- 2018 CFMoto ZForce 500 with Kolpin Switchblade "ATV" Plow.
My thoughts about how it performs as a plow are at the end of the video.
I bought the Kolpin Switchblade ATV model because it is adjustable to 60" (perfect for the 50" ZForce) and it was on sale for $350! I got it mounted on the frame using a little bit of creativity and I'm happy about it's sturdiness. This little ZForce continues to do whatever I ask of it!

I give my final thoughts about how it performs at 6:10. Thanks for watching, and as always, Subs, likes and comments are appreciated!
I think that performs perfectly! I would love to have one on my grandpas side by side. How is fishing? remember I’m the guy from Sudbury,
@@nathangravel2883 It's been slow! I am making a video now, but had to combine some highlights from 3 different trips just to keep it interesting haha. I have Garmin Panoptix now, and I'm going with my wife on Tuesday. Stay tuned for some good ones (hopefully).
It’s been slow for me too. I have caught lots of afternoon aggressive pike, but only a couple of walleyes each evening. It was quite slow when I went yesterday, it was -37 with the windchill! I so need the Otter XT Hideout, which I am buying next Christmas. Today is -48 in Sudbury!!! Extreme cold. I look forward to the next video. Quick question. Any tips toward walleye just sitting under my bait about half a foot and not biting? I was anoying how they would see the flutter of the spoon, come up, and I’d jig it again, and they’d be skiddish. If I jiggle it, they nip it, but never hit hard enough to set the hook. I use the custom jigs and spins slender spoon, amazing spoon with golden flash. What do you think?
@@nathangravel2883 Are you tipping with a minnow? That would be my suggestion on those slow days, if not. It's happened to me a lot this year also. I try to use at least a minnow head on the hook when the bite is less aggressive, which is likely on those super cold days! Another option is to have a 2nd rod with a smaller spoon and a minnow on it, to drop it down quickly when it won't hit your first line. I like using the Lindy Rattl'n Flyer for that role. It works really well with a whole minnow on the hook. Sometimes they just want an easy piece of meat LOL. I use Rippin' Raps a lot and I have tipped with minnow head on the front treble, but I find it does change the action a bit so I'm not a huge fan.
I would recommend plowing with it on an angle and work from one side to the other. Doing it the way you are, you are putting snow where you have already plowed. Then you have to make several more trips to clean it up. just push with it on an angle, back up and push again taking about 3/4 of a bite. This will keep all the snow going in one direction leaving a nice clean driveway. I have been doing this a long time, trust me. I hope to save you some time and a lot of back and forth. Good luck my friend and nice set up !!
Thanks! I am going to try it out like this. I also didn't realize pushing it across the road was a no no last year, lol.
@@GuardianGrove Great. I'm confident you will see how more efficient it will be. Let me know how it works out. I would love to know if my suggestion made it easier for you. Take care !!
That worked great.The dealer tried to sell me one,But I have 2 tractors and a Payloader,Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for video. Mines on its way and was nice to see it in action. Works well from what I've seen here. Cabelas has it right now 299.99 with 50 dollar mail in rebate free ship!
I’ve got the same zforce 500 and a cforce 800. Very well engineered machines. Good power, responsive, well designed and thought out over all. If you ever break that plow look for a Denali by Moto alliance. You can literally attach it to a Jeep it’s so thick and heavy duty, with that comes weight though, it’s at least 150-200lbs but worth every penny
Tittle Diesel Performance LLC I totally agree about the Denali plow. I get about 11 ft of snow a year and it shows little wear after three years of plowing a 100 yard driveway
You ever have bylaw or opp called by the township about pushing snow accross the road? I got a $195 ticket for doing that into the bush lol and in the cleaning up part half the street got done
No I haven't. Someone else commented about it earlier and it was the first I've heard about it. I didn't know it was an issue.
Love your neighbors
So little snow ...... I'm jealous
Lol we've had one snow fall since then. Not a whole lot!
Nice job being a good neighbor! :)
How happy are you with CForce as a whole? How does it compare to your experience with Polaris (you mentioned you have/had a Sportsman?) in terms of overall build quality, dealer service etc?
This model is a "ZForce". Their ATVs are "CForce". I'm happy with CFMoto, the machine and the company. I would do it again, knowing what I know now. I have no regrets. The first Polaris I bought was a 2012 Sportsman HO and I had some problems with it stalling and not starting afterwards right from week 1 of ownership. I had it serviced under warranty and they fixed the problem for me. I had no issues afterwards except for not starting really good in the cold (it was carbureted). I had to put an electric heater on it to warm the engine before I started it in the winter. I now have a 2016 Sportsman 570 and I haven't had any issues. I haven't had issues with the CFMoto yet either and at this point, both machines has similar mileage. This coming season should be a really good test for it, as I will be riding it a lot more. If you haven't yet, you should consider subscribing to my channel. I will be posting a lot more about CFMoto this season!
Great video man.
Appreciate it!
Time to be a good neighbour my ass ...... You're just not done having fun yet 🤘🏻😜🤘🏻
Well, you're not wrong. I have to plow other driveways or I'll hardly get to use it this winter!
If you angled your blade to one side you would clear your driveways way way faster then pushing it straight dealing with spill over. Split the drive way in half, angle each side towards the side edge. Just a suggestion. Been plowing for over 20 years.
better yet, get a blower.
a piece of advice is to abide by the CF moto manual and drive in low all the time except for high speed roads, trail and plowing low all the time
I agree. I do keep it in low for most of the riding I do, and certainly for something like this, that can potentially put a lot of extra wear on the belt. I do the same with my Polaris and Kawasaki machines.
Can we have picture we're do you put the U bolt with the braquet on the frame please?
I'm no longer using this plow. There's nothing wrong with it, but I switched to a KFI plow with a purpose built mount for the ZForce. It wasn't fun trying to make the universal mount work for the Kolpin, so I got the direct bolt on, front-mount KFI system instead.
Quit plowing snow across the road!!
Lost all respect for you once I saw you plow all the snow across the street.
Can you do me a favor and explain? Obviously I'm missing something. If it's about my neighbor across the street, he loves my plow and we've discussed it prior. If it's something else, I would honestly appreciate the perspective.
I'm looking at the mess you're leaving on the street for traffic to hit. Be a shame if it somehow caused an accident. We're on UA-cam, I'm sure you've seen the videos...
@@d3br34k5 LOL snow police is here!
Clean it up !
She better plow snow if my 450 rhino can
Yeah - but everybody doubts the Chinese machine!
Does that plow angle if it does you won’t do such a sloppy job
I thought you had a red one. I bought a blower last year. I'd rather the z force.
I HAD this one and a red one. I just sold the red one because I didn't use them all/had too many lol. This is the one I'll be riding now. I enjoy plowing on this and snow blowing was still a chore so I chose the plow. Plus for $350, you can't go wrong!
@@GuardianGrove it'sa real set up. I never thought I'd enjoy watching a video on snow plowing, lol
I just bought a new dr650 last summer so I guess I'll have to wait. Maybe, lol
@@donaldmaclean4842 LOL I hear you. While I was editing this one, I tried to keep in mind how tough it is to make plowing snow interesting haha. Awesome about that DR650 man! I want another bike real bad...I miss my KLR... The bike that got my channel started.
@@GuardianGrove I had the 07 in black. Love the klr. Should have kept it. Did the trans lab on it and it worked awesome. The dr is such a good price. 63oo plus rebates. I've been watching maritimeratv his channel is a good one Also.
Thanks for the videos, I know they take work. D
@@donaldmaclean4842 I'll have to check that channel out! 6300 eh?? Hmmmm. I've driven the Trans Lab lots, but only in my Jeep haha. Only small legs on the KLR when I lived in Goose Bay. I appreciate your comments my friend!
I have the 2018 uforce 500. I hate it. Turns like crap drive belt always slips, pops out of low rang and grinds and it’s gut less. Only had 90miles on it. It just sits in my enclosed trailer.
Damn! I really like the looks of the uforce. Warranty wouldn't take care of those things? That seems odd! I hope you get it taken care of and get to enjoy it this year. Thanks for watching.
Only has a 90day warranty on it. But the dealer I got it from took care of me free of charge and they found that it had a seised caliper. But couldn’t grind issues with belt but replaced it and gave me the old belt. No luck on the low rand popping out.
@@ericgrady1797 You would think the low range issue is just a linkage adjustment... That 90-day warranty is crazy.. CFMoto Canada gives a standard 5-year warranty with all their machines! It's fantastic. Good luck man.
Yeah it is the leakage but it keeps messing up. I’d love the 5yr warranty
