    Nice set up. I had a plow on my 700xp Ranger and it did an awesome job. Wished I had a cab model, but still way better than a blower! It never gave me any trouble no matter how deep the snow was.

    I like that plow set up it's pretty simple overall. I have a 2019 Northstar. I had them wire in an aftermarket winch so I got the remote and a switch, glad you could do that on your own. That thing took out that pile you made pretty nicely. Nice video thank you

    Instead of waiting till you have all the snow piled up at the end of the driveway, first start out plowing there. You will have less to push and not make a big mess. Then push your driveway out. If you push a little at a time to the side, you won't have to do all that clean up at the end. Less wear and tear on the little four wheeler too.

    Install a 2" tow strap on your winch drum. I purchased a 2" x 20' strap with hooks on either end. Both hooks have a safety latch. The winch should hold 8 or 10 feet of strap no problem. Put one on the winch and save the other for a spare but I'll warn you, they last a real long time so you might have the other half lost before you need it. Start cutting the strap on a sharp angle about 8" from the cut end and leave a shoe lace sized piece about 2" long on the end. Melt the cut edges with a lighter or torch so it doesn't fray and make the shoe lace part tight and round. Install the shoelace and into the cable stay on the winch and tighten the Allen screw. Let the winch pull the strap in and voila! The first few times you lift the plow, it might seem like the strap or winch is slipping but it's actually just the strap winding up a little tighter on the drum of the winch. After that tightening has happened you'll never have to worry about it again.

    I was impressed by how much snow it could push and how easy it did it. But like you said it's definitely not very cost effective if all you want it for is to push snow. I'm torn between getting a small tractor w/ a loader & scrape blade versus a SxS like this. The pros to the tractor is that I can do more work like spreading gravel, hauling mulch, bush hogging, repair my driveway, etc but you can't joy ride on it or take on any trails like you can a SxS. Decisions, decisions.....If only I could afford both.

Although I am a believer I still fail under temptations sometimes but I do not want you all to make the same mistake if you take this path. Jesus gives the opportunity for all of us to be saved through faith by grace. If you confess out loud that Jesus is your Lord and your Savior you can be saved. It is very important to repent of your sins and say your sorry to God and Jesus for all of the sins that you have committed. It is also very important that you ask for forgiveness and obey God and Jesus. Also it is extremely important to be baptized.

    I got a plow with my 2011 one and it's connect up seems to be better based on what I am seeing here, but debateable I suppose not having it side by side to compare. I have an after market winch and I have the at the 2012 time line ...their plow and hook up bar I vaguely recall installing. I didn't start really using this plow until the last 2 years and on occasion...personally I think the plow sucks given you can't easily manipulate it right or left without getting out to adjust it and plowing up in piles is not that appealing to me when you have 100 foot runs or more to plow as it's more than this 800 ranger can push if the snow is of any depth. It's good for short runs and I like using it for grading the sandy soil here and that's about it...I have gravel driveway and pushing snow over gravel sucks too, it grabs onto the rocks and leaves a mess after it melts. Plows are okay on paved or concrete for short runs...if I had to do it all over again, I'd pass on the 1000 bucks that thing cost me when I got it, but I can say it's been used to my advantage doing some light grading too..so whenever it breaks, it won't break my heart...I won't get another I know that. Nice you have a heated cab...I got mine for around 12K though, I didn't spend what they are asking now for them...the UTV's are nice, but their price points are far beyond their worth in my opinion when you are going past 15K unless you use them year round and I doubt they will hold up to high demands like that...if I had to do that I'd have gone with a bobcat that can do a whole lot more/skidsteer that is. These things are lightweights, but handy none the less. Nice video!

    I have the year before yours/2011 that I bought in 2012 and got the plow at the time...didn't mess with it that much, but for grading sandy soil around the house I am building and pushing snow a few times...don't honestly care for it, but I have 150 foot of gravel driveway and I just don't like snow piled up and the rocks it winds up collecting...if I had asphalt driveway/or could afford one anyway..I'd probably be more into it. I would rather run a snow blower for 2 hours than deal with the aftermath in the spring of grading the rocks which I do with a 8 foot wide pallet I drag behind the Polaris which really kicks ass (James Hardie pallet from 4x10' sheets I used on the porch ceiling and soffits)...I put 3/4 marine plywood on the top of mine and stand on it frequently to trim trees, branches etc along the trails here I keep cleared off on 50 acres. I like the UTV, but the plow on gravel in upstate NY, not really digging it honestly...maybe I'll give it another try this winter and see if I change my mind...haven't used it but a hand full of times on snow honestly...works decent on my dad's driveway which is asphalt, but only when I tilt it to right or left on the first notch of the plow...otherwise it just spills snow like crazy out both sides.

    Thanks Earl. The new ranger Northstar finally came in the end of October. Been loving it for hunting. I added light bar front rack and brush guard. And a headache rack with winch. The winch sure was nice loading deer by myself. Still waiting on the plow. The plow and electric tilt is in but the plow frame is on national back order like everything else it seems. My friends use the skid shoes on the plow and don’t have much gravel problems. My tractor blade gets some off the driveway and in the grass. In the spring I put the box blade on the tractor and just pull any gravel back into drive then grade with it in the spring. I have about 500 yards of drive ways. No snow in sight yet for my area. (Iowa) loving the North Star cab and heat! No problems. have about 600 miles on it now. Best of luck and hope you don’t have to push to much snow. I just hope I see my plow this winter!

I looked at the wiring diagram for the hydraulic tilt and lift kit, pulled the cup holders out, found the factory plug that would plug into that kit and cut it out. Than hardwired the rocker switch into it. You can probably order the other end of that plug somewhere, i lost patience and just hardwired it. Good luck Shawn.

    Nice set up, been using Atv's and Utv's for decades plowing snow. You would save a lot of time to be plowing with bladed angle almost 99% of the time. When coming right out of the shop, starting to windrow snow over to lawn, taking just over half a blade on each pass after first one, will save time and easier on machine. Again nice set up, and way better than shoveling lol

    It can be a little jumpy if you are trying to inch it along. The newer ones have a 3 position throttle switch, while in the work setting stretches the throttle response out so the pedal is more forgiving. Only time I smelt (rubber smell, belt?) was during break in period after high speed runs. Dads 2013 has 11,000 miles and counting so I’m hoping this 18 is as good 😂 I may do the Gilomen Innovations ECU and clutch kit, may help.
