When clearing large areas of snow, gravel, or even leaves, ATV plows are the quickest, most efficient tools. These machines allow the operator to easily move massive amounts of snow while comfortably riding and directing the blade. With a few easy additions, any all-terrain vehicle can become a practical snow-removal device. Whether you’ve already made the decision to turn your ATV into a snow plow or you just have some general questions, this site offers some valuable.
There are several options when it comes to attaching and operating a plow blade. Each carries its own benefits - it’s just a matter of personal preference.
Many ATVs are already equipped with ATV winches that can easily convert into a plow by way of a simple mount. They are operated by regular winch controls.
However, if your ATV isn’t already equipped with a winch, there are manual and electronic alternatives that will save you the cost of buying ATV winches and winch mounts. The electronic lift option involves a steel cable attached to a high-strength that connects to the front of the ATV. The height of the blade is controlled by the handlebar-mounted rocker switch supported by a wiring harness. This harness is directly connected to the battery, so the plow cannot be operated if the key isn’t in the switch. Many people prefer the electronic method for its easy use and convenience, but if you’re looking for a more cost-effective method, the manual-style lift is just as useful.
Manual lifts consist of a lever-style arm that’s accessible and offers direct and immediate control over blade height. Both these systems can lift a blade 8” or more which is higher than most blade-dulling curbs you might have on your street. The electronic and manual lifts are also both connected to a bracket placed high up on the frame and toward the back axle to maximize clearance and counter-balance the weight of the blade.
The blade is obviously the most important part for an ATV snow plow. Blades are tubular frame hardware made from powdered steel to perform adequately and durable enough to withstand all types of matter - making replacement unnecessary. Blades come in all sizes, from as small as 42” all the way up to 72” to accommodate larger vehicles. These also have different curvatures which create different spray patterns. Less-curvy and tapered blades send snow up in the air and far out of the way, while curvier styles contain spray distance and height to avoid damaging property. Blades also come in all styles and colors to match any ATV.
