 3" of snow yesterday with rain today so I just let the rain take care of it.

shrade 197 Posted December 30, 2020 have a question for you guys who plow a lot. What type of switch do you have on your winch? my factory switch lasted less than one season, replaced it with a "heavy duty" 15 amp toggle switch, it didn't last much longer. Any suggestions?

I have a Warn winch with their rocker thumb switch. No problems with my last machine for 10 years. New machine and winch have 5 years on them and no trouble. Are you hooked up to the low voltage side of the contactor or the main winch power supply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBRider 1,406 Posted December 30, 2020 I've got the old school round contact switch, replaced it 4 years ago, it was 16 years old.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shrade 197 Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks for the response guys, . PROV I am hooked up to the low voltage side, not the main power supply. Will get to town tomorrow and try and find a Warn Switch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toodeep 1,758 Posted January 25, 2021 I finally got it done and got a Denali plow (uncle trumps stimulus is spent). Built a lot heavier, easier to hook up and a lot more clearance. A couple small test on it but I think it will outlast the moose. The pins alone made me happy as I bent them every push. I got some use out of my hoard of snatch blocks also. The website wasn't specific enough on machines with lifts but a couple mods fixed that. It wouldn't sit flat when angled without the extention. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akunin 348 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I figured I'd share. It's not on the Honda but man does this thing move the snow!! I've had several other plows over the years and after seeing this I was a little apprehensive on how it would perform but I was presently surprised. Angle is easily adjusted and the connecting and disconnecting works flawlessly. I don't even have to bend over to attach anything except the winch hook. Quad is a 2013 Canam Renegade 800r Xxc that is just shy of 700 some pounds and that doesn't include the driver. I should mention I first got this in 2017 and have replaced the edge twice.

TBRider 1,406 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I was thinking about replacing the cutting edge on mine, but I remembered I had 2- 2lb rolls of mig wire so I just built up the edge with that, I'll take it to a friend's in the summer and run a couple passes of hard surface rod.

Goober 1,555 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I put a used plow on the new 86 instead because i want to run that rig some more. actually found a NOS Cycle Country mount kit (15-1540 The bumper is mounted higher that the accessory bumper on my other quad. more slack—makes adjustments easier. But the push tube still held by the big old punkin on these Chili Peppers this manual plow kit (cycle country made two in ‘90s) is for later model quads that were higher and wider. So on this later model the lift handle interferes with the quad handlebar grip. Drive over Pin in the push tube (used old axe handle to lift the tube ends) Set the float, then the lift lock Edited March 14, 2021 by Goober 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcsman 1,381 Posted March 15, 2021 Goober looks just like the one I got when I bought my 98 450ES, easy hookup for sure... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
