I almost always go plow snow down the driveway with the blade straight across. After the first pass is made I turn the blade 20° to the right and start pushing against the snow on the right side in a circle, pushing out as I plow. Then after an hour of plowing snow I get off and quit to go inside and have hot coffee! Listen to the news and lit a cigarette and look out the bay window! Its snowing again 2" @ hour!! Damn it!
How much was ur whole set up, i plow with trucks but I would definitely consider this for sidewalks and narrow driveways. I definitely didn’t expect it to plow that well. It has so much power
Awesome! Gonna look into getting one for my scrambler 1000, Not to be a keyboard warrior but as a fellow Polaris owner, and a snow plower, you should run your machine in low while doing that, less wear on the belt and clutches and trans.
scrambler with a plow would be a ton of fun! I actually only plow in low gear, moving that much snow just ups the RPM making it sound like it is in high gear. I was pretty impressed with how my machine/trans/belt held up with the abuse I put it through.
NEMideergoon,That is correct,Except sometimes especially with deep snow or certain situations better with high gear for high speed to help propell/throw the snow further. Like his driveway on long narrow section with fence on 1 side & somewhat open on other side. So to leave room or not run out of room in future plowing.
Great job Brother I think you did the best job you could. it's a art to plow driveways i have been plowing driveways 7 sidewalks for a long time but I really like your plow setup I have to get off my to change the blade direction every time which sucks But I am going to check into getting a setup what you have thanks for the video
V plows rock!! That's a great plow but you definately need a powerfig quad to push it. Bern planning to put one on my track 6 wheeler n just cruise it. Nice video.
Dude that thing is fuckin sick!!!! Sounds great too. With what you have it takes a special kind of person. The house you have, your four wheeler. You are smart and have motivation to make your dreams happen. I mean you thought to yourself you know let’s get a Polaris. And then you said well shit she could push some snow. Got the best plow around. Like your style. It’s the people like you that keeps this country alive. Take her easy and have a good one brother!
Great video! I have a 2007 Sportsman 850 and a Moose Country plow, it moves just as much snow (I am in Alaska), BUT I would much rather have a Boss V Plow with the articulation you have.
Everything I've read on ATV plowing says to "plow with the storm". Having as much experience as you do with this plow system, in your experience, how high would you allow the snow to accumulate (max height) before its absolutely time to make a few passes with the plow?
Well if your plowing commercially whatever your contracts has or the customer wants is what you follow. So if a business needs plowed at 2inches than you go plow when it reaches 2 inches and in your contract should be if it keeps snowing and usually the business will or you will have that set up your contract for more snow. The really good contracts to get are a 0 tolerance, so any snow at all at any time you plow as long as you set the pricing set up right. As for plowing for yourself like your home or friends home. The most Iv plowed with this v plow on a driveway was 15in. But what’s really important per storm is what kind of snow falls. If it’s heavy wet snow you won’t be able to push as much without a lot more momentum. And it usually takes longer, With fluffy light snow you could easily plow as much as the height of the plow if not more because you can raise your plow and make a relief cut with the v plow. The 15in I worked with was heavy on bottom and a fluffy layer on top and to me that was maxing the machine and plow out. I’m sure it could have handled more if it was just fluffy but 15-16in would be my limit for my setup.
Rich,Also the deeper the snow the less bite (smaller amount) you plow with every push/run. But the sooner you do it (the less to push) the less wear & tear on machine/plow as stated already.
Snow Plowing is an activity that might be like bursting through the crocodile layers, except I don't know if a person is able to do it professionally without lowering a high position. There are many shows relating to financial management & mechanical maintenance.
How awesome is this! I used mine bro for 13 hours one day and 6 the next. It’s a beast. I saw the part where U hit the curb. Yeah man that will do to. That was hard. And about it dropping fast. It’s better to drop fast like urs. Mines the same. It’s quicker like u said but when you are back dragging you need it to drop fast and hard so you really get down to the ground. And great editing!
Just got this installed on my 2017 polaris sportsman. Do you recommend rear tire chains? Do you adjust your drop speed? Also I have a 450ho. I upgraded my springs to the HD springs, and I got a shift kit put in proffesional. I want to buy a 2020 850sp bc they have more power. How can I get better traction? I'll be giving the 450 to my wife when I get the 850 and put my v plow on that. Love this boss vplow!!! I'm in upstate ny, Upstate plow installed this on my machine last week. Sold me it for the price of the straight boss plow after bargaining bc somone who had tracks on his atv ordered the vplow but they could not install it on his machine bc of the tracks. Thats why I got a good deal! Anyhow love your videos, and after viewing them, I finally pulled the trigger and got it replacing my glacier plow....huge difference!!!
For traction most guys add sand bags or any kind of weight on the back. I wouldn’t use chains personally because I’m never plowing on dirt most asphalt and concrete. I never had a traction issue if I felt I needed more traction adding a bucket of salt or sand bags on the back of the machine is never a bad idea. Just make sure it’s secured down 😂 stuff will fly when you hit a pile and the pile wins haha. Also helps balance the machine with all that weight from the front plow.
Hi buddy hope you’re doing great Question for you What is the dimension of the plow when you set it in V position. Do you can plow 5’ ft sidewalk without damaging the lawn??
Hi, clearly you have been doing a lot of plowing with that polaris so which do you recommend for plowing snow and what are the good and bads of each one Side by side or the "normal model". Im thinking of buying an atv for the next seasond and now thinking which one is better.
ATV: best for tight sidewalks and fitting in tight areas. (Depending on size of plow) UTV:best for things other than small sidewalks and tight areas and if you want to stay warm and be out of the elements. Plow size depending as well. UTV if you want to take your wife or girl off season with you somewhere. But you can also get a 2 sweat ATV. For me I would love to have a side by side but for doing sidewalks it wouldn’t work in my area. A lot of the sidewalks I work with could fit a UTV but some won’t the ATV is what would do them all in my situation and route. The V plow is absolutely great for me. I do a lot of driveways and its fantastic. But the strait plows also very good and have there purpose. I would choose a strait blade plow for sidewalks all day if I was only doing sidewalks, except for when the snow on the sidewalks is to deep for a straight plow, the v plow is the best for getting through that stuff. If you have any specific questions let me know, not sure if your wondering about engine size like 570vs850vs1000 or polaris vs can am or bade model vs power steering model and such. let me know and I’ll try and answer as soon as I can. A lot of it for me was what I could afford at the time.
I have no idea, I would imagine probably not, I’m not sure if they make an extension piece. If you need some measurements I’d be happy to measure whatever you need whenever I use the machine next.
@@martinneps9387 I would think so. But go to a dealer or better yet contact maker of atv & maker of tracks. Search on here for atv with tracks & plow. Just might find your answer that way as well.
Driveway size and snow depth depends on how long it takes and plow size. Having a v plow mostly helps with stacking and moving snow and cutting through deep snow. I have a Polaris 850SP.
@@ninatojnko1994 You need the winch to raise plow blade. Unless you get old fashion garden tractor/atv style & fabricate it to fit. Then has a handle to manually lift & lower blade,But also can jump/bounce while plowing so won't be as efficient & will make for extra work,time to plow.
@@AutoPilotMT nothing like plowing a parking lot with a atv we have a quad with a plow a sears suburban garden tractor a ranch king and a craftsman Lt1000 all 4 are fun to plow with our tractors ain't a regular tractor ours are offroad mowers so basically a ATV anyway lol
My two videos of plowing snow 8in are plowing a gravel driveway, it is iced over in spots but all you do is lift the blade up a touch and work with it up and down. I’m no expert but it gets the job done. Thank WHo da doo
@ Christian. I imagine so,At the worst,Can always fab it to work. Although need weight for back of garden tractor as well as chains. Even then is a chance the plow weight would be too much for tractor being only 2 wheel drive.
AUTO PILOT....Don't know how long you've been plowing...so I wont slam you too much. But...I've been plowing with a quad for over 20 years..all in my neighborhood...( 3 city blocks....sidewalks/ parking strips & driveways). Here's my tip...Use FULL angle on the 1st and 2nd passes next to the garage doors...then use the next less angle to push the snow further away from the structure. Next TIP...When plowing a road or driveway ALWAYS use the most angle with speed. This will force the snow to be thrown further. And Last...Because of that awesome blade...then you can go back for cleanup....this will save you fuel...time...and wear on your blade. And if your being paid by the job or hour you will make more for less. One last ...ALWAYS move the snow AWAY from structure or obstacles (like fences). Unless you have fences on both sides....if so ...find an area where no vehicles park or use and push the snow there. Even if you need to start your push from the road.
@@AutoPilotMT Not a problem. If you have a friend that's either a welder or fabricator..they may help you out with the extension issue. It's amazing what Beer or Food can buy.
First few times out I had no weight on the back, recently I carry a 5 gallon bucket of ice melt that is usually half full most of the time. The 850 weighs more than a 570 and you can really tell that the weight is there if you drive the two side by side, the extra weight helps you push more snow and carry you further pushing through piles. It does a great job with or without but more weight on the back always helps traction. Thanks Todd!
In your opinion. I’m an above right knee amputee. What would you consider between the 850 and the 570 sxs with a boss snow plow would be best for me do you think? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks and great video.
I would highly recommend going down to a dealer and sitting on the available machines. The new 850 has a very comfy/soft seat and is more narrow in the front and wider in the back giving the rider better grip/comfort/options compared to the 570s seat. The build quality is also much better on the 850. Boss v plows can be heavy (250lbs) so I would highly recommend the 850 with the extra power and weight behind it. 570 will handle it as well though just works the machine more, but still a great setup. A strait boss plow would work great on both machines I’m sure. Depends on what you want to spend on a machine and what fits you the best. The 850 Having the extra power and crisper shifter was what I really wanted as well as the bucket rings and all the tie down points compared to the 570 was just a much better machine. The battery doesn’t die on the 850 as well. My 570 battery just worked harder to keep up without that extra cylinder the 850 has. 570 battery likes to die when stoping quick plowing. Definitely go down to a dealer and sit in them both. I recommend 850 if $ isn’t an issue. 570’s are a great price for what they do but if I had the opportunity to go back in time I would not have bought my 570sp and would have gotten the base model 850 and added power steering later. Hope that helps! Thank you!
why don´t you put on any exrta light on the atv. i have a ledramp 126w in the front and a working light in the back, much better when it´s dark. grate video man.
For me it gives off enough light to get the job done and I’m comfortable with the setup. My LED license plate and middle brake light helped the rear visibility a ton and does a great job. I wanted the middle work light that the 1000 has but decided to try the brake light and it does the job. The front light doesn’t get covered by the plow very much and the upper handlebar light gives off plenty of light for me. Thank you!
When I first got it the plow dropped pretty soft, as it gets broken in and the hydraulic fluid gets flowing through and warms up it passes through the hoses quicker and drops faster. If I leave my machine outside in the trailer over night and the temperature drops pretty cold, it drops pretty slow for most of the day till the fluid warms up. It won’t hurt it either way, you can change how fast your hydraulics move and drop by working with the nozzles inside to bigger or smaller diameter letting more or less fluid pass through at a given time. I originally didn’t like my plow dropping fast but now I like it because it makes for quicker work.
Gundy Productions most times you want it to slam down. It will bust threw ice and get to the base (pavment) get a good push. And if you back blade with it you want and good slam to get threw the snow. Not hurting anything
Auto Pilot gotcha. Yea I know What you mean with the Slow drop when it's cold. Must be a boss thing with how it's cylinder lift. Running an 8'2 v blade this year and its got the valve cranked pretty tight so it drops slow. But I'm in the U. P. And it's painfully slow for the first lot. Gotta time everything right when your backing into traffic haha. Otherwise you start going forward and your still dropping.
Greg Cook I don't really agree with that philosophy. A plow is designed to push snow. Not really break up ice. When material gets too hard it will either just ride over it or trip and then ride over it. They do have they're limits. And plows are designed to go forward. That's why they have the downward angle. They aren't designed to drag backwards. The cutting edge is angled the wrong way for that and will ride up over material. Back dragging is really only good for packing down snow unless you have an actual back drag edge. But even still in the event of hitting an obstacle while back dragging you risk damaging your plow because the engineered fail safes are for going pushing not pulling.
When you plow that First Driveway. Why plow ???? and leave all those Trails of snow. You should have done that in half the number of Swipes. But doing it for fun, who cares. Nice setup.
You are making a mess. Watch some videos on "HOW TO PLOW SNOW" I plow deep snow in Maine regularly and here, you must do a right (full angle and push towards the same side) or you would never finish. Nice plow.
That's some deep fluffy snow and the ATV took care of business!
Out of all the snow plow videos with a atw your videos are the best
Hristian Ugrinoski Thank you much! To answer your previous question it is a 2017 Polaris 850SP with a Boss ATV V Plow.
Reminds me of when I was a kid plowing peoples driveways with my 185 Suzuki quad runner
I want to move to a more snowier climate to justify having an amazing setup like this.

Very impressed with how much the 850 and the Boss plow can push. Did you add weight in the back? Great video!
First few times out I had no weight on the back, recently I carry a 5 gallon bucket of ice melt that is usually half full most of the time. The 850 weighs more than a 570 and you can really tell that the weight is there if you drive the two side by side, the extra weight helps you push more snow and carry you further pushing through piles. It does a great job with or without but more weight on the back always helps traction. Thanks Todd!
In your opinion. I’m an above right knee amputee. What would you consider between the 850 and the 570 sxs with a boss snow plow would be best for me do you think? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks and great video.
I would highly recommend going down to a dealer and sitting on the available machines. The new 850 has a very comfy/soft seat and is more narrow in the front and wider in the back giving the rider better grip/comfort/options compared to the 570s seat. The build quality is also much better on the 850. Boss v plows can be heavy (250lbs) so I would highly recommend the 850 with the extra power and weight behind it. 570 will handle it as well though just works the machine more, but still a great setup. A strait boss plow would work great on both machines I’m sure. Depends on what you want to spend on a machine and what fits you the best. The 850 Having the extra power and crisper shifter was what I really wanted as well as the bucket rings and all the tie down points compared to the 570 was just a much better machine. The battery doesn’t die on the 850 as well. My 570 battery just worked harder to keep up without that extra cylinder the 850 has. 570 battery likes to die when stoping quick plowing. Definitely go down to a dealer and sit in them both. I recommend 850 if $ isn’t an issue. 570’s are a great price for what they do but if I had the opportunity to go back in time I would not have bought my 570sp and would have gotten the base model 850 and added power steering later. Hope that helps! Thank you!
I had the same set up a few yrs ago , but with a sacrambler 850 on tracks . It was a damn tank i had a 12 foot high ramp made out of snow pushed up
Never tried tracks on an ATV/UTV sounds sweet.
Its a handsame machine
why don´t you put on any exrta light on the atv. i have a ledramp 126w in the front and a working light in the back, much better when it´s dark. grate video man.
For me it gives off enough light to get the job done and I’m comfortable with the setup. My LED license plate and middle brake light helped the rear visibility a ton and does a great job. I wanted the middle work light that the 1000 has but decided to try the brake light and it does the job. The front light doesn’t get covered by the plow very much and the upper handlebar light gives off plenty of light for me. Thank you!
anyone know how much one of these costs?
Am sure you could find out on boss's website.
How much boss wack you for that roughly?
3k at the time
Very good
Man it sounds like that thing hitting hard. Should be able to make it drop softer..
When I first got it the plow dropped pretty soft, as it gets broken in and the hydraulic fluid gets flowing through and warms up it passes through the hoses quicker and drops faster. If I leave my machine outside in the trailer over night and the temperature drops pretty cold, it drops pretty slow for most of the day till the fluid warms up. It won’t hurt it either way, you can change how fast your hydraulics move and drop by working with the nozzles inside to bigger or smaller diameter letting more or less fluid pass through at a given time. I originally didn’t like my plow dropping fast but now I like it because it makes for quicker work.
Gundy Productions most times you want it to slam down. It will bust threw ice and get to the base (pavment) get a good push. And if you back blade with it you want and good slam to get threw the snow. Not hurting anything
Auto Pilot gotcha. Yea I know What you mean with the Slow drop when it's cold. Must be a boss thing with how it's cylinder lift. Running an 8'2 v blade this year and its got the valve cranked pretty tight so it drops slow. But I'm in the U. P. And it's painfully slow for the first lot. Gotta time everything right when your backing into traffic haha. Otherwise you start going forward and your still dropping.
Greg Cook I don't really agree with that philosophy. A plow is designed to push snow. Not really break up ice. When material gets too hard it will either just ride over it or trip and then ride over it. They do have they're limits. And plows are designed to go forward. That's why they have the downward angle. They aren't designed to drag backwards. The cutting edge is angled the wrong way for that and will ride up over material. Back dragging is really only good for packing down snow unless you have an actual back drag edge. But even still in the event of hitting an obstacle while back dragging you risk damaging your plow because the engineered fail safes are for going pushing not pulling.
Wow that is a pretty slow drop, hopefully your enjoying the plow I bet that 8’2 can move a heck of a lot of snow.
When your plow costs as much as your 4 wheeler
Seems like this was your first time plowing.
Made more of this videos
When you plow that First Driveway. Why plow ???? and leave all those Trails of snow. You should have done that in half the number of Swipes. But doing it for fun, who cares. Nice setup.
You don't seem to have much experience plowing snow. I'm sure you will get better the more you do it
For sure, always learning.
Funny but boss plow does not recommend the vplow for any of the atvs...
Damn plowing straight blade sucks.
nice work but not so efficient
You are making a mess. Watch some videos on "HOW TO PLOW SNOW" I plow deep snow in Maine regularly and here, you must do a right (full angle and push towards the same side) or you would never finish. Nice plow.
