P500 For better winter comfort

[Yellowbeast]

Ok so I’m looking for some opinions. I live in central PA and I use my p5 to plow snow. But the last couple of winters I only had to plow three times. I plow my grandmother out if we get a deep snow and it’s to much for her small snowblower and since we only live minutes apart I just drive my p5 up the road. So when I drive up the road I tend to get salt and water that hits my face. So only being able to make one purchase should I buy a windshield or power steering to make plowing and riding easier?

Power steering cost 650 plus install unless you do yourself which is pretty easy. It will help you all year long everytime you drive it. It helps alot with kickback on your wrist when you hit logs , rocks or ruts. That is why I bought mine. Relly makes driving a pleasure.

The windshield blocks alot of wind and water. If your willing to take it off for summer and put it on only when cool a one piece w/s can be bought for 250, better yet find a piece of plexiglass discarded from a covid screen and try before you buy. Look on facebook marketplace and sometimes you can find a used w/s from people upgrading to nicer ones.

Power steering and full face helmet. Will keep the ears warmer. And might could make a temp windshield out of plexiglass and two honda ROPS cam lock clamps.

Just like Mudder said .

I had my p5 since 2016 and the power steering would be nice but I have made it this far without it lol. I was thinking of a windshield and wheel spacers. I can get them both for about $500. And this windshield is the one I want that way I can open up the vents in the summer. I use my p5 more around my house then I do trail rides so power steering is probably being put on hold for now.

My wife has weak hands and the power steering enables her to drive it.
