Doc Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 So here we are almost done with April, and I have to figure out exactly when I can pull the snowplow off the ATV. It's not a real fun thing to put back on if snow decides to give us one last dump. But I do have springtime chores where the plow limits where I can drive. I think I'm about ready to take a chance. Hopefully any snow that we get from here on I can drive through or wait for it to melt. I think the odds are pretty small that we will get any more significant accumulation. I say that remembering that we have gotten 6" storms leaving some pretty sloppy-gloppy snow behind in May (but that is rare). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philoshop Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I took the back blade and chains off the tractor about two weeks ago so that I could get firewood out of the woods before the belly mower goes on. It's definitely about timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneHunter Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I took my plow off the ATV last week and am keeping my fingers crossed ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Took mine off last week too, but I left the bottom mounting plate on & my son got the tav stuck, because of the loss of ground clearance, cause by the plate. My son, the ATV and my son's buddy came back covered in smelly mud !! LOL! I took the plate off once I got the machine cleaned up. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HectorBuckBuster Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I take mine off all the time. I can install mine in a couple minutes. All I have to do is drive over it, hook up the winch cable, then winch it up alittle this picks the whole plow and frame up, i bend down line up the pins, turn the handle repeat on other side then done.

gfdeputy2 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Took off my plow a couple weeks ago & have the york rake ready just in case rather use the rake instead of the plow in the spring does less damage to the driveway + I am ready to put in my foodplots if the rain will stop long enough to turn the ground over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
