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...
Красавчик!!!!!уже несколько лет поражаюсь твоему инженерному гению. С наступающим новым годом. Спасибо за твой труд и настойчивость . Из России с наилучшими пожеланиями творческих успехов и здоровья.
As someone who has done a lot of metal fabrication and design, I was especially impressed at the fact that You were willing to show the fail steps that led to the improved version of the "power angle" approach. 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!!
@@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'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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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. I like your approach to business, I learned a lot from you and your videos. I wish you health, strength and inspiration for new projects. Good luck and all the best.👍💪 привет из Украины.Давно наблюдаю за твоим творчеством .ты очень крутой мастер и у тебя очень крутые проекты.

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.
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.
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
Someones do what they can... The Other someones do what they want... Great working again... On Finland is some text... " There are people some do that for money... someones dont by that and they do it himselves"
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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 !!
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.
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 !
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
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
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.
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

If you install triangular plow, you do not need to have winch or hydraulics to rotate it. Only up & down, with a parallelogram, to keep it leveled.

Отличная работа , привет с Грозного , интересно смотреть ваши видео 👍👍👍
This man is clever. Hes the type of person that used to live in america, back when we made things, instead of just consumed them. Well done.
Looks like gearing and traction is good. It can clearly outpush what my polaris 800 can push. It would probably work fine with longer blade too.
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
If u want to really push heaps mate, just buy a small budget tractor and it'll do heaps
@@owendodman3037
I'm pretty sure this weights 600kg at least. It has so much steel and car parts.

Great project, love the design. All it needs now is a little red paint splashed on the front and ''Zombie Killer'' written on the blade.
