To save yourself from over working your equipment. When plowing heavy wet snow. Plow your curb line first then move your center over..

Tires make a huge difference. For snow plowing, my preference would be for more of an all terrain type tread pattern. Back in 2013 when we had similar weather, I was driving an 1985 Nissan 2wd pickup - V6 / 5 speed manual - mounted Firestone Winterforce radial snow tires, & just a steel contractor cap for weight. I was driving thru snow up to the bumper, the tires were like velcro. I only got stuck twice - when I was frame deep in snow, then stopped & attempted to back up. When I got the truck moving, it was nearly unstoppable.

Merry Christmas and keep the great videos coming!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Couple of sandbags in the passenger footwell will make a difference and one sandbag in the rear bed. If the plow is not digging deep enough you can use a tractor weight on it to give some more downforce. If its digging too deep and still causing traction problems then drop the plow and give a bump up so its not all the way on the ground for the first passes. Also lower tire pressure will give you more traction. Let some out until you see a little squat in the tire. Many sxs run 14ish psi in the tires but you could probably drop to 8-10 to experiment. Just don't do any high speed runs in summer until you air back up.

Enjoyed your video brother… Merry Christmas

Really? Disappointed? it's a recreational ATV... not a snowplow. Snow with higher moisture content is VERY different & heavier... often called Heart Attack snow.... the ATV weighs the same as a Goldwing or Harley motorcycle & you're disappointed it's not plowing snow on gravel? sounds like your expectations are higher than the equipment is designed for. looks like it did just fine. try putting some salt/sand bags in back and or engaging the axle lock for better traction & use low range .. not high range. good way to burn up the drive belt in high range working it...that's why it has low range.

Im in S.E. Mt & I have a Honda Pioneer 1000-5. I have 3 60# sandbags in the box, plow in 4wd and in low gear. The 2 big snow events we've had so far were not a problem at all.

Thinking the same thing.....going too fast when plowing snow.....did not appear to be in low range. Still looked like it did okay to me even in those conditions! Just purchased the 2019 zforce 1000 with plow. Sweetheart deal from my brother (Thanks Kurt)! Picking up on Friday.

If you would have put it in 4x4 I bet you would have stayed in the zforce. The reason you love that Suzuki so much is the power to weight ratio is probably twice as strong as the zforce but you put a 1000cc engi e in it and it would do circles around the Suzuki. I find people forget how heavy side by sides are and that having small engines in them aren't the best idea. Thanks for sharing.

Ive been dealing with the same very powdery wind blown compacted snow here in south dakota for last 4 days also. Packed so hard that plow wants to ride up on top of the snow. Stuff just doesnt plow very good. But my 800z been gettin it done. Even in -40 windchill with 40mph winds.

Wonder how their 1000cc uforce would do? It's a lot heavier I think, looked at one and was super beefy and the 3 wide bench seat was awesome. Can enclose it like a Kubota or tractor.

I have a 03 Suzuki eiger with a plow and tracks and I can tell you it will push any kind of snow. It is my little work horse. I have a 2022 cforce 600 that I haven't setup yet for snow but it will get tracks and it'll be interesting to see if it can do what the eiger does. BTW tires suck for plowing just cant get the traction like tracks do.

@@FANATICALSIDERIDER you can pull that relay that is clicking and swap it with one of the others to eliminate it being the relay. But more than likely the actuator went. Mine was clicking at the relay as well. I paid $65 for a new one. It's was pretty easy to swap out.

28 inch tires and rng clutch then you will want to make it your main plow rig.

Its cold on BOTH sides, unlike a car where the heat inside warms it and the melts it on the outside. If it never warms up, the snow won't stick. Some people leave snow blowers and plow blades outside over night for the same reason.
