As some of you may have followed, plowing snow with my Rzr has not been trouble free.
Maybe I’m a rookie, I don’t know. I plow the neighborhood with a 3/4 ton pick up.
For the last three years, I have also plowed with my now traded in Polaris 550 X2 atv. With zero issues I might add, synthetic line and all.
Gas it up and let the snow fly.
With our new Rzr, I have broken a steel winch line and my new 10′ Tusk synthetic winch line. LOL
My plow seems to have a bad balance which I have not tuned out yet. Or maybe its just a bad design?
This plow has ‘trip’ springs attached. When you hit something underneath the snow, the plow will fold down.
Well I can’t plow anything on gravel without catching/tripping the plow down.
It brings my Rzr to a very sudden, abrupt halt. I am never going more than 10-12 mph I would guess (much less mostly). I can’t gas it up like I did on my atv.
Bumping up the winch results in a large movement of the blade (1-2"). Then I am floating pretty high with the blade and not getting a good cut with the blade.
These abrupt halts has bent my plow attachment pretty good, back into the grill & fairlead.
Now this stands to happen, the blade tripping that is. In fact it happens all to often.
Not a smooth operating plow at all. …I’ve bent the mount on my brand new Rzr.
The mount is not designed strong enough IMO.
Anyhow, I am done being the nice guy and plowing neighbors drives, as its all at my expense. I live in an un-even rural area, not a smooth tract neighborhood…

In my opinion the Polaris Rzr 570 is not a medium duty plow, and should not be used as such.
Its also my opinion not to buy an Rzr 570 with plowing in mind, as I did.
Keep it on smooth surfaces with no rough ice or frozen snow build up.
Sheesh, I didn’t get far with this thing.
I do like this 570 for recreational purposes. But not plowing snow. My 550 X2 atv plowed circles around it.
Just sharing my experience. Go away snow.
Here is my bent mount. I’ll be lucky if they warranty this.
