Even with that setup the Tractor spins out sometimes when pushing over a foot of wet heavy snow. Today’s storm was the light fluffy stuff, so no issues. I also have a plow on my Honda Foreman 450 ATV, but that doesn’t weigh enough to push more than about 6 inches of light snow. The Quad plow is nice to get into tight spaces where the tractor won’t fit, or to use when the driveway isn’t frozen because the tractor would tear up the unfrozen gravel. Oh well, won’t have to worry about clearing snow anymore this winter, by the time I get back from the Villages it will be the spring mud season and the maple sugaring season will be long since past.
I have a Suzuki King Quad 750. I had a plow for it but after one storm it wasn’t really effective because I’d run out of space for the snow piles. It was fun but I sold the plow. I’m gonna have to sell the quad when I move to TV permanently. I will miss it.
