Polaris General - Plowing 450 feet of driveway in 10 minutes?

[@paul9792]

Does a heck of a job on 2” of fresh powder.

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

Paul, It does a heck of a job of 10” of fresh powder too!

[@jtltet]

@@steffenoutdoorswi does it work in a heavy wet snow?

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

@@jtltet 8-10 inches of heavy wet yes. After that I usually bring out the tractor because I can clean the driveway but not wide enough for the next storm. The tractor helps me move the banks out so there’s room for the next storms snow piles.

[@noworriesmate5903]

When I was your son's age I had to shovel a 350' driveway with way more snow than that and walk to school 4 miles up hill and back home up hill. 👍

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

450 feet of driveway start to finish. Including mounting and unmounting the plow. Enjoy!

[@turboman4736]

Video starting to be pretty good too you put that crappy music in there I'll soon listen to the exhaust of the Polaris

[@oldmanhobbies9554]

Great video and thank you for sharing. Looking to get a plow for my xp 1000... probably next year. The video is great, but the music was too loud. I think most of us would prefer to just hear the noise of the machine rather than music.

[@EdWeibe]

Ebay bruthuh Look up motoxoutlet out of othio. Got mine in 4 days.

[@EdWeibe]

bruh, the music. Makes me wanna go plow even there isnt any snow.

[@rickmartyn55]

Dump the music.

[@kentrush8250]

Thanks for sharing!

[@oldmanfunk8924]

Would be nice if you listed the equipment used in the video as well as the supply source...

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

It’s all Polaris parts. The plow and hydraulics and the general 1000 deluxe were all bought from Powersports of Abrams. Wisconsin, 15 minutes north of Green Bay.

[@bobbg9041]

The boys are all outside having fun, hopping the girls are making cookies and hot coco to come into. Snow days a family fun day.

[@pbsfix269]

Power angle, quick attachment, that plow is sexy.

[@fasdude38]

I look up a bunch of these videos and always find it soothing. As a car guy, I would rather listen to the music from the engine than actual music, but that's just me. I'm looking to buy a SxS myself. Can you tell me what wheels and tires you have on yours as well as their sizes? I absolutely love the look of them. They look like they belong on a HUMVEE. Living in eastern Canada, we can get some massive snowstorms, sometimes one after another. I would eventually like to match my SxS with a Bercomac snowblower on wheels.

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

I have 2 sets of tires, off-road and road tires. I’ll have to get the tire specs and get back to you. I’m just west of Green Bay Wisconsin so don’t get the storms like east of here but we do get plenty of snow.

Constructive comment; - No music is better...way better.

[@ericahooten4937]

What brand is your windshield and does it have a manual wiper or electric. Enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

It’s all Polaris. The doors, windshield, plow, everything. The wiper is electric and does spray fluid (sort of) from the top of the windshield. The fluid spray is a little weak but gets the job done. The switches for the wiper and fluid are mounted on the dash.

[@ericahooten4937]

Awesome appreciate the response. Love your setup.

[@funtyes1970]

i would like to get a UTV with heat and A/C especially heat keep windshield defrost when I'm plowing

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

Sometimes heat would be nice. I keep a towel inside to wipe the windshield clean. I don’t always need it, mostly on really cold days.

[@funtyes1970]

@@steffenoutdoorswi just saying it would be nice . but we don't really need it . it really come down to how much money we have to spend on a UTV . I'm sure UTV with heat and A/C isn't cheap

[@boater1707]

Filming from the inside of the machine in my opinion was useless. I did skip forward and started filming the machine in the plot working from the outside. Thank you.

[@pegsclips]

Andy has a blast clearing off the neighborhood with his SxS.. sure beats using a snow blower doesn't it?

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

Much better! Better then the 4 wheeler too! It’s so nice in an enclosed vehicle!

[@ziernyc]

What model is that Polaris plow?

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

It’s a 72” plow. I got the hydraulic angling feature which is really nice. I can’t find a record of what specific model it is. It’s pretty light weight.

[@ToddBeck]

Would you ever give up the snowblower? In your videos you seem to always have both running. I have neither, and am trying to decide if I need one or the other, as my driveway is a little :-) shorter than yours.

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

The snow blower is great near the garage. Other than that, the General does the rest. Close to 450 feet of driveway so it would take 3 hours to clean 2 inches of snow but I do that in ten minutes with the General. Near the garage , I can clear most of it but not all. Plus, dad loves to run the snow blower even where it isn’t needed, lol. He loves to help and I’m going to let him. 😁

[@ToddBeck]

@@steffenoutdoorswi Thank you, sir!

[@RT-tn4ry]

WOW 2 inches of snow , big whoop !

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

@@RT-tn4ry 6”-8” takes the same amount of time. You be you though. The general clears a shit ton of snow very quickly.

[@brentalexander3459]

Try that with 12 inches of snow

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

We didn’t get that much this year. I’d still be done in less than 30 and the 4 wheeler is useless when it’s that deep.

[@arrowem]

what year general? How deep have you plowed with it?

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

2019. I’ve plowed 10” several times and 13-14” twice. I used to use a Honda Foreman 500 with a 50” plow, the general plows easily 3 times what the 4 wheeler did.

[@jasonwookie2049]

Music is horrible otherwise I would of stuck around an watched the video

[@dwightschuette8960]

It looks like 15 minutes.

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

If you include walking to the garage, mounting the plow, etc, etc. Drive time 10 minutes.

[@jasontaylor9871]

Put a little car wax on that blade, it'll make the snow fly off of it.

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

Good idea!

[@TedJ77]

@@steffenoutdoorswi Also add a rubber snow deflector to the top of the blade. Helps the snow curl on speed runs and keeps snow from coming over the top of the blade.

[@neilcunningham6282]

Good thing you don't get a foot of snow

[@steffenoutdoorswi]

We do sometimes. 3 or 4 years ago we got 30”. That took longer to clear.😉
