I will say after the snowfall we had this year, several storms dropping over 14 inches. This plow held up great. not 1 issue with it.

Worth every penny and beats the hell out of shoveling, great videos guys

Thank you! Definitely beats the shoveling!

The best part about it. Snow removal really looks like fun. Think I will head out to Crappy Tire and pick one up. On sale right now for $ 359.99 Canadian dollars.

I was thinking of upgrading my switch blade to the high rise with poly board. Never had a problem other than pushing heavy, wet late season snow. Video helped confirm upgrading is a waste of money

I plowed for years with a old 350 Yamaha wolverine finally killed it,went and bought a 420 rancher with a 60in cycle country blade an it does well, that 450 is big enuff if ya take good care of it!!!

I just got my Kolpin Plow installed on my 700 Artic Cat.... We had 8 inches of wet snow this week in New Brunswick Canada. Plow worked great.... I need to improve my plowing strategy to reduce the number of passes on the driveway. We also have a gravel driveway & got hocked up a few times.... I do plan to install chains on the rear wheels..... great video guys

There is a hack on KZread to put a length of abs pipe over ur cutting edge for gravel driveways and lawns. I’ve done it. Works amazing. Plow awesome 👍👍

Seems like a really good plow for that price point , we have the Polaris plow , which I can say is nice as far as mounting and connecting but for that price you can’t beat that.

Awesome job I have a 570 kfi it's been about 300 love that plow yours look like he did a fantastic job thank you for sharing catch you later

I have one on my foreman 500 I got it about 3 years ago for around 200 and it is awesome, I list the plow as I am coming to the end to stack the snow and I’ve made piles as large as my 8-6 v plow can make. I’m sure kolpin didn’t plan on it being used as hard as I do but I didn’t get it to be nice to it

I have a Sportman 500 HO with that plow and I love it. More than does the job and takes a beating. I swapped out the steel blade for a ploy one. And I put the flex antennas on the corners for visibility. 👍👍👍

I bought an old Sportsman 500 that came with a factory 60inch plow, I had my doubts because I could tell the plow had not been used much. The shoes were set too low and the springs were far too loose, once I had everything dialed in I was really impressed with how much snow I could move with it.

Had a few different plows for various machines over the years, this one looks a lot lighter but maybe that’s a good thing as these machines generally squat from the weight as they’re not exactly sprung heavy like a tractor or non existent like a skid steer. Might give one of these a try

@LetDirtFly

You'll still get some squat. but it is fairly light for a plow.

Awesome going to get one and your review certainly helped me...thx brother 🙂🙂🍻

I'm not sure why you pushed snow towards your house. Does it melt and run away from the house? I would push it all in the trees across your driveway

Nice job

I have a ‘16 450. The instructions I got only have the 570, 850 and 1000. The 570 looks the closest but its not right. Did you drill holes and whatnot or am I just dumb over here?

Not sure. Haven't hit any rocks with it.

How about the install? We just put one on a Suzuki last week and I've never seen so much grinding, cutting and modifying to make the Universal mount fit the chassis so the front wheels didn't hit it. First it was too far forward then it was behind the winch. Not to mention the hardware count topped off over 200 pieces. You guys seem to be honest about everything but I'm calling you on this one.

In the back of the manual to build it there is a section that shows the bracket to use for eack machine. The pictures were a little dark and a little confusing. It took me a few to realize where they wanted me to mount it to the frame. The only thing i had to grind was the bolt length. Sorry to hear it was a real bear for you to install.

@@sethharman3006 Thanks for getting back to me. All the money the guy saved on the plow he spent on labor for the install. On the off season I buy as many used Moose plows as possible for resale in the fall. Moose is a big enough brand that they have mounts for just about everything. The customer can get his own mount for his particular machine and I'm out of the equation! I kept a 50 and a 55 inch for my 2 Brutes. Thanks again, looking forward to riding 3 wheelers in a month or so.

You should have a electric blade to change the angle of your blade, so you don't have to get on and off the machine.
