UTV Snow Plow BUILD - Part 2

Fabricating electrically controlled snowplow from scratch for my homemade 4x4 utility terrain vehicle/UTV/ATV (build link below). I'm using pieces of scrap steel I purchased from a local steel shop thus the blade being rolled from six individual pieces that (conveniently) fit into my homemade sheet metal roller. The strengthening strips are cut on the homemade CNC plasma table (link below). To control the blade side-to-side movement I'm installing a 12v ATV/UTV winch. I built the plow frame and the blade in the previous video: • UTV Snow Plow BUILD - ...

Mayby add plastic rod on the corners of that plow so you see them more easily so you dont have to lift your head when plowing and allso ad pieces of reflective tape to the rods just like 20 or 30 cm tall rods

You did a magnificent job on the shoes; I haven't seen snowplows with better! Usually, the shoes are little circular pucks that get stuck in gravel, and they're just a pain in the butt. I'm definitely going to steal this whole design and build the face of the plow out of plastic, probably a big piece of a throw-away chemical tote, similar to the roof of your UTV. I love the winch to rotate the plow! Much simpler than hydraulics! I'm really impressed with your ability to look at what you want, and figure out a way to get that without a lot of drama.

[@OMGWTFBBQSHEEP]

Yeah, this!

[@Nifilheimur]

Yeah ive replaced the circular discs with mini ski´s on a few plows. Just make sure they are made out of Hardox or similar. amazing how fast they wear down.

[@laurilaaser2236]

If you install triangular plow, you do not need to have winch or hydraulics to rotate it. Only up & down, with a parallelogram, to keep it leveled.

I'm glad you suffered through that winch mounting publicly so the rest of us that have ever thought about doing something similar will know what we're getting into and might be able to bypass some of the earlier stages of failure. Looks very functional and durable in the end!!

[@Aspired329]

I figured it was going to be a snowblower but we will see...

[@JamesParus]

Looks like gearing and traction is good. It can clearly outpush what my polaris 800 can push. It would probably work fine with longer blade too.

[@owendodman3037]

I'd imagine this utv is in the same weight range as your 800 but this has a gear driven transmission and a 1900cc engine lol I'd be suprized if it didnt out push your polaris

[@jimbobkirkwood828]

If u want to really push heaps mate, just buy a small budget tractor and it'll do heaps

[@JamesParus]

@@owendodman3037 I'm pretty sure this weights 600kg at least. It has so much steel and car parts.

As someone who has done a lot of metal fabrication and design, I was especially impressed at the fact that You were willing to show the fail steps that led to the improved version of the "power angle" approach. The overall build quality and engineering design was stunning. Very professional. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

Awesome !!! Finished it just in time ....best part no hydraulics , simple and relatively easy to repair if a cable should ever break.

Прекрасно. У тебя голова и руки откуда надо растут, молодец. 👍👍👍👍👍.

[@ChevyConQueso]

This sounds silly, but I never once thought about the existence of right hand drive UTVs. Been overseas, in RHD cars, trucks and buses, but never saw one UTV; not once. Great work; looks like a very functional plow.

[@DonnDIY]

We have right hand side traffic and left hand side steering here in Estonia. This UTV just came out this way (with right hand side steering) while putting together the powertrain. I use it only offroad here on my property for running errands (hauling stuff mainly) so the steering position is not relevant anyway.

[@orangepickel2]

[@gustavocamargo9340]

What project is professional service 👍. It deserves a very good treatment to avoid corrosion, it was a 10 grade equipment.

[@ShainAndrews]

Has to be pretty satisfying to build all of that from scratch then put it to work... and it does what it is supposed to do. I like your constant tension design. I wouldn't have gone down that design road the first time.

[@ClutchTFS]

I designed a plow with the rotation feature using a winch similar to your setup. I noticed the cable would always come loose when it hit the limit of each rotation direction, and now I understand why you added the spring, brilliant!

[@Catrik]

Maybe you can help me understand why the springs arent mounted between the blade and the cables? I dont understand what is the benefit of having it on the winch, which seems to be more complicated.

Aww....I like your kitty kitty he or she looks frighten.....but that's an awesome build 👍🏿👍🏿

[@DIYTechRepairs]

I would put a proper actuator instead to turn the Blade. You need to build so it can resist full Force when hitting something Hard in One end :) neither less very Good build so far!!

[@purask]

Yeah, that's my thought also, but I would have used hydraulic cylinders instead, added a car power steering pump etc Nissan sunny to power it

[@DIYTechRepairs]

@@purask yeah hydraulic would be the best But larger electric ones can take a real punch. And i say this after have built and driven alot of clearing of Snow myself. When you hit that Hard thing in THE ground :)

[@raptuous]

yeah, here in Canada we have princess auto and huge linear actuators are cheaper than winches. I just put one on the dump box of my polaris big boss with 200 lb lift / 12 inch travel for $60 bucks and some bed frames from the dump. Painfully slow but it works.
