- In this video we are snow plowing in a blizzard at night! We had some snow conditions that the Cfmoto Zforce struggled with and I must say I'm not happy about it.

To save yourself from over working your equipment. When plowing heavy wet snow. Plow your curb line first then move your center over..
Tires make a huge difference. For snow plowing, my preference would be for more of an all terrain type tread pattern. Back in 2013 when we had similar weather, I was driving an 1985 Nissan 2wd pickup - V6 / 5 speed manual - mounted Firestone Winterforce radial snow tires, & just a steel contractor cap for weight. I was driving thru snow up to the bumper, the tires were like velcro. I only got stuck twice - when I was frame deep in snow, then stopped & attempted to back up. When I got the truck moving, it was nearly unstoppable.
Really? Disappointed? it's a recreational ATV... not a snowplow. Snow with higher moisture content is VERY different & heavier... often called Heart Attack snow.... the ATV weighs the same as a Goldwing or Harley motorcycle & you're disappointed it's not plowing snow on gravel? sounds like your expectations are higher than the equipment is designed for. looks like it did just fine. try putting some salt/sand bags in back and or engaging the axle lock for better traction & use low range .. not high range. good way to burn up the drive belt in high range working it...that's why it has low range.
No not really lol
Im in S.E. Mt & I have a Honda Pioneer 1000-5. I have 3 60# sandbags in the box, plow in 4wd and in low gear. The 2 big snow events we've had so far were not a problem at all.
Thinking the same thing.....going too fast when plowing snow.....did not appear to be in low range. Still looked like it did okay to me even in those conditions! Just purchased the 2019 zforce 1000 with plow. Sweetheart deal from my brother (Thanks Kurt)! Picking up on Friday.
Love winter! I'm not sure what aftermarket support is out there yet for CFMoto, but I bet clutching would help with snow plowing, as well as tires. 👍
Yes Im sure it would also.
Merry Christmas and keep the great videos coming!
Merry Christmas!
Couple of sandbags in the passenger footwell will make a difference and one sandbag in the rear bed. If the plow is not digging deep enough you can use a tractor weight on it to give some more downforce. If its digging too deep and still causing traction problems then drop the plow and give a bump up so its not all the way on the ground for the first passes. Also lower tire pressure will give you more traction. Let some out until you see a little squat in the tire. Many sxs run 14ish psi in the tires but you could probably drop to 8-10 to experiment. Just don't do any high speed runs in summer until you air back up.
Merry Christmas to you and the family Roland.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Enjoy that snow buddy! Wish we had some down here in PA! Happy trails and Merry Christmas to you and your family and followers!
Thanks, you too! ⛄️🎄🚜🎅🤶
Enjoyed your video brother… Merry Christmas
Thanks, Merry Christmas Dave!
Wonder how their 1000cc uforce would do? It's a lot heavier I think, looked at one and was super beefy and the 3 wide bench seat was awesome. Can enclose it like a Kubota or tractor.
Yes I think the Uforce would do well plowing.
I would highly recommend a set of snow chains, and/or winter ATV snow tires. I found only one company here in Canada that made winter tires for ATVs, but at least they are available. They have good tread for deep snow and sipes for adhering to ice. I currently plow my driveway with a Snowsport 180 plow kit mounted to the rear of my 2010 Audi TTS (Quattro AWD). I have a vid to show what that looks like. (It's nice to be in a warm car with heat, defrosters, and wipers with the radio playing my favourite music.) I can comfortably plow up to 30cms, and wet snow is not an issue. The way the Snowsport kit works, it doesn't dig into my dirt driveway, so no mounds of dirt on the side of my driveway in the spring. I was looking to buy a ZForce trail 2nd Gen next summer as a toy for when I retire. My brother has an 800EX that he has never had any trouble with. I was thinking I'd give it a shot as--in Canada--they come with about $5000 worth of accessories, and a 5yr warranty from the factory for the price of a base model of a big brand name SxS. Anyway, it looks like your ZForce did OK from what I can tell. Good luck with it. 👍
I do understand that the chains would work great on my gravel driveway, but when it came to the asphalt I be afraid to chew it up.
28 inch tires and rng clutch then you will want to make it your main plow rig.
I don't know if that would do it
Merry Christmas Roland.. stay safe mate
Merry Christmas 🎄
Suzuki was a good ATV, Don't understand why they quit making them!!King quad was another beast!! Yes I enjoy plowing also,,Don't listen to the negative comments, you have great videos!!
Couldn't agree more!
If you would have put it in 4x4 I bet you would have stayed in the zforce. The reason you love that Suzuki so much is the power to weight ratio is probably twice as strong as the zforce but you put a 1000cc engi e in it and it would do circles around the Suzuki. I find people forget how heavy side by sides are and that having small engines in them aren't the best idea. Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas 🎅
I will probably going out tomorrow plowing, but need to check out how much we got.
Merry Christmas! I'm heading outside now to do a bit more plowing.
Wheel chains are great!
Yes they are!
Love your videos. How long is your driveway? It seems like a mile.. lol
Thanks David! The driveway is this long 0.186411 of a mile. Not sure if that makes any sense. or .3 of a kilometer. lol it's long for a driveway.
Ive been dealing with the same very powdery wind blown compacted snow here in south dakota for last 4 days also. Packed so hard that plow wants to ride up on top of the snow. Stuff just doesnt plow very good. But my 800z been gettin it done. Even in -40 windchill with 40mph winds.
Awesome!
Nightmare driveway.😀 we just got hit with a storm here in Northern Maine, getting ready for another one on Friday.
Good luck!
Merry Christmas Rolland from North Carolina . Why on earth don't you have a full windshield on your zforce with the kinda weather you have todealwith??
Merry Christmas Steven! Maybe Santa will bring me one
You should get a windshield for your Suzuki. I put one on my Polaris 4 - wheeler, it was one of the best decisions I ever made for plowing snow.
Yes your right. A windshield on the eiger would be awesome!
Merry Christmas , thank's for the great video's this past year !! I was doing the same with my 800 and the 4 wheel drive won't engage. It just make's a clinking sound coming from one of the relay's in the fuse box ,,,, any idea's ?
Merry Christmas 🎄 That sounds like an electrical problem maybe.
Bad actuator most likely. Had the same problem. Just fixed it
@@gregb9253 good to know!
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER you can pull that relay that is clicking and swap it with one of the others to eliminate it being the relay. But more than likely the actuator went. Mine was clicking at the relay as well. I paid $65 for a new one. It's was pretty easy to swap out.
I have a 03 Suzuki eiger with a plow and tracks and I can tell you it will push any kind of snow. It is my little work horse. I have a 2022 cforce 600 that I haven't setup yet for snow but it will get tracks and it'll be interesting to see if it can do what the eiger does.
BTW tires suck for plowing just cant get the traction like tracks do.
thats cool and I agree, not too much can stop the Eiger. Mine is a work horse as well.
where did you get that light bar? i want it when i get my side by side

How tall are you? Just wondering if I would fit in a zforce 800 at 6'3"?
I'm 5'7". I think it would be tight for you.
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER Right after I asked that question, I saw another video with a guy who had the same utv and he was 6'5" and said he had enough room. Thanks for the reply.
How does the window stay clean with no wiper?
Its cold on BOTH sides, unlike a car where the heat inside warms it and the melts it on the outside. If it never warms up, the snow won't stick. Some people leave snow blowers and plow blades outside over night for the same reason.
I’ve never had one issue plowing 1-3’ of snow with the zforce. Not sure why yours struggles
I mentioned it in the video. It's the half frozen crust under the snow. We had warm temps, rain snow, back to rain and now cold with a blizzard
Low gear then it should manage well
@@markusj3863 I do use low gear lol
That nothing compared to Bracebridge On
