Store bought PLOW?

[wheeler]

Fleet Farm carries several different plows for ATV's. I'm wondering if a guy could but the mounting system separately without having to buy a whole plow. The price for the plows are around 300 buckarenos so is this a good idea?

How wide is that plow? Polaris sells a 66" wide UHMW plow for just a little more. Polaris ATV UTV Sno Glide UHMW Poly Snow Blade 66" | eBay

The mounting brackets would be easy enough to make.

Ya Know, I guess that's something that I should check out. I'm not sure. I suppose I need to order the brackets that connect to the axles and fabricate the plow brackets myself. My kid has a welder so I will have to tax his brain to make one up for me.

Plow brackets? You mean the mechanism bolted to the back of the blade that allows it to angle? I would buy that with the plow blade. The brackets that bolt on at the front axles would be easy to make.

The frame piece between the plow blade and axle bracket. I'm assuming that it is too narrow where it connects to the machine, and needs to be expanded to fit on the axle brackets. The stores plows are for four wheelers of course so I would need to do that modification.

this was very helpful when building my plow. I could find everything used on craigslist.

Wheeler: yes, that modification was assumed, but at least you would have the blade angle mechanism.

814cannob: thanks, Pictures really are worth 1000 words.

I'm trying to construct the same DIY plow that SiliconTi http://www.6x6world.com/forums/max-a...sive-plow.html made. I have everything figured out except how to make the axle brackets. Lots of people say that they are easy to make but I am a man that needs pictures to get an idea. If anyone has homemade ones or even factory ones that they could take a picture of so I could see them and copy the design it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Demo

I'm not sure what type of AATV ya have but here is a link to some mounts that one can buy for a Max IV. At the very least it can give ya an idea on how to fabricate some type of mount. It's the ninth item done the page.
