Moose ATV Snow Plow Pulley 

I did the Moose set up too but can easily see what you saved a few bucks, too!

Unfortunately I haven't gotten the chance to use it because we haven't had any snow this winter (crazy!!), but from what I did use it after install, you're right it is so much smoother and I don't have to worry as much about breaking another cable.

Honestly I had a terrible time trying to determine if the pulley system would work with my plow setup. Their website was pretty bad at showing compatibility, so when I ordered it I had no idea if it would really work. I'm glad it did, and it is a great addition to the plow! I'm surprised they don't include the pulley system with the plow when you order/buy it. I understand they probably make more money this way, but for those of us who learned the hard way with broken winch cables it would have been great to have a complete system right from the start.

Hey Bryan! No, it doesn't interfere much at all. With the snow that pushes into that area, I just brush some of it away to access the handle. I don't dig out all of the snow, just enough to grab the handle. I have never had it locked up because of snow but with a snow load on the plow and frame it is slightly more heavy to angle the plow. I would think that's normal though.

I ordered a couple of them off of Amazon. I just did a search for LED voltmeter and ordered the ones with good reviews. I honestly didn't think it would last as long as it has, but so far so good! I have one on my garden tractor that has power all the time and it's going on 2 years or so without any issues. The one on my ATV is wired through the ignition switch so it only has power when the ignition switch is on with the key.

I've never had traction issues while plowing. I will use 4wd if the snow is wet and heavy, but I've never had to use the diff lock with 4wd. Most of the time if it's a light fluffy snow I keep it in 2wd and go with it. I'm sure a Polaris would do just fine with plowing 👍

Sorry for the delay in replying - yes, the mount is sold separately. I'm fairly certain I got the mount from my local powersports shop, but I just looked on Dennis Kirk and they have them on their site as well. Cost is around $75-100 for the mount, something like that.

I ordered it from Dennis Kirk and the part number on Dennis Kirk is 4501-0699. Hope that helps!

@davidpass7184 I have same setup and same issue as you. Been plowing for 3 years with the plow in one direction and it's annoying. I finally found some time to look at it and found the bolt that pulls the pin back hits on the pulley upright. I haven't figured out how to fix it yet. Have you come up with a solution?

Hey Dave! It's really not too bad. There's a little less room and when you have winter gloves on it can be a pain. But, I actually have a harder time adjusting the angle when there's snow stuck to the plow and the weight is pulling down. I still think the pulley system should come standard with the plow.

Hey Lego12066! Sorry for the delay in replying. The benefit to having the pulley system is to eliminate the hard angle and wear/tear on the winch cable. What happens with the U bolt is your winch cable has a severe downward angle to get to the U bolt. With that angle, you're essentially flattening the cable on the fairlead roller. After repeated flattening of the cable, it weakens that spot, and eventually with a hard pull the cable will break. I only made it one winter with my winch cable using the plow. So, instead of having to replace winch cables in the winter I found this pulley system to eliminate the hard angles. It works great! There are some guys out there who make their own pulley system using caribiners and a pulley, which works just as well and is cheaper than the mounted pulley from Moose ATV. Hope that helps!

@@GearTubeTV thanks for the input. Keep the videos coming..

Oh I know! When I bought mine, I didn't realize the center mounted light was removed until I went to the dealership, AND the crazy thing is they brought it back in 2019! I guess enough people complained about it that owned a 2016-2018 model lol. The other "silly" thing is the headlight bucket/housing was completely unchanged from 2014 so you could basically swap over the headlight housing from a 2014 or 2015 into a 2016-2018 and run a wire to power the center light. On the other hand, at least it would appear Suzuki listens to customer feedback.

I would have never thought something that seems so simple would make the difference. I've plowed 3 times now with that pulley and no issues with the cable at all. 👍🏻

It works great! There have been multiple comments about buying a simple pulley at a hardware store and putting it on a carabiner, which is all well and good. I realize it's a simple design but I've been using the plow this winter and still have not had any broken winch cables. All in all, this tells me Moose should make this a standard feature on their plows, but obviously they can make more money with people buying the pulley kit as an add on.

@@GearTubeTV Thanks.

Yes, I keep pretty much everything that sits for an extended period of time on battery tenders / trickle chargers.

It's all good bro! I know I do not ride nearly enough, so I haven't developed riders thumb yet LOL!

I would like to see this video you refer to from Dave Northrup. Do you know where can find his video. Thanks, Bill

Or can you share pictures of your set up. Thanks

@@cptnbillyjohnstone510 Should be able to find it on RU-vid. That is where I watched it.

@@jamesglenn520 I tried to find it earlier, no luck. I searched using his name, Moose plow adapter, but nothing. Any suggestions what to use for the search. Thanks, Bill

@@cptnbillyjohnstone510 Here is a more basic but rough idea of what I built. Search Brett Moravian. Atv cable keeps breaking..... solution. Hope this helps 👍

Do you mean hook the plow itself up to the ATV? If so, I'll do a video for you next month. It's really simple, which is why people probably never show it. But I'll gladly make a quick one for you. 👍🏻

Oh man that sucks... Thank you for this though because I've used the plow harder this winter than I have since I bought it. I'll have to double check them this week before the next storm arrives and I'll look for nyloks for next season! Thanks for sharing!
