UTV Snow Plow BUILD - Part 1

  • Опубликовано: 24 окт 2024
  • Fabricating electrically controlled snowplow from scratch for my homemade 4x4 utility terrain vehicle/UTV/ATV (build link below). I'm using pieces of scrap steel I purchased from a local steel shop thus the blade being rolled from six individual pieces that (conveniently) fit into my homemade sheet metal roller. The strengthening strips are cut on the homemade CNC plasma table (link below). To control the blade side-to-side movement I'm installing a 12v ATV/UTV winch. Build continued in the next video.
    Stay tuned for future videos! Thanks for watching!

    I never really appreciated your videos until I started to notice how many other channels I like to watch have turned into just talking. You don't do that, you just get right down to building whatever it is you're building and you don't say a word. I like that and I hope you don't change your format because there are people like me (I think) who appreciate that. Good stuff!

    I wish I had tilt springs on my plow, but it would be hard to reengineer. It looks like you have a good design for your plow.
    On my dedicated snow plowing machine, I have tilt and lift cylinders from a plow I got at the scrap yard, and I plan to use these along with the included lights.
    I plan to use a rear from a hydrostatic Cub Cadet mower on mine.

    Just a educated thought Donn, metal etching primer is key to stop rust b4 it can start!!! Use a snow plow off a atv on mower and both blade and mower rusting, use a cheap harbor freight winch to lower and raise, great idea on the side to side, would ready cut down on off and on changing angles on blade, thanks for the idea!

  • @Crewsy
    @Crewsy 2 года назад

    Bring on the snow. In Estonia that is. Winter has met its match with the DonnDIY UTV and plow.
    However I do think you’ll be rethinking the trip spring setup. They seem weak plus I believe the 2 springs connected together will separate when the blade trips and snaps back upright.
    The winch for power angle is brilliant. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Great Video Donn .. years ago I had a atv with a snow plow .. the winch had steel cable ..did not last long rolling back and forth over the same 4 inches .. hope the rope holds up better for you .. keep a eye on the winch rope if it breaks while you are driving ,, well the plow makes a real good emergency break and the person driving go's up and over the handlebars .. a friend went threw his windshield .. also a good idea if the plow shoes are adjustable for height .. till the ground is frozen , I have had to rake a lot of stone that got plowed up ..

    • @Crewsy
      @Crewsy 2 года назад

      Just an FYI. It’s not rope. It’s synthetic winch cable.
      Supposed to be longer lasting than wire cable. Either way it is much nicer to use than a traditional winch cable when using it to get unstuck since it doesn’t develop the splinters you inevitably get in your hands.

  • @grosseileracingteam
    @grosseileracingteam 2 года назад +1

    You do really nice work. Just FYI though, you actually do want play or slop at your blade angle pivot point not only to let the cutting edge of the blade follow the terrain but also because the tip the cutting edge changes height when the blade is angled.

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  2 года назад +1

      The slop will develop naturally over time with wear and tear. 😀 I do have pretty level-ish yard and driveways to plow so no worries there though.😉

    Great fabrication ......As usual.....A future proofing suggestion though. You have welded on the scraper edge it would be better bolted on, it's a piece that will wear out pretty quick. I have used the bolts that hold 'rock teeth' onto the front edge of tractor buckets they are counter sunk so sit quite flat and are really strong. .......................keep up the good work.
