Yea, there are alot of people that have various machines that last for very long times and don't have any problems with them, but like I said most people look at the stuff I go through and can't beleive it. I go by listening to people that have abused their machines the most and see which on they think is the best. :-D

Come on guys the best machine out there is the one I own. Why? Because I like it. Bought my first one in 94 and my secound one in 2001.Still have the 94 and work that has been done on it is because of me or somebody else, not the machine. I ride with a fairly big club and just about every make machine out there and they all seem to have a proublem in one area or another and every once in a while you come across a lemon in every one of them.What it comes down to is you buy what you like and claim it is the best, at least for you. By the way the 94 is a 300 polaris and the 2001 a 500ho. Why the ho, beats me when I feel the 400 is the best all around machine Polaris puts out. Maybe because there were only 500 ho's put out in the color I got.
You all have a good ride and most of all a safe ride.

I purchased a new Polaris ATP 330 last october. I have had several 4-wheelers over the years, but the ATP is the best ride I have ever had.

Win50 save your money and do not buy the glacier snow plow. I have a buddy who has sold polars atv's and acc. for a lot of years know. He said the glacier plow is junk. He sells polaris he should know. He told me to buy the cycle country plow it is twice the plow. Just figured I would let you know what a veteran polaris seller told me. If you like the plow by all means buy it. Hope you do not think I'm being rude just trying to be helpfull.

PS I have the 330 ATP and a cycle country plow that I purchased from my buddy. They are a great machines. You would not beleive the snow you can plow with the ATP.

Win50 I have leveled about 10 ton of gravel in my driveway with it also. I have plowed a bunch of snow with it this year. The mounting point is about half way back on the atv. The braket that the plow attaches too only hangs down about a inch. You should be able to go to Cycle Country's web site and check it out. What ever you decide ''do not'' go with the biggest blade available. the bigger blades work your atv to hard and with the smaller blade you can actually plow deeper snow, because your taking a smaller swipe. Hope I have helped you out.

I've got a 425 mag. that I really like, I bought it new in 1996 and had no problem with it. It's one snow plowing atv. Only thing I wish it had was a shaft drive instead of a chain.

Win50 the CC plow takes about 5 min. to hook up. You pull up to the plow, get off ATV reach underneath and raise the plow tubes to the frame(on the CC plow the push tubes and plow blade are attached together and do not seperate) brackets and push a quick connect pin thru. Then on the front there is a special strap that hooks the lifting cable to to your ATV. I think the Glacier plow is probally a little easier to install. The CC plow around here runs 400.00. If you do not want the manual lift arm it is a little cheaper. I personally like the manual lift arm and would not lift the plow with a winch (like some of my friends do) I can plow a driveway way faster than they can. Takes about a second to lift the plow with manual lift and 4 or 5 with the winch. Does not sound like much but when you driveway is 150 yards long and then L's another 30 yards it is quicker with the manual lift. The CC should clear your brush gaurd from what my Polaris buddy has told me.

Win50, if you do decide to go with a winch for lifting the plow here is how I hook up. After running up to the plow hook up the winch and lift the front of the plow some then hook up the back. This way if you are off center or or a little to fare ahead or back the plow will swing on the cable and fall into place.

Win50, you name it and you can do it. I've pushed large blocks of firewood into a pile rather than lift them in the bed. Leveled dirt in my back yard. The list is really endless if you put some thought to it. Snowplows are not just for snow anymore.
