- Im using a Polaris Sportsman 850 Ultimate Trail to polw the snow from my driveway. It is shot all hand held by a novice! Still working on the bugs and learning new video software. I hope you enjoy the video.

You can flip the pin over and reuse it !! It’s a two ended pin
yup! figured that out and showed it in the next video... LOL
Atv!
YES!
850 is a good size machine.
I have a Suzuki 500 with a Boss hydraulic plow.
I think you would like the Boss plow and your machine could handle the V plow Boss makes.
I've looked at the Boss plow they are nice. Perhaps when mine is ready for replacement I'll look into it more. Thanks for the comment!!
@@bravo1xrayoutdoors625 I’m 61 and I got a Boss straight plow 5 years ago. I had been using a manual lift plow for several years. I don’t have a winch on my atv
It’s pretty nice being able to angle and move the plow up and down without getting off the atv.
Your 850 could plow very deep snow with a V plow but my 500 didn’t meet the specifications for a V plow.
I think I spent $3,000 and I think the V plow was a thousand more back then.
I will defiantly will be looking into a better set up once its time to replace it. Where I live now does not require too much plowing so it might be a little while! Thanks for the comment!! @@calvinreichelderfer7989
I got the gloss chalk 850. A very nice machine. I bought a 60" plow for mine and we haven't gotten enough snow to use it. I do really like how the plow adapts to the wheeler. Polaris for years has been the best looking and keeps getting better IMO.
I really love mine too! Super easy to hook up and operate!! Thanks for the comment!!
Nice video but you didn't have your red lever locked in downward position 9:50
Good Catch! I didn't even notice! Thank you for watching!
Flip the sheer pin , I took the long eye bolt out and put a short one in with a pully block , then I put a short hook strap on the nerf bar , yes , take the winch thriugh the block and snap the hook strap , one a lot more room , two you wont break the cable like I have many times .
Thanks for the tips and the Sub!!
I had a similar drive way ,eventually I cleared all the stumps and rocks.With better going you will be able to go faster thus slinging the snow back further.Nice atv
Thank you for the comment!! Im surprised on ho well it plows!!
Wow, I have hit all kinds of stuff over the years and never broke that pin, I'll be ordering one today just incase. Thanks for the vid.
It was a shocker when I hit it! If you watch the other video I posted, I show you what the look like.
im a diehard BRP (can am, ski doo) guy but that year sportsman is by far the best looking atv ever produced
Thanks Andrew. I have to admit that I’m a little partial to it too!!
It does look good!
Very good video of the plow I just got a 2024 Yamaha Kodiak 700 with a plow and I can’t wait to use it to compare!
I think that 700 wont have a issue!! Very nice machines!!
Yea I agree! Very well built and powerful! It’s not the same as Polaris I feel like the Yamahas have a bit more power
Make sure the red handle for the plow frame is pushed down into the lock position!! Just flip over the shear pin it has 2 usable ends...
I found that out the hard way bought a few spares too! I show them in my Pt2 video. Thank you for the comment!!
Nice, does it have enough power? How is the suspension? How is the realibilty? Which parts would you upgrade? Is it much lighter than a 1000ccm? Alsow can u compare it to other brands Canam, cfmoto?
Thanks for the comment! I'm 270lbs and the plow weighs about 100lbs. I have the suspension on the front on the second to most stiff setting and the 850 handles with out issue. There is more then enough power to plow up to 8" or so at a elevation of 9600' up hill. I have had a need for any upgrades yet. I've done a few "MODS" but nothing big. Heated hand grips, rear work light, front mounted light bar that's about it. I have about 700 miles on it now and so far so good. I just keep the wheel bearings lubed, change the oils and Check the air filter. I just completed a preseason service and did a full fluid change, plugs, air filter and pulled the cover on the belt. Belt still looked new so I just blew out the area and put it back together. The only real comparison that I have is my buddy has a Honda Rubicon 520. Both are great quads. He does not plow with his but it has gone everywhere that I have. We are not aggressive riders but have done some really fun trails and have been all over the Colorado mountains. 73
@@bravo1xrayoutdoors625 nice thanks
I have a 450 HO with the same plow but hydraulic turn plow, beats getting off the bike to turn the plow
That would be nice for sure!
I seen another video where the guy cut a slit in a pvc pipe the length of the plow for using on grass and gravel driveway. Ive never tired it but it may be something to consider. Good video
I will give that a try!! Thank you for the tip!!
How do you like your 850
So far? I just ordered one yesterday and i currently have a 570 eps. Also next time just flip your shear pin over you can use the same pin twice. Dosnt hurt to keep a spare on hand too.
I really do like it! It has all the power I need to ride all over the mountains of Colorado and push the snow we get! I mention the shear pin in the part 2 of my plowing videos. Thanks for the comment!
I appreciate this boss, I'm new to ATVs and snow plowing and I think the 850 is just what I need unless I can get a 1000 for cheap. We had our first rough winter and really need a plow system. Thanks for your perspective!
Check out my other video. There are some better shots of the plow working. Thanks for the view and comment!!
I really like your setup!! Looks like it works good!!
Thank you! It really works well. Thank you for the comment!
I have plowed my driveway now for 4 years now, and it works great !!
Love mine!!
She’s a tight unit, plows nice 👍…
It really works well!!
Nice machine
