Looks great and ready for the white stuff. BTW, where are you located? You might want to add it to your sig. It may help others.

Nice. I'm sure you found out, as I did, those chains on the rear really help out.

Yes, they sure do! With the right set up these things can become little work horses! Feels like a complete different machine than the day I brought it home. Very impressed.

I'm starting my 4th winter plowing with mine. It's held up great. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=21115

I have set mine up for plowing too. It has worked great. I use spiked chains because of gravel driveway, wouldn't use them on anything paved, but with those and the no diff rear end, it will go anywhere my larger 4 wheel drive ATV's will go in the snow.
I did have to add 70 lbs of weight in the rear end to counter balance the blade I have when its up high...and that helped with traction too. |

It looks great. I almost went with the Rhino 250 but decided on the Pentora since it's a clone of the Yamaha Raptor. I often regard utility ATVs as "tractors", but I can see the Rhino would take very little to become a racing, mudding and jumping quad.
I outright ended up inventing a manual, semiautomatic plow for mine that is nearly finished, but I wandered into some other mods and work that couldn't be left behind. I have about 10 days before the snow comes so it's not a down to the wire situation. I will go up an inch in tire size due to what is standard on the market, then decide if I want to adjust the gears but I doubt it. I get lift in a hard shift to 3rd gear already, but more top end will break 60mph and the inch to the tires adds 5mph. |
