    I like it when you can here the equipment working (no music). I gives someone an idea how hard the equipment has to work to do the job. I wish more people would leave the music off.

    I have been plowing with pickup trucks, front end loaders, and quads for some 20 years plus. Love watching someone who knows not how to plow efficiently. Keep up the good work. Most important, have fun, you'll figure it out at some point.

      Recently bought a '79 squarebody that came with a plow that I am working on to upgrade my plow game.

    The dreaded white stuff. We got our first S.Illinois snowfall of about 3 inches out of that storm. I have used a four wheeler plow for snow removal for years and it’s surprising how well they do!! Thanks for sharing👍🏻👍🏻

      Wasn't sure if it would be of much interest but wanted to keep the content flowing. We bucked up some wood Saturday but didn't do any filming. Thats the load you can see on the trailer.

    I really like the ATV , I want a tractor also but I just can't justify one but I could an ATV . The Polaris is a nice looking one and I like the Manuel reverse shift .

      I picked this one up back in late 2019 and it has been a workhorse with the winch on it. Then last year I added the Glacier plow and so far it has performed well. I have been looking at the RK25 tractors lately.

    Would it not be more efficient if You started in the middle of the driveway with an angled blade, then wing the snow from there to the edge on both sides. That way you eliminate the constant cleanup of the spill over and going over the same ground many times. Just sayin'. Still, I did enjoy the video and that Polaris does seem to be quite capable. Have a great day and Thanks for your video. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

    I have vacation property that at times there can be a foot of snow at a time. Do you think I would have any problems plowing that much?

      @ohiofirewood  23 дня назад

      That might be a bit much for one of these unless you keep on top of accumulation sorry I have been away from the channel for awhile but I would be interested to know how things worked out?

      You don't clear snow off your driveway? How do you park your car? Over here in Canada when we get a foot or two of snow you wouldn't even be able to move your car

    • @DanielAtkinsFirewood
      @DanielAtkinsFirewood 2 года назад +1

      @Miniaci : I am in Western Washington, and when we get snow, it's maybe 2 inches at a time and goes away after a few days..

    Thx for the video. Hey, the ground on my long rural driveway is bumpy and not very even from side to side. Does it follow the terrain well, or would it need lifting up a but before plowing?

    • @ohiofirewood
      @ohiofirewood  2 года назад

      I have the skids lifted up a bit on the bottom of the plow and use the winch to lift it up as I plow if I see it start to dig in too much to the gravel overall that works well.

  • @sknails2723
    @sknails2723 Год назад +1

    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?

    • @ohiofirewood
      @ohiofirewood  23 дня назад +1

      For the amount of snow we get It works very well no lack of power my only gripe is that occasionally the Polaris stalls when shifting from fwd/reverse but that may be able to be adjusted. I did look at a 1000cc CFMoto SxS but stuck with this for now.

    did you have to install anything underneath the polaris for the plow to latch on just wondering because I have the same four wheeler

    • @ohiofirewood
      @ohiofirewood  2 года назад

      For the install it was Three pieces the plow, pivot, and small frame. They all go together as one piece then you just position it under the front of the 4Wheeler hook up the mount and winch. once you put pressure on the winch it kinda snaps to the under frame of the Sportsman 570. Theres a release handle to drop it back off and remove.
