Over 4 years later, this video hits 1 million views! Thank you all so much for watching!
Great job....I agree the extensions on the blade will help...Looks like the plow complements the machine. It’s not too heavy...Thanks for a great video.
I'm Canadian. I hate snow. I hate shovelling snow. I hate clearing cars. I did however, watch this video from beginning to end in awe.... living vicariously.
Ahah we all do eh
The flex seal family just keeps on growing.
"I dont know what that is in freedom" Ha! Best line yet. I was trying to convert the centimeters to inches when you said that. Haha. Nice review.
I never learnt the apple pie and eagle system school. Sorry, eh!
@@MainvilleATV We have an old Big Bear at work with a plow that I use. Two years ago we had over 4 feet of snow, this year not enough snow to even shovel off the sidewalk...
One foot is 30 cm
@@MainvilleATV However, you counted the plow blade in inches.
30 cm is a foot
Damn... I'm actually surprised at how torquey that thing is and good it digs. Nice job.
Wow this is a really good video. I hit that subscribe button. Keep up the great content. Also congrats on 3k
Thanks!
Great camera angles, awesome video!
That set up is a beast! I like the aggressive tires!
Nice set up I use to use a 4 wheeler to plow my driveway and barn yard . It took me five hours but was better than plugging in a tractor and more fun , but the best fun has been putting a 7-6 meyers plow on my truck and doing it all in 30 minutes and warmer too . liked your video your machine could push snow
Great video I'm just starting out plowing on my Atv and this helped
Great to hear! Good luck.
The end of the driveway cleanup was painful to watch lol
Yea i wouldve just pushed each run across the road in the ditch. Either way brother u have a badass set up
Illegal to cross the road. It's highly finable here.
@@waylon7371 Yeah good way to get ticketed. My dad did that when I was young (20 years ago) and got busted twice before he stopped. He would always clean it up so there was nothing on the street but still. I get why they did it
Cut left and right and push the snow to the sides of your driveway. Need more weight on that plow to cut deeper
Suscribed!! I recently just hopped on the can am train with the purchase of a 2018 outlander 850 xt. Only regret was not getting one sooner!
I have an Outlander 650 max with the flex plow. I put the extensions with drift cutters on it immediately and also went one step further and put tracks on my machine for winter. I don't regret it. Only downside to the drift cutters is angle plowing is pretty much out. They are good for pushing and piling snow. The machine is a beast with tracks on it. I go places here where sleds can't or won't. There are things though a sleds can do that I can't but I'm not out for adrenaline I enjoy the adventure hunting trips anyway.
Awesome Just subscribed and found this Channel!! I just plowed with my mudpro last night with the click and go2. ! Great videos
out of all the toys i have seen, yours is the best looking one to this date.
that machine is . . wow, just wow.
i heard that you got a little bit of tire slippage there [ lol ]
awsome attachment.
awsome video !!
1000 thumbs up , no disappointment !
Thanks man, I like to take care of my toys! Thanks for watching.
That was cool. Nice set up…👍🏽
These are the types of videos that are worth watching, thanks
I don't know why... but I found that satisfying to watch.
Got 72" Alpine plow on mine and I love it
lift up your plow gradually as you start banking hills, you can put way more snow in less space (taller hills) and a lot easier on the bike
I never thought about that. Good info
Nice Job. You guys have a lot of snow up in the valley. Here in Kingston, we could almost cut the lawn. I have a Warn plow on my Grizzly and it rocks. Beats the hell out of shoveling.
Yeah, this footage is older too haha. Yeah plowing is definitely better than shoveling ahaha
Great lookin rig. Thanks for sharing
Plow looks like it does a great job....love the Can Am
Thanks!
I've bin ATV plowing for 20+ years...Here's a few TIPS---
If you want to reduce your time and fuel...start your passes with the blade at FULL ANGLE. The blade will dig more allowing less passes. Then at the end of your drive steer into where the snow is being pushed or sloughed off...this will help prevent a huge mound.
When you clear next to structure...you should put the blade at a hard angle...to prevent making a wall next to the structure.
Always use the angle most of the time. The straight blade is good for clean-up.
Noted! Thanks!
@@MainvilleATV No problem and Good Luck and have fun plowing
Awesome unit 👍
lovely vid. I use a 14 sportsman with a 54 blade. Atv plows are perfect for hitting long stretches of sidewalks around town, when it's not catching protrusions that is. I'm looking into a poly cutting edge to flex over uneven surfaces.
GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT BREAKDOWN.
I don't mean to hurt your feelings but your machine looks beautiful when it's not covered in mud...OK i'm a trail rider. The plow is awesome and the speed of mount is flash fast. I'm always amazed what ATV's can push, and did not think you'd be able to clean up the end of your driveway. Seams like you still have the visco lock front diff...i saw that tire spinning. Excellent video i enjoyed!
They do great work eh? Thanks for watching
Sweet setup
These assassinators are nice, but you can definitely get by on stock tires with lowered psi. My Grizz has no issue with worn out stock Maxxis tires at stock psi. I agree with what you say at the end about not needing Assassinators
Oh yeah. I just wanted to show mud guys it's not a big deal. Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Great job on the review Kyle.
I like that polymer blade. Less stress on the front end of the quad. Plus I have to physically lay on the ground to fasten mine mid frame. It's not hard. But easier is better!
kool looking quad and kool plow
If you strap 2-70lbs sandbags on the back rack it will help a lot with the bigger piles. I had to do the same thing with our LIL plow machine.
Nice setup sir! I love how the plow stays straight up and down. doesn't tip up when you wind it up . most plows if you purposely rase two inches above the ground they end up tipped up at an angle. (ATV plows I mean.) I grew up with antique tractors 3 pt back blades and 5 foot snow blowers! thanks
If your able to raise up with the plow staying straight up and down helps you clear large snow banks, and tall heavg snow much easier.
From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much for not plowing straight across the road like every other heartless jerk.😄
Right? Haha
Bylaws. And they can tell when people do it.
It doesn't matter to me because I drive a Jeep Wrangler with snow tires but for anyone inexperience and in a regular car can be thrown off the road by the windrow
I've had my alpine plow for 5 years. Works great! Best plow made!
Robert Burleson boss v plow is best ploe made u idiot. That pos will not last
Man your so smooth on the throttle. It sounds like the Kentucky derby when I plow.
I have the same plough with the extensions and side cutters. With chains on the rear tires I can push a lot of snow. I also have the side markers so There’s a reference for my edges.
Right on, very cool. I'd love to see pictures on our facebook group!
What a beautiful day there. Love them day like them✌
No other snow machine would be as fun as this.
Hey thanks for the video I plow with 2003 technology suzuki Vinson with moose plow . I dig your set up !#! Nice quad !
Thank you very much!
I really like the winch system. So smooth.
It is handy for sure!
No they suck ass. Get a boss v plow full hydraulic. It is better built and stronger and will last 30 years.
I use Kenda Bearclaws but that isn’t 6 in. of snow. Usually I use the Quad after I plow with my truck just for cleanup. Once in awhile I have to stack it with the Skidsteer but no matter no nice plow.
Nice bike, love the red.
I watched this whole video and I live in Southern Florida. Although it’s plastic I like the plow, makes sense to me.
Machine sounds real good!
Thanks!
Nice video, looks like you having fun, Can-Am, boy, great sounding machines, I wish I would have bought one of those instead of a Polaris. Oh, by the way, I use a payloader to plow on my driveway, it would take me a week to plow it out with that little guy.
I have a 300 yard driveway and i plow an area the size of a football field with my 850 and the 72 inch flex plow . I took the drift cutters off because if the road is slippery and there is heavy snow the drift cutters will hold too much snow and torque the ATV sideways which is not good when you're up close to buildings and vehicles . I put a kevlar winch line protector on my winch line and it's worth every cent . They all come too long so i cut mine so 1 turn will go over the drum . Saves flattening and work hardening the wire line and eventually breaking it . I also put on an oval fair lead . The kevlar line protector is a long tube that fastens around the wire with velcro . I cut it to the right length and fastened it to both ends with duct tape .
Interesting to know! Thanks for sharing the wisdom, might have to look into it
Good looking machine.
Put a 90 degree elbow and four feet vertical post on the tail for that strobe and get those blade extensions and it hits the sweet category.
Awesome video
That thing is gorgeous
GREAT REVIEW. GREAT QUAD, FROM UK
Nice work and machine
Awesome video thanks.
Wow that plow hooks up pretty good... I really like the sensor to tell you that you're high enough also. Technology these days!
Looks like a pretty light weight but durable blade.
@GhostSportsmanATV I like the concept of the sensor too
I came to see the assasinators you titled on and you're tryin to sell me a freakin plastic plow. Jeeeeeeezzz.
I would love to have just half of that snow we leave very to play in what lil bit we get in the deep South. Great video 👍 bro cheers
You can have all of it!
Lol🤟🏻
assasinators due surprisingly well for plowing, thought for sure you would need to spin them more !
Honestly didnt see a difference. They just chew buddy!
Have you lost any top end speed with them? They look heavy.
Nice video I just bought a set of assassinators 29.5 I love this video because now I plan on keeping them on year round because I also plow with my outlander 650 max .. my question is what clutch work should I go to for my outlander 650 especially for plowing next winter.. thanks and beautiful machine!!
If you're looking for clutch advice I highly recommend dirtylife.ca just give them a call and tell em you want what the mainvilles have
Nice setup
that thing sounds sick, listen to that rumble!!!!!
Much better in person wide open in mud haha. Thanks
I used to plow with my polaris and the first pass was the hardest . Would have to hit it back up hit it . Once thats done it did ok . The most amazing part was your wife Helping you by opening the garage mine is no where to be found when there is snow to clear. I got a tractor and sold my atv the tractor is much more effective because of its weight no comparison. Also i took a 9ft heavy highway plow and made it work with the tractor so just two or three passes and im done the four wheeler was up and back like in the vid.
You need tracks on that!!! and yes the sides for the plow. other then that nice video!
Stfu norm
Recently I bought a used 1000 R and I am now working on installing a snow blade. While taking a break I watched your plowing video and I can see already I might have put too much faith into the ability of the atv power plow. Even though we have a 300 meter drive way I think my walk behind snow blowers did a considerably tidier job. Also thinking ahead to a lot more snow the snow blower gets rid of it much better and further away.
Just incase, I wanted to let you know that the plow has sliders on it so it leave a layer of snow. Our driveway is gravel and we didn't want to push any of the gravel onto our lawn. Hope this helps! But yes, snowblower has a lot more control. ATV is more fun though ;) - Cass
Man plowing on a quad is so inefficient but sooo much fun
Beats shoveling
im about to move in to a house with a pretty big driveway, about 150 yards and a good steep hill. Tryhing to figure if an ATV can handle this. I have plowed w truck and tractor before but never ATV , can they move heavy wet snow ?
I have a very long drive that forks off to another garage. I find my plow truck to cumbersome. I use my ATV to plow. Nimble and faster. About 1 foot of heavy New England snow is the max for my Can-am Outlander 850. If the storms keep coming I'll use the truck to push back the snow banks and widen things up.
George Dahari get a used utv
Not insufficient if you know what you’re doing......
Perfect... ordered a plow for my outlander n was scared the mud tires (outlaw2s)would just spin with the weight of the snow. Love Canadian winters lol.
Oh yeah you'll have no issues.thanks for watching
After you cut your first straight blade run down the center.....Angle left and go down the left side towards the street....Then instead of wasting a trip backwards up the drive way....spin around and plow the other side going back up the driveway. That way there are no wasted trips and your done in half the time. Also, Standing as much as you do.......You Will Be doing a Header Eventually. Sit as much as possible for safety. Great Video....good angles and commentary. Thanks For Posting.
I also have the Alpine Flex plow on my 1000r Xmr. The only grip is that the plow is light and sometimes rides up on the deeper stuff.
Do you like this plow or the Kimpex Click n go plow setup better. Looking to get one soon before winters here lol
Nice set up hella of a good job with plow
Thanks buddy!
You got a freaking bad ass atv.. omg..😱😱😱😱
Man thats a beautiful machine finally got a warn 2000 for my 2017 Rancher gonna get a plow for next winter.
Thank you! I love plowing. Makes the job fun for me. Thanks for watching
@@MainvilleATV absolutely i have a Boss V Plow on my 07 Chevy 2500 but my house in town has a little drive way definitely want the ATV to be able to do the smaller spots lol
@@bergstrom716 my neighbors got the same plow on his 1 ton. Amazing unit
I would have plowed to the end of that driveway and made a turn on the end to avoid making that pile! Just a suggestion! Awsome tires!
Is there any reason they changed the plow design for 2019? I have an 2019 outlander but like the alpine flex vs the flex2. The flex2 dosent seem to angle side to side. Thoughts?
It is satisfying watching this video. Must be the satisfaction of a job well done. I miss the snow. Want to trade houses for a week in Tucson?
Haha no. As cold as it is I love canada. Thanks for watching
We just bought a new kodiak 450 yamaha last year, we are new at it . still have factory wheels and rims can you recommend a good aggressive wheel for all seasons and what is your thoughts on the tracks ,
This is the Geckofamily, I like this video, also seems to take awhile to clear out your driveway.
Hehe the assasinators are like my silverbacks. Great in power not so great on hard pack slippery surface. That's a nice plow setup looks well put together. And yaay you finally got some snow to play in!
Yeah, we had snow since October but not alot until mid December
Next question when do we see a snow ride video? :D hehe
@@780Aleks-AB they just put one up from the weekend....
@@jasonmorehouse3756 That was with Cass on a sled not her ATV hehe. We need some deep powder riding with the ATV's :D
Great vid
Just found the channel and digging it I have an outlander 650 myself. What lights are those in the headlights? And how are they installed?
Félicitations ! You make a very great video. You are a expert ! Tank's to you !!!
Merci!
I like your machine and the strobe light on back!
Thanks Chris!
Hi what brand is that strobe light ?
Amazon no name
that thing sounds sick, listen to that rumble
Hlo. The first gear is the only I should use? Thank you
that's a very cool looking rig, i really like the orange color and the tires. however, have you ever watched any pick-up truck plowing video's? you could have cut your plowing time in half and put less strain on the machine if you would have simply plowed "in circles" where you just kept driving forward to the end of the run and turned around to plow in the opposite direction! if you tried plowing a parking lot with a pick-up the way you did this, it would take you half the night! but it was still entertaining!
Just wondering what is the down side with a kimpex click and go 2 I'm looking to buy one I have a Brute Force 750
Nice video,machine/plow setup. Thinking I would've run snowblower once along the side of garage/house first then plowed. Surprised you don't get/fab 1 of those 2pc. V-plates made for trucks/trailers so as you back up it alines the trailer right up to & on the ball. Thanks for sharing ehh.
I like that light on the rear
Amazon strobe :)
Nice Job Thanks, you need to ask for a Electric Garage Door Opener for your birthday!
The new house came with one haha. Quite the upgrade.
We're you get the flasher/strobe light you put on the back?
Great vid ... I just bought the alpine flex Plow today ! Putting on a commander.... I’ve not looked in box etc yet ....are they hard to install... mounting bracket etc ?? Will be doing it on the weekend. Thanks again for the vid !
For my Outlander its super easy. Maybe an hour to install with a beverage of choice.
When ya push snow to the road. You should move it to the left or right and put it in the ditch just after the fence on both sides. It would leave less at the end of the driveway to have to bust through again. Just a thought though. Nice rig. Although i prob would have spent the extra $ and got the boss atv V plow. But im partial to the V cause i have one on the truck.
How do you like that four wheeler? What all have you been able to do with it besides shoveling snow?? I figure you find time to play on it but I mean as far as work?
Did you put a lift in your machine, in order to run assinators?
Keep the plow videos going
Haha, I can try! Thanks for watching
Great video . I found a guy to plow my driveway here in Ct for 30 bucks so its not worth for me to be looking anymore .
wow!! impressive
It's a good set up. Itll push way more than that too! Thanks for watching!
