You really need to be able to visually tell when you have reached the highest lifting point of the blade when retracting the cable. Also a large spring mounted on the end of the cable and the attachment point on the blade helps to absorb the strain of over retracting the cable at the highest point of the lift.
Delete the opening music - (ff to see the good stuff) this is a really good idea! Ive plowed with various trucks over the years and the Vertical lift is much easier on the equipment. good on you for such a simple solution. an easy add on and yet another reason to have that welder in the garage :) and see? I told you I was going to use that scrap someday :D
i installed one i had lying around, i think it is strong enough. consider, many garage doors are pretty heavy. worth a shot since it won't kill anyone if it breaks. I usually keep a spare cable or a ratchet strap in case the cable breaks.
Thanks for your advice, the atv handled it fine all last NY winter, couldn't be more pleased. I was actually quite impressed with how well It pushed even heavy snow.
@@sheisillme Exactly!! I have used a 60" on my bike for five years now and my bike has zero issue pushing large amounts of snow and even wet snow. I even have the sides on my plow, so I move A LOT of snow.
A simple and effective solution. In addition, it's easily removable. Well done.
Necessity is the mother of all inventions. Good work sir!
I've seen several different ideas for this problem and this is a clever fix thanks
Brilliant idea, indeed this setup for my Viking. Broke the cable 3 times today...
good job man! I just bought a new plow for my Kodiak 700 and i had been thinking about this problem for a while. Looks like a great solution.

My damn cable just broke again you really should get a patent and make a fortune on that I would buy one today
Dude that is F....... cool! Nothing to bolt up just set it on there!!! I like your idea! Now I gotta go out in the shed and study my Honda lol

Good idea , but how high can you lift the plow ?? For pushing banks up .
Plow lifts until the plow frame contacts the wheeler frame. This device actually increases the height it can be raised.
Curious: do I need a higher pound rating on the pulley, or, can a garage door pulley work here? Thx....D
Seems like that would work

Warn proadvantage 54" standard plow for the win. 60" is to big for the Brute force 750. 60" is for a utv.

👍👍
great idea
Great job! Looks like you used a little science there, haa.
Awesome, great idea 😎
very cool man! they do make these now, not sure if u knew or maybe they stole your idea $$$$
