i don't know about you guys ,wood is awesome but there comes a time when steel is the way to go,

i like fabricating for some reason, and if there is a need then i usually build it out of wood, i guess that why i am a carpenter haha.

so in the winter i plow my drive with a four wheeler, which is fun till it's snowing or worst yet raining, last winter we had record cold and abundant snow, and i had alot of time on my hands.

so not wanting to buy a rhino, well i do i just don't want to spend 10 grand, so any way one day it was raining and i got soaked , then it came to me i need a roof to keep dry. well a day later and voila the prototype was born.

this winter i will do it in fiberglass, it actually works well for being made out of wood, i never even clamped it down, stayed on at 50 mph and keeps the wind off of yeah.















i know i have way to much time on my hands, thanks for looking keep the laughs at a minimum.

ihackwood

i don't know if i kicked it's ass but it's hurtin lol

yea, i am on the plowsite , you too huh, gotta love the snow

no the damn grass grows as fast as the snow drops haha, my lawntactor has bigger tires than my wheeler lol

i was actually thinking under the box lol or i was thinking i wanted to be under a roof.

i put white driving lights on it at the end,something about some solstice thing haha

thanks guys fiberglass is next, i'll see if i can do it better who knows

Hackwood,
That's a pretty nice job and a good idea. I have a polaris 700 I plow with and freeze my &** off at times. The woody is back.

I would think that it would be easier to just move to a place where the white stuff isn't a problem.

thanks mike, it really does keep ya warmer, because your not wet, i did some rough driving and could still use it this year, i even rolled it on her side, in the middle of the street lol in front of a car to boot,

i seen the car and thought i was gonna fish tail it around, not that day anyway, she bicycled and i wasriding it out and the blade caught the bank, wham it was too funny actually,

i enjoy winter still, it gives me time to play with my toys, so i am not ready for that yet, when i quit sledding the wife better look out, because i am moving with or with out her lol

Very innovative video. Thanks for runnin the heat too, I would've gotten cold just watching if you hadn't cranked it up. There were a few times where you were right in sync with the music, too. Your quad is the little snow plow that can. Thanks for posting it.

thanks tt, i know it ain't right, but when your wet your cold, sno spray across your face, usually freezes, then i look like the abominal snoman no a friggen yetti, as my wife says anyways.

oh yeah myquad is a stout little girl, you'd be surprised where i can take that quad and still get thru lol,

iuse to plow with a truck, doesn't take long to fill up an area and then all you do is shift back and forth, and a truck wont bank it as high, later

you need a Mr. Plow sign!!
