P500 Gearing up for winter

[dls1966]

The weather is turning cold up here in Michigan and that means snow will be here soon, in the past I've plowed with my Rubicon and it worked just fine...but this year I decided to get a plow for my p500 so the past couple of days I winterized, putting my doors on the rear window in and today I installed my new plow
I went with the KFI open trail system with a 60 inch blade
I really like the way it picks up so high you can drive the sxs with the plow on or by removing 2 pins it comes off ...I'm sure that other plows do the same thing but I got a great deal on it at my local Honda dealer plus they had it in stock.
I figured why plow snow out in the open when I can sit in comfort with heat and music plus it gives me another reason to drive my p500

Nice! I have the same plow at 66". Putting it on is so easy I wait until the snow fly's.
Btw, they make a rubber flap for the top that keeps it out in front of you.

 

[dls1966]

Yeah I ordered the flap they didn't have one in stock...I hate to say it ...but let it snow

Down here in Arkansas I never worry about a snow plow. LOL

I did not know you could farm in snow. Hmm learn something new all the time.

Down there you would use a plow to push Texas back across the border

For me the snow is hit and miss... but I'll probably own one someday. And I'll probably foolishly try to grade my gravel driveway with it

Got your wish today didn't you? And this one is sticking!

 

[dls1966]

Sorry...too soo

Got your wish today didn't you? And this one is sticking!

Finally got almost enough snow, after watching it fall all day at work I was determined to plow the driveway when I got home even if there wasn't technically "enough snow " and let me tell you it worked great it moved the snow and 2 or 3 inches of topsoil effortlessly I was use to using my Rubicon and you had to go like hell, but the little 500 I barely gave it and throttle and it are right thru it not to mention I stayed warm and dry in the cab
I would recommend a p500 plow to anyone, now I just need more driveways

Yeah, I've made the mistake of hitting it hard before the ground was frozen, made a frickin mess!

What do you use for heat?

 

[dls1966]

A little 12 volt heater from Harbor freight and the engine heat you manage to stay warm

 

[Mudder]

What do you use for heat?

Milwaukee Heated jackets, and when its single digit degrees, this Southern boy stays inside.

I have a heater as well as heated seats, for an inexpensive item the seat heaters are great....
