I bought / installed the same Kolpin 48-60 universal plow on my ATV 2011 Arctic Cat 550 TRV (2-Up). Instructions stated 45-60 minutes to assemble the blade. I started at 8:30 AM, had 1.5 hour lunch and completed at 2:30 PM. Yes. That long - with a large cup of coffee and my reading glasses. Retired people with bad knees/hips take longer time. smiles. For my ATV's under belly, I used 4 x U-Bolts and 2x2 hard wood spacers. And I cut off the tips of extra long U-Bolt threads as well. During its install I did add a few more flat washers and greased its swivel points. All installed "as it should" and very happy with its looks, with its ease of angle change and with its safety tilt ability. It's worth buying "on sale". Recommend this adjustable plow...
Update: Since my below post I also bought & installed rubber flap (for top of blade), corner marker posts and 1 x side universal side wing (made it fit) and 2" PVC pipe on its cutter blade (to protect my gravel driveway). I also bought / installed a Snatch Block with 2" wheel (can also use 2.5" wheel version) - for its hoist steel cable. These upgrades are worth it as well....
If ATV front wheels hit the plow parts I'd simply re-mount the universal mount forward 4-6 more inches. If unable to move forward, remove the provided square steel bars, take to local welder guy and he can easily make / provide 4-6 inch longer bars. That's what I would do...
That was my thinking at first and wouldn't be a problem if I was mounting it on a full size atv, however on my small frame 250cc I didn't have much space to work with and had to mount it behind the front wheels in order for the wheels to have enough clearance. I changed out the bars to 38" ones just yesterday and seems to fix the problem. We are expecting a dumping of snow later this week, I can't wait to test it.
U said u used a 1/2” eye bolt doesn’t it call for m12 in the instructions that is metric for 7/16” not quit as big as half inch not trying to be picky or anything but I want to ordering one of those lifting eyebolts but just need to know the correct size
You can use 7/16" if you want, 1/2" fits just fine on mine, I didn't have to do any modification. Try and get a Stainless steel eyebolt if possible, the carbon steel rusts up relatively quick. Im not sure where you're from, but you can also get a m12 stainless eyebolt on Amazon if that works better for you.
I’m here in Newfoundland Canada a small town called St Lawrence. I am glad to hear from u and yes i now have a couple ordered of Amazon M12 eye bolts Bit longer than I needed but the price was very good I’ll just have to trim them after I get them in place once again thanks for getting back to me u have a good day !!!!

Right on. I had to trim mine too. I think you guys had a bit more snow in the east than we did here in Ontario this season.
Yeah we have a huge snow storm coming in the next 3 day up to 80 cm but where I’m to we are getting 15 to 30 cm take care
