🔴 Watch Next: *ATV Snow Plowing & Snow Removal Tips* kzfaq.info/sun/PLWeQZSOnzi9WLWv1s7Wj6CGJ58Wz7g8Nm

I've been using my 2016 Honda 420 Rancher to plow my asphalt driveway here in northern Vermont. I have a 60" Tusk plow blade which works great. The only down side of plowing snow is where to plow it to leaving enough room for future snow accumulations. My driveway is 90 feet long and 20 feet wide with a 40% grade It's steep but my Honda handles it great. In the meantime, I use a Cub Cadet XT-2 garden tractor with a 42" X 24" snow blower attachment to handle the bulk of the snow and only use the ATV with the plow for snow management and backup.

I have bin plowing my driveway for 15 plus years. But I have a 360 Kawasaki and no troubles with it. BEST INVESTMENT I EVER MADE.

I’ve been plowing snow for 35yrs with ATV’s & I live in a subdivision where we get a lot of snow. I’m always being asked what is best a plow or blower. I always tell people to get a blower. It’s not as fun as the ATV & you’ll have less maintenance. I had a Polaris & a Suzuki with plows. I hated the Polaris & the Suzuki was much better but I learned a lot from the first 10yrs of plowing before selling them to get a new camper trailer. Then I got a blower & liked it more because I didn’t run out of room to push snow & it was faster. One driveway I did I had to plow the snow across the street because there was bushes on both sides of the driveway. I was without a plow for 5yrs & I told myself I would never plow again but someone seen my new Honda & gave me a used plow. I had a winch & hated it that I built a pulley system with lever on my rack to lift it. When plowing you need to be aware of your surroundings & study the driveway first before the snow falls. Before being aware I have tore up grass & ripped out sprinklers, which I did fix. Plus it’s hard on the machines & I would have to fix the plows, luckly I had a welder. Sometimes things are hidden in the snow that you hit hard & break stuff. The salt they put down on the city streets were also hard on them. I have run out of room to push snow & the city dosen’t want us to push snow across the street but I do it if I run out of room. I mostly ramp up snow & had one 10’ heigh but when the snow is wet I can’t push it off the top of the ramp. I do 12 driveways & some sidewalks. There’s days I have to use the blower & ask a neighbor to clear the sidewalks with their tractor. When I plow I have to get off to shovel snow in front of the garages. You can get alot closer with a blower & it is a lot faster in a subdivision. What I really want is a tractor to move snow with but I am thinking of getting a blower for my ATV because I can’t afford the tractor yet. I had one driveway that the ATV was faster on & it was a small road going to their home. I could gain enough speed to roll the snow off to the side but in front of their garage the snowblower is faster. It depends on how much snow you get & how big your driveway is. Also depends if your streets get salted. If I get a new ATV I will never put a plow on it & I would get a tractor.

Thanks for the information. I have been waffling on whether an ATV can handle my 400' long gravel driveway. I live in N. Saskatchewan, so we get LOTS of snow. Your video along with many others I have watched, have convinced me to go for it. Much like you, I was cruising by my local Polaris/Arctic Cat dealer and they had a Polaris 400 HO with 800 miles on it for sale. I worked out a deal on the quad with a brand new winch and Polaris plow. I am getting it delivered this Friday, and am nervous but excited for my 1st snow. Your video made me feel even more confident that I did the right thing. I have been using the RM`s grader to plow me out and they are reasonable at 50$ a plow...but rates up to 75$ this winter plus they always tear up my grass and I spend 3-4 days every spring raking up all the gravel they push onto my grass. I think if your 400 Arctic Cat pushes snow on your 1/4 mile long driveway, it will handle mine as well. I have never plowed with a Quad before, so ill have a learning curve filled with trial and error...but in the long run I feel good about my decision now more than ever. Thanks again for the video and new sub to your channel. Enjoy the new UTV!

I like the Click N Go overall for how easy it is to put on and take off the atv/quad. One caution I will say is when snow plowing on an angle, dont hit anything rough or you will bend the aluminum pivot locking link. I have done it twice now and while you can replace it, it’s a bit of a PIA. I will also say, a lot of the ability to move heavy snow with the kimpex and and a ATV is your weight, plus the weight of the ATV. If the snow is heavier than your setup, it will push you around.

I plow 5 miles of rugged mountain road with a yamaha kodiak 700, thing is a beast- just have to solve the' winch cable snapping' dilemma

That little Suzuki would be the ultimate plow rig! Plowing snow with an ATV is certainly effective, and fun. I plowed with an 03' Kawi 650 and noticed the big issue was traction, it had more than enough power but I had to get a set of chains to prevent spinning out constantly. I bought a 21' Kodiak 700 SE this past summer and have the plow hooked up on it, hoping we get some more snow than we did last year here in the Maritimes! Cheers.

I have a 2022 800xc cforce and just bought a KRI plow. Everyone I talk to says atv's plow much better than sxs's. Can't wait.

I can tell you, whether or not you should have tire chains really depends on the area you're plowing. If you have a long level driveway/road and/or large open lots, then having tire chains is likely not needed, because you have plenty of room to pick up and carry the momentum needed to push snow. It usually doesn't require much momentum, but you really notice when space becomes more limited. If you have a smaller driveway, yard etc to plow, especially if the area you're plowing is on an incline, then running tire chains is going to be best. The thing about using tire chains, you can stop in front of a pile of snow with the blade down, and take off pushing that snow without a problem, there is very little wheel spin, so you can get much more power to the ground. I've plowed in both scenarios, with and without tire chains, using the tire chains is night and day better, no question! They are not terribly expensive, and are fairly easy to install. It truely is a good investment to have some around if needed. And you only need them on the rear tires, having them on all four is likely overkill.

"I needed a toy"

Just subscribed to the new channel. I bought a 2020 cfmoto cforce 400 last Spring. Planning on plowing with it this winter. Thanks for all the informative content, sir.

You've got all the good toys Roland :)

Take care and stay safe

I’ve got a Honda rincon 650 with a plow works great I don’t have a big driveway but definitely beats the hell outta shoveling plus I do lots of the neighbours at 35 a driveway plus sidewalk makes good money

Awesome. I bought two CFMoto Cforce 500 quads this past summer. We have ridden the heck out of them. Plenty of power, amazing suspension and superior build quality. All the bells and whistles and WAY less that Polaris, Honda etc. we bought that same blue one and an a lava orange one. I also ordered a plow. :)

I have a brute force 650 just installed a plow on it , it’s the click and go I hope it works as good as what people are saying, I’m sure it has enough power, just waiting for the snow very good video thanks

Enjoyed your video!

take a bit more time but yes it is

Great vid bud.

Where are you located, just to get an idea what kind of snow your're getting.

Awesome brother like the toys, how’s the fishing doing

Now that you’ve had your KFI and Click n go for a few seasons, if you were to get a plow for a Kodiak 700 or maybe a Honda foreman, which route would you choose? We are located in Utah and get a ton of snow. The ability to really raise the angle on the click n go 2.0 system is really appealing to get it up and over the banks. Also interested in the food pedal so you don’t have to lean down all the time. Plow would stay attached for the entire winter so the quick removal isn’t a big deal. Thanks in advance for your comments!

.3 of a kilometre = 300 meters = 984’ 3” = .18 of a mile

Great video What are you going to do with your little 400?

You thought of every way possible to justify to your wife why this is a good purchase 😂 👍🏻

Can you plow with a atv? I would say it depends, Is there somewhere to push the snow, and how much snow there is. If you have a long driveway where its not possible to push snow to the sides wery much then it may not be possible to push the snow all the way forwards and you will have to begin from the other end and take it in sections plowing the snow over the same part of the driveway several times. For most peoples though i think its very possible and works fine.

I just bought an atv, I’d love a side by side but my garage is full.

I’m looking at getting a new arctic cat arc to plow snow

Dang I wish I would’ve seen this video two weeks ago. I just bought an old plow truck. I would’ve rather had a new ATV.

Subbed here brother.

You seem to have a tractor and blade, it would have been more rounded to include why you don't use that for snow plowing .
