Default snowplows

I'm getting my Brute Force 750 equiped with a 60" gorilla plow. Most seem to come with 48". The bike is only 604 lbs. Do you think the larger plow is TOO big? Any experiences?

Some of the question is what kind of snow do you typically have? And how will you be plowing (angled or straight)?

In real heavy deep snow you might have some issues with long straight shots, but I would think your atv should handle it with your front diffential locked.

So have you had a chance to test it on SNOW yet? I'm jealous. We've got snow in the NW, but no plow on the ATV!

Well, I just put the 60 incher on in preparation of " the big storm" that's coming our way. I live on Long Island right now, our snowy years are hit or miss. I did get a chance to use my plow in the fall to level out my wife's garden's mounds. Not only did it dig in and push 12" high dirt piles, it pushed them as far as 25 feet away, and even back-plated the land flat. I am impressed. I don't see any snow getting in my way this week.
