Thoughts on using electric actuator to lift plow

So I finally burned up my warn winch plow at least it’s under warranty but I’ve been thinking about rigging up a electric actuator to lift the plow I think it will also lift fast then the winch what my concerns are is that it’s not going to want to float anymore for when I go over a snow bank although I do like the thought of being able to put down pressure so I can scarp better I’m just wondering what everyone’s thoughts and concerns are and if any one has done it with a actuator this is a flex plow

I hesitate – XMR or not

Hi everybody, my name is Luc and i’m from Quebec in Canada
First thing first, I was convinced to buy a XMR 570 until I speak to my seller and know that the DPS 570 have a 5 year warranty and the XMR 6 month.
I didn’t do a lot of millage a year but considering i’ll pay the bike several year I really hesitate.
I don’t really do mud, good tires and good ground clearance are essential for my kind of driving (play in snow/water and crazy off-roading)

There’s the prices here in Quebec/Canada (Canadian dollars)

Outlander XMR 570: 10994$
Terra 25 winch: 384$
Total: 11378$

Outlander DPS 570: 9994$
Front XT bumper: 164$
Terra 25 winch: 384$
Relocated bumper: 464$
Maxxis Zilla’s 27" 600$ (I prefer those to the 28" mudzillas of the XMR)
Installation or everything at the dealer 100-200$
Total: 11750$

The difference is about 400$ for a "custom" Outlander DPS
A B.E.S.S 36 month extra warranty for a XMR is about 1200$

Airs intakes are little higher on the XMR
Gearing transmission is different. I wait for the information at my dealer to know is the difference is significative.
What else I forget?

Thanks you !!!

New 2016 & 2017

Hello all.

For Christmas my wife and I got two Honda Recons from Santa – what a guy! Both are brand new. My wife has a red one and I have a green one. No HEAVY four wheeling for us as we both qualify for AARP – nuff said.

Glad to be here and I will have questions later about best places for parts etc.
