ATV plowing 12 inches of snow in Ohio

honda rubicon plowing 12 inches of snow on February 5, 2010 with 60" county plow

[@CCWSig]

Good old snow belt... Thanks for posting.

[@GOOFYatvguy]

Nice set up. I have a 2004 rancher 350 fm4. I stated plow first day I got it still runs good. I plowed some many drive ways with it at $25.00 a pop. It paid for my rancher plus I bought a 2012 Honda Foreman with the money left over. Here in Toledo Ohio we don't get that kinda snow tho like the belt around Cleveland. No Snow No money.. NIce video

[@PovertyPointCustoms]

Great video!

[@sldl04]

That is freaking awesome-----I love your video. We just bought a Honda Rancher and we're getting a 60' plow for it this coming winter. A lot of people have told us that we wouldn't be able to plow much more than 6 inches at a time with it, but you've proved everyone wrong. You moved a whole lot of snow!!! Honda power!!

Nice to see a fellow Ohioan :P I'm from Lorain.

[@foodcats7066]

Very nice

[@anh0731]

nice job!

[@1teddy1979]

Put chains on and you could take full blade width and depth at once I put them on my rubicon It made it almost unstoppable now. It is so impressive what an 800 lb machine can do I was shocked I never thought I could get rid of my snowblower but I was wrong

[@Bryan1055]

Yeah, that is a cool ATV. I find when I plow my area (parking lot about 150 feet by 100 feet) I lose a lot of snow on both sides of the plow, even when I have the plow slightly angled. Do you experience this too?

[@fishproet]

Do you like the rapid system better??? and how long does your wear bar last on the moose??? mine is on its last year i have to find another wearbar for mine. poor plowing this year cause of low wearbar

[@teton99]

4 wheel Drive???? Do you necessarily need a four wheel drive for plowing snow with an ATV or can a two wheel drive handle the job? thanks

[@donabele1243]

So how much of your lawn did you need to fix because you plowed it up???

[@vrcun]

based on your video, i will most likely get tapered plow, now moose or kimpex, not sure yet... thanks for vid...

[@GixxerGuy]

i remember the 14 incher last year, it would do it just took way longer and you couldn't piddle around u had to have speed.

[@empresslori]

@grafitti911 : uh no, that was at least 12 inches. The bank was higher than 12 inches, which can easily be seen from the video. Just walking through the snow - I was easily stepping in 12 inches or more of snow. We just moved south from Andover, Ohio and being only 30 minutes south we get far less snow here in Cortland. Just north of Hwy 322 is the 'snow belt' so we're not complaining. And if we lived in any place where temps were -20 or lower, my wife would move - with or w/o me!

[@datv72]

What tires?

[@heyitsjk9508]

I live in north east Ohio too and we're supposed to get like 10 inches

[@TheAudiGamer]

All polaris are good to plow with bcz they are heavy and robust.

[@TheAudiGamer]

How many cc?

[@empresslori]

Geauga? R u getting more snow than Trumbull? That's a lot of driveway, man! My wife's been doing the plowing lately since I've been busy...hope she doesn't start to enjoy it! LOL...

[@empresslori]

thanks man. Always looking for an excuse to get 'toys'! ;)

[@phaze500]

dam take that out of low buddy, and wheres the shovel? oh the lawn is suppose to stay put lol

[@gamerjosh91]

That Isnt 12 Inches, And Thats AFTER You Have Already Plowed It. So It Just Pilled Up Where You Showed Us. We Have Had Almost 3 Ft Of Snow @ Once... My Uncles Dodge Couldnt Even Clean The Driveway Off. We Paid A Road Crew Member To Do It For Us :D

[@shannonsnyder6756]

Looks like a dry snow not a wet snow Its rolling off the blade to easy

[@thegreenskeep1]

Daaaaaaaammmmmnnnn! Is it me or is that a lot of snow? Nice video though.

[@looseballs1966]

10 inches of snow is nothing Where I used to live in north Idaho there was a region known as the snow belt of that area, average yearly snow fall was about 5 feet, but we had a real bad winter 94-95 and I had 11 yes 11 feet of snow in my front yard, and in the mountains out here it isn't all that uncommon to get like 14 feet in a normal winter.

[@chappelchastain9194]

true but still a decent amount for a atv

[@empresslori]

Standard tires from dealership

[@empresslori]

@TheMreverything10 about $8100 brand new for everything. That was summer of '08.

[@jakejake500]

i just bought a 2012 polaris sportsman 550, anyone know if the 2011 sportsman 550 did well plowing?

[@deklyndenison2535]

Jake F I had a 2007 polaris Hawkeye 300 AWD it did awesome

[@empresslori]

@ThePolarisman99 i'm happy for you. aren't atv's great?!

[@pugholland]

@sunstars100 Yes. It can push a car in its way

[@empresslori]

@gamerjosh91 You are aware that there's different types of snow aren't you? Maybe your uncle's Dodge was trying to push 'wet' snow which would, of course, be harder to move. With a smaller vehicle, like say, an ATV we can definitely tell the difference between pushing 'wet' snow and 'dry' snow. A continuous wet snow requires narrower strokes /more strokes. My husband is 6'4" and the snow easily comes up 12" up his leg. Ur a 'gamer'? This is real life, not a snow plowing game.

[@biggabear8]

@grafitti911 yea the copper country is some of the worse for the snow LOL

[@empresslori]

500

[@carvdecarv]

lucky sob

[@CodyJohnstonbaugh]

2wd with chains maybe a little bit of weight would work
