Just bought a new Rhino 250 and am going to install a 60" snow plow - Page 3

PANDEMIC · 01-23-2019, 10:44 AM

My plow won't be here until tomorrow.

I sure could use it today 5" already still another 4-6" coming. This was done less than an hour ago by hand.

So if you remember I tied in trailer light plug for my ATV. so I picked up a 4 pin trailer light extension wired it to my magnetic strobe light and now have a street legal ATV for city use during a snow emergency. I can drive it within the city as long as it is within 2 miles of your main hub. My uncle is 1 mile from me so now I can rip around here.

Love Snow Loop Holes

Love the loophole! I'd have a much better time clearing snow with a quad than a shovel.

PANDEMIC · 01-23-2019, 06:39 PM

So looked into the rules light has to be elevated. So back to the drawing board. I still had angle iron and square tube from the crate the ATV came in. So here is a quick slide show of the light post build. 3 bolts to hold it on and the bolts are already on the ATV. I still have to clean up some welds and paint it but almost done.

Looks good!

PANDEMIC · 01-23-2019, 06:53 PM

Started the tack welds without a face mask so I was closing my eyes and looking away trying to weld. That doesn't work it so the main pole is not square to the frame. Then I called my uncle and had him bring a mask. lol

PANDEMIC · 01-23-2019, 07:05 PM

I plan to add a blinker kit to it still.

I need to find some tire chains without the vbar its f*$king up my driveway bad. Opps hope the wife dont get pissed.

Thanks for the heads up on the instructions and the video. Love the paint booth. I usually use the clothes line..... LOL wife loves it when I do that.

What's a "V" Bar?

PANDEMIC · 01-23-2019, 10:33 PM

see how they weld a v bar onto every link of the chain that touches the ground. it grips like crazy but also scratches like crazy. These are great on ice though

PANDEMIC · 01-23-2019, 10:36 PM

I need some like this so it won't scratch as bad.

Darth Racer · 01-24-2019, 06:07 AM

Ahhh okay.... thought it was some sort of part that mounts the blade differently.
