P1000 Pioneer 1000-5 with 66 inch plow?

[bs4u00]

What are your thoughts about putting a 66 inch (5.5 ft) snow plow on a P1K? I can get a new, county-type, plow for free for my machine. Is that too narrow for a P1K?
If I want to go to a 72 inch, I would have to sell this one and buy a bigger one. And that would mean spending $ on it I'm assuming.
Thanks in advance.

We just bought a used 60" for our pioneer 2 days ago. I thought 60 would be too small but when I did my research superatv sells 52, 60, and 72 so I assumed I would be fine with 60.

We won't get to use it until this winter

The one we bought was a glacier power system 60"

Which Pioneer did you get? P1000 is 63" wide. 700 is 60" wide. 500 is 50" wide.
Snow plows are used at an angle, so you don't get as much width of snow clearing as your plow is wide. That is why I was asking about a 66" wide plow on a 63" wide machine.

Mine is a 2020 pioneer 1000-5 deluxe. The plow we found was a good price. If it isn't wide enough I thought about extending it some. I got a complete 60" blade with mount in like new condition for $200. It was used one time 2 years ago.

I agree with you running it at an angle but when I saw superatv selling 3 sizes for the 1000 I thought hey it might work

Yes, I'm just wondering if anyone has used plows like this that are narrower than their machine, and how well it worked. Your pioneer will probably be riding on snow that has not been cleared by the plow.
The upside is if you are storing your rig in a tight space, having a plow that does not stick outside the width of the machine will be nice. This is my case as well.
