I drank every time you said "were going to go ahead" ....now I'm too drunk to assemble my plow

[@masterlink1336]

Mine bent, both ends bend backwards. Unless your plowing styrofoam peanuts. Not impressed in Alaska!

[@jacobsonshaun01]

I dont know what the complaints are about this. This thing works great on my Ranger 700. Dont be an idiot and try and ram snow at 20+ miles per hour. Have some common sense about it and you will see it moves snow great.

[@mattmixell6518]

Recently bought one of these plows good quality product but everything was labeled wrong number wise had to put it together without directions Customer service does not respond to emails Good product bad attention to detail at manufacturing

[@andrevallieres624]

Same here, almost all of the pieces were wrongly labeled, but the bolts and nuts were ok, overall a well made product.

[@kimers137]

Good instructions until you hit to the part THAT I NEEDED! Mounting the mount on my machine. As usual, no detail!

[@ChuckWood]

Because it's a universal fit, you're going to have to figure that out on your own

[@markalton4610]

I am attempting to put one on a polaris 450. Its gonna require some custom work. Honestly wish I would have bought something different now. Where this mount is supposed to be my battery is in the way. Wouldn’t recommend and I haven’t even used it yet

[@coreyneedtoknow3959]

For Kawasaki Teryx...the square ubolts...need about 1/2" extra clearance on the slots right where the plow arms would come up. The only one shown in the manual is for the mule. You guys have the clearance on the inside gap where the arms would come up...but if you guys would cut those slots a little longer open...then boom. As it stands...tomorrow will involve so drilling. :/

[@coreyneedtoknow3959]

Oh...and I know it costs money...but if you guys could make the pictures a tad bigger and maybe with colour...that would be awesome.

[@bigkid757]

I’d be concerned about the receiver mount on the bottom of the atv getting trashed when riding on the trails since it hangs down reducing ground clearance.

[@gsolo328]

Can we go ahead and stop saying go ahead?

[@suprarider202]

Be nice if there was a close up of the skid mounts and little plates so I know what direction they go in

[@reader5611]

Those are bolts that you use with washers and nuts, not ‘screws”.

[@doublereed29]

How many Rat-Tat-Tats of my impact it 17ft-lbs? ;) ;)

[@kyleblazing8900]

Good thing you didn’t use a tourqe wrench to 17 lbs, because I did and the cheap Chinese hardware that comes with this plow had 3 carriage bolts snap in half on their own.

[@CCWSig]

doublereed29 it’s half a dugga dugga. Or tighten till you hear the ping and back off a quarter turn.

[@AlexM-nl6nx]

I bet 90% of the hate on this plow is from a competitor and/or disgruntled customers who used it wrong/ couldn't figure out how to put it together.

[@smww503]

Less than impressed with mine which I have on a cf moto z force 500.u bolts won't stay tight and break easily.mount moves forward and back.cant find replacement u bolts anywhere

[@thesoundpurist]

I don't even like mounting IKEA furniture. Can you imagine?

[@Dave-ei7kk]

I have plows on a 1990 Honda FourTrax 300 and a 2001 Honda FourTrax 500 (Rubicon). The plows are branded by CMP and Moose but CMP (Cambridge Metal and Plastic) actually manufactured both of them I think. Both ATV’s are still in operation with their original plow blades and mounting hardware. And both have spent many hours plowing many driveways here in Minnesota, especially the older one. After watching this video, I’m glad I didn’t buy that bolted together lightweight Koplin plow. It doesn’t look to me like it would hold up to the rigors of the plowing that my CMP plows have. The CMP plows are constructed of heavier gauge all steel construction. And the plow blade and push tubes are all single welded together assemblies. Sure, you can’t pack them into such a small box so they’re cheaper to warehouse and ship, but I’ll bet mine are a lot stronger and they have stood the test of time. I’ve gone through at least 5-6 1/4” X 3” X 60” steel reversible wear bars in the older plow. So it’s seen a lot of use. I know someone is going to accuse me of shilling for a competitor of Koplin. Not true. I’m just an ATV owner in snowy Minnesota. in fact I own some Koplin accessories and generally have a high regard for their products. Just not this one.

[@TheDylanPlayer14]

I'm gonna buy 2 of these and make a 144 inch blade.

[@dudleydorite7678]

I purchased 3 of them now my wife is my wing woman

[@bendepeel7846]

Love my kolpin plow on my vector 500 this thing pushes snow almost as good as a truck well worth it yah get what yah pay for go kolpin now for a gun boot and trail hunting

[@Steveh112]

He doesn't explain the 2 different sizes. He's making it full length, but if you want 60" leave one of the short brackets out, and put the 2 long brackets on the outside and the short one in the middle.

[@fortherepublic698]

Can you please make a video for a cfmoto zforce 500 trail eps..

[@slednecker87]

Is this the same install for the general xp1000? Would I have to remove my skid plate?

[@Elkfever]

I have a moose plow mount on my UTV, this plow mounts on a much wider mount, ugh!!

[@ezmirza]

Excellent Video nice step by step make it very easy. I just order one the good part is you could choose two different sizes 48" or 60" blades..

[@charlierasmussen400]

These work for an atv to the plow is just larger so it the mouthing bracket.

[@markpalkowski9673]

the holes do not line up,on the plow or the ware blade. the directions do not tell you everything. run from this three piece plow

[@AlexM-nl6nx]

Holes lined up fine, perhaps you are just not mechanically inclined.

[@kyleblazing8900]

You get what you pay for.....cheap price, cheap plow with Chinese hardware and shotty mounting options. Do yourself a favor and Spend the extra $200.00 more for a quality moose or warn plow system that will last a lot longer.

[@nannamoonpiee]

Good video

[@RCjunkie]

I think I will do mine at 48"

[@CCWSig]

I’ve had snow shovels sturdier than this thing.

[@AlexM-nl6nx]

You haven't

[@samwilson1767]

That looks like a pain in the rear. Seen much easier plow system.

[@ChuckWood]

Saw

[@Steveh112]

I'm really confused. IT says UTV in the top line and ATV in the description, so which one is it? I'm looking for the UTV one.

[@mudslinger704]

Did you watch the video? Lol

[@dorich33]

What gauge metal is the blade?

[@alexl5649]

13 gauge according to Kolpin

[@dudleydorite7678]

Believe its 13 gauge plastic
