Mayby add plastic rod on the corners of that plow so you see them more easily so you dont have to lift your head when plowing and allso ad pieces of reflective tape to the rods just like 20 or 30 cm tall rods
You did a magnificent job on the shoes; I haven't seen snowplows with better! Usually, the shoes are little circular pucks that get stuck in gravel, and they're just a pain in the butt. I'm definitely going to steal this whole design and build the face of the plow out of plastic, probably a big piece of a throw-away chemical tote, similar to the roof of your UTV. I love the winch to rotate the plow! Much simpler than hydraulics! I'm really impressed with your ability to look at what you want, and figure out a way to get that without a lot of drama.
Yeah ive replaced the circular discs with mini ski´s on a few plows. Just make sure they are made out of Hardox or similar. amazing how fast they wear down.
@@chrisallen9154 Sorry, my friend. I made wooden prototype to moms Stiga Tornado lawn tractor. No invasive setup - easy to set up and easy to use. I will ask Donn (Donald), if he can make a real one. He lives just 1 hour away...

The overall build quality and engineering design was stunning. Very professional. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
I'm glad you suffered through that winch mounting publicly so the rest of us that have ever thought about doing something similar will know what we're getting into and might be able to bypass some of the earlier stages of failure. Looks very functional and durable in the end!!

I'd imagine this utv is in the same weight range as your 800 but this has a gear driven transmission and a 1900cc engine lol I'd be suprized if it didnt out push your polaris
@@thomasohanlon1060 🤣 yes I know, just couldn’t get the word for em at the time. Usually see the smaller round ones on each end. Have a merry Christmas Thomas. Btw love your name, it’s my 2nd name 🤩
I designed a plow with the rotation feature using a winch similar to your setup. I noticed the cable would always come loose when it hit the limit of each rotation direction, and now I understand why you added the spring, brilliant!
Maybe you can help me understand why the springs arent mounted between the blade and the cables? I dont understand what is the benefit of having it on the winch, which seems to be more complicated.
That plow looks like it works just awesome and the power angle is sweet. Can't wait for the next video, the power drive trailer is the best part when you teased making it.
Excellent work! Thanks for showing your troubleshooting! It must be extremely satisfying to have every part of your creation working well! I bet you're about ready to build an improved version of your UTV haha
Put a strip of belting behind the cutting edge as a sweep 3''/4'' tall 8/10 cm helps keep from pushing rocks lower skids/raise your blade . Nice build and addition !
This was AWESOME !! You need it you build it !! Very very nice!! 👍A new addition coming up very cool !! It is a true privilege to watch you work and create and to be part of your channel !!
This entire build from start to finish was awesome to watch. You have built an amazing machine Donn keep these projects coming alwayslook forward to your videos
I have no interest in snow plows , I'm in southeast Texas ,BUT I do like watching a guy with a great shop in tools and no unless talking on and on. Thumbs up.
I sure hope people watched to the very end. Looks like another set of wheels is coming and maybe a track addition. Could even be a powered cart or pto something. Looks awesome!
This sounds silly, but I never once thought about the existence of right hand drive UTVs. Been overseas, in RHD cars, trucks and buses, but never saw one UTV; not once. Great work; looks like a very functional plow.
We have right hand side traffic and left hand side steering here in Estonia. This UTV just came out this way (with right hand side steering) while putting together the powertrain. I use it only offroad here on my property for running errands (hauling stuff mainly) so the steering position is not relevant anyway.
Nice job Don. Few things… 1) could you have used extension springs on each cable instead of winch spring. Springs would be the “cushion valve” so to speak. Easy to replace. Looks like you have bucket full of them. 2) “A” frame in decline angle. All plows I work with frame is parallel to ground if not slightly inclined to plow. Less chance to want to “run over” plow 3) increase drum size on winch. This will offer faster angle speeds. Last wrap of winch drop has fastest cable speed although least pulling power…always a trade off same with hydraulics
First, Merry Christmas. Great work as always. You finished just in time. I have been plowing snow for over 50 years. A couple things you may want to consider. First, the gears in the winch you use to angle the plow are not likely to last very long, they don’t like heavy shock loads. An electric linear actuator might be better if it heavy duty, still electric, and not hydraulic. Second, and less important you may want to move the shoes out to the end of the blade. Keep up the good work.
Hello If you bolted rubber belting to the top, you would get the snow curling effect. Move more snow, and keep it off the windshield. Enjoy your videos.
Finally got around to adding the winch angle to my buggy. Did exactly as you did Donn. Works great !!! The geometry of it is a head scratcher for me tho. Guessing the travel is different in each direction. Thanks for the awesome idea !!! Greg in Pennsylvania
Awesome job. I would add some plow wings to the plow (angled ends that allow for better scooping). That would help to widen the plowed snow beyond the wheel tracks and helps to eliminate spillover from the leading edge when wind rowing the snow.
Hello from Ukraine. I have been watching your work for a long time. You are a very cool master and you have very cool projects.

Has to be pretty satisfying to build all of that from scratch then put it to work... and it does what it is supposed to do. I like your constant tension design. I wouldn't have gone down that design road the first time.
Donn, you could use a steering valve from a forklift with a hydraulic diversion valve, your power steering pump and a couple hydraulic cylinders and have a more solid setup for blade angle. Maybe you could check breaker yards in your are for a junked forklift for donor parts? The tilt cylinders would be most adequate for that. Aside from that, you have a very nice build for that white fluffy stuff.
Nice build. Couple of suggestions though. I would do an insert in the tubing where the winch bolts are sliding to prevent ovaling out the tubing. Also, I would attach a replaceable cutting edge on the blade.
Great job! How about putting on some easily detachable (plastic and canvas) side and back doors/windows? Add a simple salvaged heater and it will be comfortable and cozy for plow work. 👍👍
I am looking forward to coming back here to see all the, "You should have done it this way...", "You should have done it that way..." comments in the full knowledge that Donn knows exactly what he is doing as documented by his own channel ! = ) Merry Christmas Donn and family !
I would put a proper actuator instead to turn the Blade. You need to build so it can resist full Force when hitting something Hard in One end :) neither less very Good build so far!!
@@purask yeah hydraulic would be the best But larger electric ones can take a real punch. And i say this after have built and driven alot of clearing of Snow myself. When you hit that Hard thing in THE ground :)
yeah, here in Canada we have princess auto and huge linear actuators are cheaper than winches. I just put one on the dump box of my polaris big boss with 200 lb lift / 12 inch travel for $60 bucks and some bed frames from the dump. Painfully slow but it works.
🇨🇦 Plows are great for moving snow, but I ditched mine for a Snowblower and have never looked back. I'm sure with your skills you could come up with an awesome one. Cheers.🇨🇦
Incredible that you can build a plow yet have very little initial intuition of how to use one. Looks to be a success and should be durable. Will be interesting to see how the angle adjustment holds up, that was a clever solution.
More awesome work! I don't own a welder but I'm very entertained watching the cool fabrication. I wish there was some voice overs added but I'll continue to watch with great interest.!
Those last few seconds got me excited Donn. I love the blade but I would splice the eyes with farmer eyes. A farmers eye is where you divide the the strands in the cable ... one side has three and the other has four as you unwind them from the end. Leave them in groups yet just in sense half them so that it would be a cable with two ends about a foot long. Now just like as if you were going to tie a knot in the end, roll it together at the end going back towards the cable you are holding and keep winding it back into its groove so that you have a eye on the end of your cable. One way of winding and it goes right back like it was as a single strand of seven wound together an the other is a knot or a mess. You will figure out how much to keep so that when its wound together it stops where you stopped unwinding it from. This way you need no clamps an it looks way nicer or you could weave a metal sleeve in its eye, your choice but it doesn't need a press to make the eye and its quick to do. Merry christmas Donn
The blade angle-changing mechanism is a great idea and I may use the same method (and the spring tensioner) to tilt my new solar panels -to follow the sun. By the way, your cat needs more attention, warm bed and food etc as she looks worried.
On the tilt mechanism : Couldn't you use a simple spring pulled pulley, pulling on the cable adjusting the slack on the cable ? A bit like a timing belt or accessory belt on an engine. Or simply spring load one side of the blade,so it's always pulled,and the other side is pulled by the winch ?
@@DonnDIY Be careful if a blade side is hitting an obstacle. if the cable doesn't break,the whole winch or its support will give up. The cable tensionner sould be the weak link looks like.
Nice job, but I have one suggestion. Always be moving when you drop the blade and drop it before hitting the row of snow. It is far easier on all of the equipment.. I plowed for a living once upon a time. Now I live in Florida.. Hahahaha...
Привет. Молодец, хорошая работа. У нас в России на снегоуборочный ковш по нижней кромке прикрепляют кусок резины толщиной 10-15 мм, чтобы по земле скользил не металл, а резиновая кромка ковша, это помогает не врезаться в неровности, камни, люки.

you did a great job congrats only one small detail you missed when installing the bolts for the spring on motor was to put a pipe inside the the tubing to act as a bushing without it you with wear out the tubing and after some use the bolts will start to stick and break your cable again but great build

Simple, effective and reliable. It's a beautiful thing. Watching a master as he designs and builds it? Well, it's the reason why I love UA-cam.
