You have really long driveway. Cforce 500 have more than enough power to push big pile of snow, I have the same atv (520 in Europe) and have been using it for snowplowing since I bought it back in 2018. I really like you setup so you can just turn the plow without getting of the atv.
nice running machine! i have had a 2009 sportsman for plowing since i got it in 2009, however these new machines look like they do fantastic! super interested in your plow and the electric angling blade.
Thank you. The power angler is awesome. At the end of the video i did scroll the products that my machine has in case you wanted to know the brands and product names.
Scroll to the end of the video and i listed the plow equipment. Just before the end credits. You will love it. On 3rd season plowing with all same atv and equipment.
Haha. Thank you. Yea, it ended up my neighbor was clearing some space in case I needed to park my car if my driveway became unusable. I was confused at first, then he told me and thought a nice gesture.
Looks awesome . I was just in the shop looking at the same set up . I have pavers and was wondering are you blade to ground on your set up or raised at all ? Thanks !
I’m new to it and had the same question. I ended up going blade to the ground where my machine raises very slightly going down the driveway. On the way up i still drop the blade to the pavement but maybe not as hard. On flat surface i tend to drop the blade with a slight raise of the machine as well.
I have a new regular asphalt driveway. With pavers, I would have to feel it out as I would not want the blade to catch an edge. Maybe blade to the ground very lightly.
I haven’t tested in 12 inches of super heavy snow. But keep in mind I’m also pushing up hill at 11 degree incline, but usually only pushing with half the blade. I have not run into any issues with power as of yet. Maybe 5 storms total so far. If you have the xtra money and in an area of massive amounts of snow the 600 may keep your peace of mind. But 500 is beast enough in my opinion
I have the 600 ( 2021 ) and use for plowing , love it . Not a lot of difference in engine size displacement, but a few more comfort features with the 6 . I have a much steeper grade and have never had an issue . I think both will do the job great for you
It feels like you are a bit afraid to us the power in the machine. It would have been nice to see you pushing the piles away but you have to increase the power not decrease it when you come to the pile it’s an awd and should handle it. Good video otherwise.
You are correct. This was my first time plowing. I was being very cautious. On a later storm i got more aggressive but accidentally tried to push a pile while plow was raised quite high and snapped the winch cable. I’m guessing to have plow slightly raised while pushing a pile? Not sure.
Not at all. Although I have only about 60 miles on it so far. I’m using it primarily for snow plowing and toying around my property which is about 5 acres. Will hit trails when i get a trailer to transport it.
It’s the kolpin 60 inch poly plow. We got over 20 inches last night and it did awesome however at the end i got agressive with pushing the tall mounds with blade way up and snapped the winch. Should be easy fix though.
Referring to sides of the driveway, i could always clean up edges with the snowblower should i get hit again. As far as piles, as winter went on I improved my skills and learned to slightly raise plow off the ground and push through at the top of driveway. If raised too much it will snap the winch pushing too hard. Lesson learned there. Thank you for watching. Super fun plowing the driveway.
