Delete the opening music - (ff to see the good stuff) this is a really good idea! Ive plowed with various trucks over the years and the Vertical lift is much easier on the equipment. good on you for such a simple solution. an easy add on and yet another reason to have that welder in the garage :) and see? I told you I was going to use that scrap someday :D
You really need to be able to visually tell when you have reached the highest lifting point of the blade when retracting the cable. Also a large spring mounted on the end of the cable and the attachment point on the blade helps to absorb the strain of over retracting the cable at the highest point of the lift.
i installed one i had lying around, i think it is strong enough. consider, many garage doors are pretty heavy. worth a shot since it won't kill anyone if it breaks. I usually keep a spare cable or a ratchet strap in case the cable breaks.
Thanks for your advice, the atv handled it fine all last NY winter, couldn't be more pleased. I was actually quite impressed with how well It pushed even heavy snow.
@@sheisillme Exactly!! I have used a 60" on my bike for five years now and my bike has zero issue pushing large amounts of snow and even wet snow. I even have the sides on my plow, so I move A LOT of snow.
