Sled, how does that four wheeler work when plowing wet heavy snow like that? We hope to move full time in next couple years to where we have a little three season cottage near Rhinelander and the drive way is long. Not looking forward to snow blowing it.


this was "THE" test. i had a blower on my tractor for years and finally got sick of 1. removing and replacing mower deck/blower and 2. storing the stupid thing, so i got the blade on the ATV. i love it because now i rarely have to do the plowing because the kids love to do it and it's really convenient and a money/time/storage saver in the long run.

i have it on a 450 Grizzly and faced 18" of snow from a dead start in the garage and i figured the odds were against me to make the first run without getting stuck in which case i was phuckled. i lowered the blade about half way and blasted off ... made it!! i cleaned the driveway and our road just fine with it and only used a half a tank of gas.

you will love it! ... after this snowfall i'm going to put a blade on my 2nd ATV so that we can have 2 running at the same time.

No you don't ... unless you like shoveling roofs or home maintenance.

Location: Janesville wi		I plow snow this time of year as my source of income and we've been pretty slow here in southern Wisconsin so some snow would be nice.

We've got nothing on the ground here in #*#*cago. Seeing those pics makes me wonder if I really want to move up to Vilas or not. I'm thinking Vilas under 2 feet of snow has GOT TO be better than this!
