Yamaha Grizzly 700 w/ 60" Warn Provantage Plow

Another plow vid but with more snow...about 8-12 inches. I was out of town for a couple days so there was a layer underneath that was a bit hard because it got really cold out. Seems more satisfying to plow the driveway with more snow in it :)

Add some sand bags on the front and rear racks,,100 lbs on the rear and 50--100 on the front and it will push much better. Some stock tires are junk for plowing,,,, bighorns are good, and Euro Excavators are about the best. Have had no luck with mud tires with a v tread on slippery ice and snow.

I like yamaha blue. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Congrats on the new machine!

[@duanemerchant3979]

nice job and it looks like a lot more fun then shoveling.

[@xhyway01x]

Yes always in low. I think the 54 inch will be a great fit for the 450.

[@xhyway01x]

For sure man. It was my best investment ever!! And snow removal was made fun again....especially when you have a big driveway. You have a nice machine there, put her to work!

[@xhyway01x]

I have the springs set to Max. I find there is no advantage for a lighter setting. I had the plow buckle on the Max setting and there was no damage from the hit...it was just an ice shelf underneath. As for the blocks I had it set where the plow was set at the most forward setting. The height of my tires made the plow look square to the quad anyhow...if that makes sense. It was the best of both worlds to scrape and scoop.

[@kylefitzgerald4419]

yeah I will the first day I get it witch it is in a week or 2 it is the one that is blue with aluminum rims it is very nice it is still in riverside Yamaha

[@GETATMEoNET]

i did get the 54inch and i just had some questions for you...... what tension do you have your springs set to and where do you have your stop blocks set? thanks in advanced

[@cbk982]

Stuff like this is what atv's were really built to do. trail riding is a bonus and i think all machines should be geared more like a hard working yamaha

[@xhyway01x]

@blazin9683 Lol, I feel ya man. I've been waiting a long time for some snow as well. I'm just glad I got to use my new investment this year. Crossing my fingers for you.

[@xhyway01x]

@tgardone Thanks man! Cheers.

[@blazin9683]

Send some of that snow my way!! It's the middle of January and we don't have shit...lol

[@tgardone]

Cool vid, did a nice job too.

[@cdawg4391]

always put on stiffest. My AC 400 (and arctic cats are notoriously stiffly sprung as compared to other atvs) is used for plowing and even I have to set it at its stiffest setting.

[@timber66]

I see you are using the double line rigging. According to my instruction I have to set it up with a single line rigging. Do you think it will be just as solid as yours? Mine didn't come with the strap for double line rigging. Maybe with the newer model they only offer single line rigging. I have a 2018 grizzly 700 LE. it should be fun. Nice video.

[@xhyway01x]

I did it this way to slow down the raising and lowering of the plow. Gives more control. The plow came with a cheap plastic pass through which broke so I just attached a snatch block to pass the line through to come up to the rack. Yours will be just as solid, just a faster motion.

[@GETATMEoNET]

do you plow in low? im thinking about getting a 54" for my grizz 450

[@markd6266]

I bought this Quad about 7 years ago. The mounting bracket was the shittiest design ever. Ended up breaking the frame below radiator and when I welded it it handled poorly afterward. It handled way better in the mud the lady I purchased it from was cool as hell though. 48783 Michigan.

[@stelthcamo357]

Does your front lift up when you plow snow? My front end lifts up taking trackson off the front wheels. My push tube seem to be angled up to high when I push snow. It picks the front up alittle

[@xhyway01x]

Mine didn't lift up. My front end did feel a bit light depending on the angle you're pushing and how much snow. This will happen with any quad. But it didn't affect traction.

[@scottfurlong5475]

I'm changing my plow to mid mount. It's front mount now and I'm after bending the bracket twice and I'm terrified of bending the frame ahead of the diff.

[@xhyway01x]

Thanks for your comment. I took some pretty good hits with the plow and no bending what so ever. I love the extra clearance I get while raising the plow. 2 winters ago I took off the plastics to go over my grizzly and the frame in the front looks good. The only maintenance I did to the plow and mount was paint. Hope you have better luck with the mid mount!

[@MoraviaHunter]

What winch do you use? I have 2500lb and it can't hold the weight of my 60" tapered blade.

[@xhyway01x]

I have a 3500lb Viper max winch. It has load brake on it so it won't drop the weight. Not all winches have this feature.

[@MoraviaHunter]

I have 2500lb Warn winch. I guess it has no brake.

[@eatshitful]

You must have a different warn winch then me. Mine i can stand on the blade and it will hold.

[@scottfurlong5475]

I have a 3000 lb. Superwinch and I can stand on the plow.

[@user-fr5sw9vi6r]

Актуально в нашу зиму в Ростове-на-Дону!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@djchabot3748]

@GETATMEoNET plowing in low is usually a must, I've been plowing with a KQ 400 and its a tank, deep heavy snow no problem and the 60" warn plow. a 450 should handle no problem. I plow on a dirt / gravel lot and using chains on the rear tires.

[@cjk247]

dont get me wrong i really like the yamaha grizzly but it looks like its struggling to plow snow

[@xhyway01x]

Not at all. I was just going slow to not catch an edge and rip up the lawn.

[@kylefitzgerald4419]

that`s a fast way to clean your drive way maybe I should do that with my kodiak 450 eps make my job easier.

[@drivin379]

Y does everybody run so much air in there tires Run bout 2.5 to 3.5 The ride is so much smoother and esp plowing you get so much more traction Look on car see the lil bulge on side wall u should see that on ur 4 whlr

[@xhyway01x]

Those tires that I was running are bighorns OG and have a very stiff sidewall. I run about 3-4psi in the winter. I don't recall losing any traction in the vid so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

[@scottfurlong5475]

I also ran 3-4 psi in my 6-ply AMS Slingshots and it was like having chains on, traction was incredible. I've always preferred a certain degree of tire spin anyway, it's easier on axles.

[@ClutchTFS]

You do realize esp only exists on Hondas right?

[@MisterTwister88]

Riley Hoddinott I think he meant especially

[@kristinawilliams9847]

TURN AROUND AND PLOW THE SNOW OUT INTO THE STREET! LESS CHANCE OF YOUR BASEMENT FLOODING IN THE SPRING

[@herbwoodbeck4756]

kristina williams some states it's illegal to push snow in road

[@scottfurlong5475]

It's illegal to push snow out into the road where I live and I have lots of room for snow behind my house so it's better for me to drive out and push in.

[@jasonwhite4980]

If your basement floods when the snow melts it's not going to matter how you plow it

[@xhyway01x]

I'm sure you could. But way to compare apples to oranges lol
