plow width

[Kyle]

So I ended up getting a nice used Outlander 650xt. Wondering how wide of plow I should get? The dealer said 60" due to the reduced footprint when locked at an angle...

He is correct! You need the extra width so you are not running over unplowed snow when you have the plow angled.

Also you'll learn by trial and error how much your ATV can plow. With my 450 when we have a lot of snow and especially if it's heavy I will plan on plowing more than once. I have a longish driveway and if I try to push 8-10" of snow even with the plow angled in can be kind of a bear. Not to mention with the plow angled your atv will want to not drive straight so you'll have to work the steering wheel to keep going straight.

I run a 48in on the 800efi. The place I bought it from said running wide plows on big machines can cause bent frames.

Never run over unplowed snow but backing up will unless I turn away.

It works ok but nothing compared to the 8.5ft pro plow, lol!

Run a 60" on a Honda 450 and I wouldn't want any narrower. I'm amazed at what this machine can push.
