Nice! I would love to have the hydraulic tilt on my plow….mine is an older Polaris glacier plow that isn’t setup for the hydraulic angle. Oh well. It still gets the job done I guess

@@vondypharmadventures7746 Yup, just like my Cat

Thank you for the kind words. I am in Indiana. The ATV gets the job done for the amount of snow we get. I added chains to the rear tires this winter and it made a huge difference with traction and pushing ability.

Thank you for watching. I used 2x10 dimensional lumber for this project

thank you so much for the kind words. glad you liked it.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for watching. It was more to try it out and see how it would do in the snow. Honestly the atv plow works pretty well up to 6 or 7 inches of snow unless it is real wet snow which we have a tendency to get here.

@@vondypharmadventures7746 figured that… been watching atv videos pushing snow.. some beyond 6-7 inches.. they all seemed to plow fine without slipping n getting stuck.. assuming paved driveway.. mines paved flat w slope down to road.. imagine a driveway slope up in out to road would be problematic.. also I hunt @60. No more unnecessary long uphill drag outs 👍🏻

@@dunklechuck1188 yeah that will be nice to have for hunting for sure. My drive is pretty flat but is gravel. The only problem I have ever had is that my atv auto switches to 2wd when put in reverse. I’ve never had a problem in 4wd pushing snow forward but I have had some traction issues when backing up after stacking snow.

Thank you so much for watching and the kind words. My wife thinks I’m crazy because I resort to watching plowing videos on UA-cam as well. We haven’t had enough snow to plow yet this year but most of our snow in the past few years has been coming in January and February. Thanks again for watching and the comment.

I can’t say for sure if that would work or not. With using the 2x material that I did, my kids have piled way more books on each shelf than I ever thought they would without any problems with the shelf. So I do think it’s pretty structurally sound, but I think that will have to be a call that you make.

@@vondypharmadventures7746 Thanks for getiing back to me. WE shall see.:)

@@ls5811 no problem at all. Let me know if you have any questions during the process

Thanks for the comment. I have all of those details in my digital download, link in the description. The bookcase is attached directly to the wall.

Thank you! I did not use anything special for this project. Normal dimensional lumber that you can find at Lowe’s and Home Depot.

I have the Polaris 52” Glacier Plow

Bought a 2021 kodiak with 50 inch moose hope it’s wide enough

My 52” snowplow is big enough for my driveway. I guess it all depends on what size your job is. When we get some real wet snow, my atv struggles a bit to plow through it.

I have pavers. What poly Edge blade do you use … also I’m looking for a plow that allows the bottoms to just pivot over a paver instead of scoop . Would they all basically do that if you angled them forward enough ? Thanks for your time

@@SETTAPERFORMANCE I got the poly cutting edge blade for my ATV on ebay. It is yellow and I had to drill holes to mount it. It is not flexible enough to pivot or bend while plowing. You might try rubber if you want flexibility. However I think poly would work fine for pavers.

Thank you for your complement. I sell a digital download set of plans that detail all of the dimensions and angles that I cut for the pieces. The link to my Etsy listing is in this video description.

I agree, if the plow was a little heavier it would scrape a little better. I would love to upgrade to a hydraulic ATV plow which would give me a little more down pressure but I would realistically have to upgrade ATVs before I did that. I hope you have a happy new year as well!

I have found that what helps it scrape better is not using the plow shoes. Of course, that means you eat the cutting edge way faster. About 1 season per side. If you use plow shoes, you will leave some snow.

That would be amazing. I think mine is supposed to be an easy hookup and go as well. When I hook up the winch and pick up the plow, I believe it is supposed to latch into the bracket under the ATV automatically. Because I bought my atv and plow used, I believe my bracket must be a little bent or something because it will get close to latching in but doesn't quite make it all the way, hence the need to mess around under the ATV. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

@@vondypharmadventures7746 ok, so for '21, the plow mount on the atv is built into all of them. There's no separate mounting plate. In the front, just behind the bumper, there are 2 ears. A little further back, there are 2 recesses. You pick up the plow and push the notches on the plow frame onto the ears. Then you just push down on a handle down by where the winch attached, and that's it, clip on the winch cable, and done. You only have to bend over, no more getting down on the floor. The first time I did it, not reading any instructions, but with a verbal description from the salesman, it took maybe 2 minutes.

That sounds super easy. I’m not saying mine is really that complicated but I tend to leave the plow on all the time where sometimes I would like to quickly take it off and go play in the snow. Maybe I will be fortunate enough to upgrade in the near future. Thanks for the info.

And I would really love the power angle function. This Polaris plow doesn’t have the option to add it or else that would be what I would upgrade next. Does yours have that feature?

@@vondypharmadventures7746 I don't have it, but I think you can add it. Big$$$.

Thanks for watching the video. I’m not exactly what you are asking tho?

Like the big machine?

@@vondypharmadventures7746 I mean the atv with the plow

@@hannahalilovic3956 I've had the atv with plow for a few years now. Bought it used locally. It is a Polaris plow setup so everything fits really nice on my Polaris Sportsman.

Pat, thanks for the tip. My driveway is almost all gravel right now. One day, I would love to put concrete or asphalt in to make everything so much easier.

There definitely was a chance I was in High gear. With the amount of snow that I was pushing and it not being very wet, I probably was not too concerned. When I push more snow and/or wet snow, I am 100% of the time in Low gear. Thank you for the tip tho.

Why cuz it didn't Getcha laid. !

Thank you for your interest in the tree bookcase. I didn’t realize a digital download could go out of stock so that is my fault. It should now be available on my Etsy shop again. Thank you again and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your interest in the shoe rack that I designed and built. Unfortunately I didn’t not keep a detailed list of materials for this project. This is a very specific project that can easily be customized and adapted to fit your needs best. For example the spacing between shelves, the depth of each shelf, as well as the overall length of the shelves can vary significantly based on your space. After watching the video, it appears I started construction of each shelf by using 1x4 pine boards and ripped them in half and cut them to length. So the overall height of each shelf is 1 3/4” tall. Each shelf is approximately 6 feet long with supports 16” on center. The shelves are approximately 12” deep as well. The sanded plywood sheathing that I used was 1/4” thick and nailed in place after cutting the length and width. The upright supports are 1x3 pine that were stained to match. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you for asking. I secured it to the wall with pocket screws. The screws are in multiple spots along the trunk as well as underneath each branch.

Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it!

very cool. any reason for me to get my atv out good for me

I used pocket holes and pocket screws on the top of the branches because that was the only way I knew how to get those two pieces of wood secured together. The pocket hole method was at the perfect angle to drive a long screw from one board to the next. Those pocket holes were then filled with a pocket hole plug, sanded, and stained for a flat seamless finish. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask. Thanks again for the kind words in a previous comment.

Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for your interest in the Tree Bookcase. I offer downloadable plans with specific dimensions, angles, diagrams, and pictures. See the link below. etsy.me/2V4liPz

Thank you!

No problem at all. Glad you like it!

Thank you for watching the video. It is attached to the wall using pocket holes and pocket screws. I actually have detailed plans available if you are interested. etsy.me/2uFpM65

It is definitely not something I dread doing. I don't get a ton of snow each year, but I definitely enjoy getting the atv out whenever I can. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Exactly my thoughts

Thank you! I plan to make more snow plowing videos if we ever get any snow where I live. We just got a couple inches last night, but it will be gone by this afternoon because it is supposed to get to the lower 40s. Such a crazy winter we are having where I live.

I have 8 inches at my house

@@dogeplays2520 I would love to have that much snow on the ground or more.

Thank you for commenting. I unfortunately do not sell these tree bookshelves. I think the cost to ship (due to the weight) would be more than what I would charge for the bookshelf. I would guess that I don't have more than $100 into wood, screws, stain, and polyurethane for this project. Pretty reasonable if you are able to do it yourself. Time is the most valuable part to this project. Thank you again for your interest. Please feel free to comment if you have anymore questions.

Thank you for the kind words!! I hope to put out more plowing videos this year. Where I am in Indiana, we haven't had more than a couple inches of snow total all winter so far. Pretty unusual for us. I do have two skid shoes on my plow. I have the blade set about an 1/8" or so off the ground because of the skid shoes. I so far have not had too big of a problem with digging into the gravel driveway and plowing gravel too much. We have however done a pretty good job of getting the gravel packed down and the driveway fairly level which I feel like has helped significantly. Thanks again for commenting and feel free to ask any other questions that you come up with.

@@vondypharmadventures7746 thanks, yeah we barley get any snow in my are but I will have to play around with skid plates in such, in fact I actually don't have the plow, I have a 86' Honda fourtrax 350 and of course a plow doesn't fit on it without heavy modifications, I plan on making a plow out of old water heaters and goota make some skids and the whole setup, also got some LEDs to go on all 4 corners and a new winch, just trying to study up by watching ATV plowing vids and how different people set them up

@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups No matter new or old, ATVs in my opinion do real well. And depending on how long of a driveway, amount of annual snow fall, etc, I think they are a good option for moving snow around.

@@vondypharmadventures7746 yeah I agree, I personally like older quads because they easier to fix, but yeah each year we get very little snow fall if not none. But I have no dought on my ATV in snow, I took it out in 5 inches of snow (still don't have a plow) and it did just fine up and down hills. But the thing that I mentioned previously is that it is an older 4x4 and in the front, the PTO driveshaft for the front wheels has 2 huge boxes on the Axel's which would prevent a plow from being mounted under, if so, the mount would have to be touching the ground basically to lift it up of the ground before hitting the connection arms, but I've been studying on UA-cam and I think I know how to fix the problem, the plow will be attached to the from of the ATV through a receiver hitch hole and I found some ways to make it work... hopefully, this year I am going to try to make it work before fall/winter 2020

@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups wow that does sound like it could be quite the problem. It does sound like you have done your research and have come up with a solution. You never know unless you try. I had purchased my ATV and plow used and it has had its challenges. I can slide the front pins for the plow into the bracket but have to use a jack to lift the rear brackets into their locking position. I think the bracket that is bolted to the underside of my ATV is slightly bent causing it to not attach as easily as it should. Maybe one of these days I will remove and see if I can repair it.

Thank you for watching, and thank you for the kind words about the video. How much snow did you get your last storm? I love plowing snow with my Sportsman. I am very glad I tried the ATV plow first before investing in a plow for my truck. It has worked just fine for how much snow I get in Indiana. Crazy that we haven't gotten any significant snow yet this year, but if we do I plan to make some more videos to document it.

@@vondypharmadventures7746 we got about close to 10". Accuweather is calling for 11" to 17" starting on Saturday. I live in New-Brunswick. East coast Canada.

@@timber66 Wow that would be a ton of snow in my neck of the woods. So does your Grizzly do just fine pushing that much snow all at once or do you need to plow during the snow storms? Just picking your brain in case I ever run into some real accumulation

Thank you

I completely agree. Last year was my first year using the 4 wheeler. We didn't get a ton of snow which made it nice and relaxing. Not a big chore whatsoever. Any chance to get out on the 4 wheeler is a good excuse for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Josh Edwards, thank you for watching. I made sure that my branches were wide enough to span three studs in the wall. I then used a Kreg pocket hole jig to drill holes in the underside of each branch as well as a couple areas of the trunk. I then secured the trunk and each branch to the studs in the wall with 2.5 to 3 inch wood screws. It has been very secure and sturdy. It is loaded up with books without and fear of failure. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Vondy Pharm Adventures you did great. What size board did you use? Do happen to remember the angle in which you cut it?

@@Bandit4229 I used 2x10 lumber for this project. It ends up being fairly heavy in the end, but it is sturdy and can hold about any size book/kids book without them sticking out off the shelf too far. We now have way more books on each shelf than what was shown in the video, and haven't had any problems. Compared to the horizontal floor, each of the main angled trunk pieces go vertical in a 60 degree angle either to the left or right depending on the piece. Before I started this project, I sketched a scale drawing to make sure it would fit in the intended space as well as look somewhat like a tree. I wish I had kept my original plans, but I think they got thrown away after I was finished. I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Vondy Pharm Adventures thanks man. I appreciate it. I was doing a rough draft last night messing with angles trying to get everything figured out.

@@Bandit4229 No problem at all

Thank you for the kind word! I really appreciate it.

Vondy Pharm Adventures its deserved👍🇺🇸🇨🇦

Thank you. I appreciate it!

Mr. V I used a Kreg pocket hole jig and long wood screws to secure the book shelf to the wall. It is wide enough to span 3 studs in my wall so the trunk is screwed to the middle and each branch is secured on the underneath side directly into a stud. Thanks for watching!

@@vondypharmadventures7746 thanks!

Have you heard the music on other UA-cam videos? Nothing wrong with the music.

Thank you Michael G.

@@vondypharmadventures7746 No worries! Better to light a candle then shout at the dark!

@@optimoprimo132 I completely agree!

Josh B. Thank you for your comment. From start to finish, the book shelf took me about three days to complete but that included a lot of drying time for stain and polyurethane. It was probably a total of 10-12 working hours.

HBOSS Guzman thank you for your interest in the book shelf I created. I unfortunately do not have the plans/sketches I used to design this. The book shelf is 88” tall and 44” wide at the farthest tips of the beaches. It was important for me to make the branches wide enough that I could secure the trunk as well as the branches to three studs in the wall. I hope this helps. Let me know if you want any more info.

Vondy Pharm Adventures so many thanks

@@pulibertin I know it has been awhile since you asked for plans. I wanted to let you know that I now have plans available if you have not already built your own. etsy.me/2uFpM65

Thank you. I appreciate the tip!

Plow for the next storm

Thank you for the compliments! The plow has held up very nicely. The only trouble I have had is when the snow is very wet and heavy. That is probably an issue however with all snow removal options. I plan to add a couple salt bags to the back ATV rack to add some extra downforce for the ATV whenever we get some wet snow. And you aren't kidding about the prices of tractors. Where I am located in Indiana, we have been averaging only 2-3 real big snow events per winter. I wanted to see if I could get by with a plow on the ATV before investing more money in another setup and so far I have had no issues.

Vondy Pharm Adventures really? your in Indiana as well? I live in North Central Indiana south of kokomo. just bought a home here. lots of people always mention a walk behind snow blower. yes they do work but they only accomplish one job! also there's multiple types of snow, I know this from growing up in Michigan. my neighbor has a walk behind snow blower and we made a deal, I do both his driveways and mine, fill it with ethanol free gas then I can borrow it no problem! works for me. the issue is, we have already had more than once that the snow has not been moveable with a walk behind blower! warm snow clogs the chute and we have received ice rain on top of the snow too. Also with a plow on an ATV I could plow my elderly neighbors driveway a block down the road without issue.

Crazy! I am in the Fort Wayne area. I like the ATV because it is a year round tool that can be used for lots of different projects and activities. Rather than just being used for snow removal. Thanks again for commenting. I hope to have lots more videos posted as I get more comfortable filming and editing.

Vondy Pharm Adventures Certainly! I'm in Tipton Indiana but grew up in Michigan an hour north of grand rapids. much more snow, more ice, and colder weather! main issue here that makes travel difficult in a different way would be the ground doesn't freeze often. so snow or ice on pavement can get greasy / messy. I have another UA-cam channel I used to run. good stuff on there. running a channel is truely a lot! nice work on this video. I need to get a mowing set up and a plow setup. would be more than fine with an ATV + plow and a riding mower. used a self propelled walk behind mower last summer and my yard is too large for that!

thanks! I get a little nervous at about 2500ft away even though I know it can go farther

Thank you. All of my movies so far have been shot in northeast indiana
