I grew up with a green Honda rancher with ES and it was the most reliable machine I’ve ever owned, being a farm atv we beat the snot out of it day in and day out and you wouldn’t believe how reliable it was to us.

I purchased back in 2016 a brand new Honda Rancher 420 with EFI. I installed the push button electronic shift myself the following year. No one had a new one in stock with the ES in the Honda Phantom Camo. Still have the machine today. Still looks new and runs like a top. Best ATV made.

If the guy you bought the orange ES from had a paved driveway, the feet on that plow are likely adjusted for that instead of your gravel top driveway. A couple of suggestions, to take some of the load off your winch, use a small pulley bolted to the plow and wrap the winch line around it and back to an anchor or strap on the front of the ATV. Don't strap around the rack like most people do, or you'll end up bending it. But that will help with wet, heavy snow that likes to stick to the blade when you get heavier snowfalls. You might find that reversing the cutting edge on the plow blade may help it dig lower into the snow, most of them are reversible. The cutting edge is the small 2" bar at the bottom of the blade, bolted on with 5-6 carriage bolts. Lastly, you'll find plowing a gravel driveway will leave lots of gravel on the grass in the spring. Most people use a rake or one of those gas-powered 2-stroke spinning brush heads to push the gravel back into your driveway. I know it sounds crazy, but the best way to clean the rocks is with a shop-vac. I've been doing it this way for the last 8 years and the same $80 stainless steel shop-vac. It takes me roughly 3-4 hours to vacuum the rocks off my lawn versus using a normal rake, and its way easier on your back. My driveway is a bit shorter than yours, but the area in front of my garage is roughly the same. Just make sure the shop-vac you use has a 2" hose and not 1-1/4", the smaller hose will constantly clog up with mud, leaves and rocks, the larger hose will not.

I’ve been plowing for 35yrs on a couple different machines & I like my 01 Honda Rubicon the best. I wasn’t scraping very good & removed those skid shoes on my Cycle Country plow. Made a huge difference but not good when the blade falls into an expansion joint on a cement driveway breaking cement off or stopping the machine but I mostly keep the plow on an angle & never had issues especially on sidewalks. As for the cutting blade goes it’s cheaper to buy a pice of strap & drill your own holes. Last one I bought was for $13 out the door for 4’ that’s 5” wide. I put my holes close to one edge & works good for back dragging. I noticed the plow on the Rancher is tilted back some using the top pivot holes & I use the bottom holes on my plow to keep the blade more upright, also I can pick up the plow higher going over curbs. I also recommend using a pulley on the plow & hooking the cable up on the rack. One other thing is use a winch cable rubber bump stop. I’ve seen so many broken cables & bent push tubes. I stopped using a winch for that reason before I knew about the bump stop. I use a manual lift I built & it’s faster to use plus I can feel the ground under it. It’s great when I go over grass to make paths to the sheds. My neighbor who bought my Dad’s old quad liked my lift system that he built one like mine. I have a handle mounted on the front rack with a cable that goes to plow on a pulley & hooks on rack but if I was doing a gravel driveway like that I would prefer using a winch to keep it up from digging up the gravel. I thought I was the only one to vacuum the gravel off the lawn & the neighbors would tease me about it. I tell them I vacuum the lawn & mow the carpet. That was a lot of work & I started using a push broom when the lawn is still matted shortly after the snow is all melted to push in on the street so the steet sweeper can pick it up if he comes. Just last year I got a leaf blower & that’s my preferred way to get the gavel off the lawn & clean the curb. If I had a driveway as big as his I would be using a tractor but it’s not as fun. I live in a subdivision & plow 12 driveways & sidewalks. There’s a lot of times I wished I had a tractor instead. If I end up with another quad I would put a blower on it.

Another nice score! 👍🏻 Hey, if you ever have traction issues plowing snow with your Foreman, I would highly recommend getting tire chains. I purchased some for my Grizzly 700, and it is complete night & day difference, traction with them is quite impressive! I went with the diamond style v-bar chains, but the ladder style ones are cheaper, and work just as well on tires without huge lugs for the cross chains to fall between.

Nice work ! I think you got a great deal on that with the plow and winch and everything for $1,400 . Those little metal tabs on the bottom of the plow are called “ shoes “ and yes you can adjust them to a desired depth so your plow ‘ floats ‘ at whatever height you want to set it at . They may be worn out and need replacement I don’t know , but that’s an easy fix. As far as the smoking engine goes, WTH just drive it around the yard prior to your next bbq and it will fog the mosquitoes lol 😂 Multi purpose ATV !Hey it’s a Honda ! That thing will run forever !

With the orange Honda and plow where the push tubes meet the plow is a bolt on either side each bolt has a square block that can be turned to the setting of choice. Turn it too the setting allowing to lay the top of blade back towards the bike. This will make the load you are pushing, push the blade down forcing it to cut.

Pretty sweet atv, I have an 02 Rancher 350 4x4 which is the same orange but it's the manual shift version, got it in a trade. Someone ripped the rear plastics and rack off to use for mudding I guess which is unfortunate but I hope to one day get some replacement rear plastics and the rear rack to complete it. I got it running and it runs great and rides and the 4x4 works great especially after I replaced both front cv axles.

Nice machine and great deal. I kinda like the orange color. I would use a pulley and an axle strap to ease the stress on the winch while plowing. You also want to adjust the height of the plow shoes for your gravel driveway. The pvc pipe hack on the wear blade works well to with gravel driveways. I did videos for both on my channel. Enjoy the new wheels 👍

I bought a regular thick tractor blade at a metal supplier. Took my old blade and had them punch the holes where it needed to be near the top. Much bigger and thicker than ATV blade. Mounted with the flat end down so I wouldn’t dig into the dirt and it works great and on top of the plow. I took an old car tire and cut the center out then cut to size and mounted it on top to keep the snow from going up over it. Both adds weight very good thing. Just FYI Your plow look like it’s missing or needs adjusting behind the blade there are metal tabs that keep the blade straighter up and down.

Great video Joe and I have some advice! A neighbor and I both have this exact orange 2001 Rancher and we both have older plows. He has the Cycle Country like yours and I have a WARN brand. Last winter we traded for a few days so I could clean his carb. He could not believe how much better mine plowed. It digs through the snow. It wasn't the machine, they are identical. The only difference is the weight of the plows. Mine is much better built/reinforced and therefore much heavier. I am currently welding reinforcements on his Cycle Country to make it like my WARN just to get the extra weight. Throw a sandbag or something on yours and see how much better it gets.

Nice buy!! the 2 things honda's don't like dirty oil and dirty air fillters. First over piston.rings.timming chain and tensioner and hope the cam lobes are still good and it will run another 20 years on honda parts (If still available).

You should check those front wheels. It looks like they’re bent from the clip of you pulling it off the trailer and driving it up

Remember it is a dry sump. You are supposed to start and idle a few minutes. Let it sit for a minute and then check the dipstick! Do not check level cold

Maybe you could make a linkage that would apply force to the plow from the winch both up and down. It would have to be solid, not a cable.

$1,400 for 4x4 Rancher is a heck of a deal! I can't justify buying a new machine when these old used Hondas seem to run forever. I used a 1985 Honda Fourtrax 250 (RWD) with rear tire chains for 18 years. These machines were made from 1985-87 before the more popular TRX300 (1988-2000) appeared. My 250 is one tough machine, & I will never sell it. Last year, I upgraded to a 1996 Honda TRX300 4x4 for plowing, however. The 4WD is nice when backing uphill with the plow on the front of the machine. Backing uphill would hang up the 2WD machine at times.

I'd invest in some redline to add in the oil.,or fuel for that four wheeler to clean out the resonator baffle filter screen inside of the muffler. Before it ends up getting clogged up. Cause it will end up burning up the oil rings inside of that engine if you don't clear out that baffle screen soon.

I used to plow with an ATV and blade and found it took forever. Ended up getting a walk behind, less fun, but way faster.

Good video! I always put a little weight on the back of my Kawi when I plow but it looks like you were doing ok. Does that have a limiter of some sort for reverse? Mine does but you can override that w/ the button.

I noticed that the plow set lower, until you sat on it. Your weight on the back of the machine caused it to tip and lift off the ground about an inch.

I'd bet a 300 Kingquad also makes an excellent plow since it has locking diff and super low range.
