Kodiak owners

[TV BOY]

I recently got a kodiak 450 and was wondering what size plows people are using. I like the slightly smaller stance of the Kodiak, and was wondering if a 48" will work and still clear the tires at a tilt.

Will clear no problem, Have installed 48" many times on 400 and 450, it's a more universal plow, most everyone puts on a 48" unless you got a lot to plow then go with a 60" blade.

ride safe, wear a helmut, stupid hurts

If you get'em serviced, wash'em first.

I have the 60 inch blade, and it works great. I have a 1999 Kodiak 400.
Driveway is 150 feet long, and in light snows it takes no time at all. In deeper snows, I just don't take a whole 60 inch push with the blade.

60" warn with 2.5 warn winch, works like a dream. 04Kodiak 450

With a 48" blade angled, it'll probably slide snow off in front of your front tire as you plow. A 450 will have no problem pushing a 60" plow.

The yamaha dealer in St.Cloud has moose plows in 50" or 60"
I live in town with a short ~60 ft but wide drive with a city side walk to clear. Is a 60" angled to wide for a side walk?

[Kodiak]

get the 60" standard blade, not the country plow dump unless you are plowing a street. The 60" is perfect for driveways and it is a little tricky when doing the sideway but just angle the blade and you will have no problems.

[sledhead]

Dave, Never seen any issues like that, But if your drive way is only 60 foot 48-52 inch blwade is fine.

If interested I just posted a plow in want ad section thats like new. Snow cleared tires on my Foreman with blade angled. Pretty sure Foreman stance is wider than a Kodiak I think that depending on your needs each size has a use. Enjoy your toy.

I have a Yamaha Big Bear 350, I put the 48" on when I bought the machine, I wish I had put the 60" on.

Thanks for all the info I went with the 50" moose plow with a warn winch. It's a 5 position straight plow. I was told it should clear the tires on the tightest angle setting and work great on the side walks.

Now we need some snow to try it out
I don't think the neighbors will mind me clearing their sidewalks ( as long as I keep it under 30 ) - LOL.

[Dave]

Ah huh, so TV Boy's another to blame for the lack of snow, since he got a new toy! LOL

Sounds like a nice setup.

[TV BOY]

Don't Blame me!
I sold a sled to get a wheeler. That alone should have blizzard written all over it. LOL LOL.

In today's world, everyone has to blame somebody else, ya know.
