P500 Front structure of P5 too weak for front plow mount?

[rocmar]

Thanks all. I went with a Cycle Country set up. Very heavily built mount kit. Now if I only had some snow here in Ohio to plow. Used one time this year.

Great choice on plow. .?.

As an added "safety" precaution for plow season, I've removed the hook from the winch cable and replaced it with a screw type closure tow chain link. That way the cable is fixed to the push tubes as opposed to the possibility of the hook becoming disconnected while plowing and getting caught on some other component that could be destroyed before one knows what even happened. Just a bit of FYI to prevent accidental and unexpected damage.

I noticed that Warn has a ProPivot system to tilt the plow blade for their ProVantage Plow systems, Has anyone tried to use this with the Push tube and mount system sold through Honda?
Also, while on the topic of plowing... anyone have experience with the fabric doors? Are they worth it?

I looked at the fabric doors but they have a lot of gaps and don't really seal. Would let all your heat out if you were going the whole nine yds.
I guess they might keep some wind off of you.
I'm thinking about a heated seat cushion. Just plug into the cig lighter...heats up quick. They have them where the elements go up the back too.
Won't be plowing in a t shirt but it'll be better than the quad.

Do you have a link to the seat heater?

Wagan is the name of the company. They make a bunch of different ones.
Haven't settled on which one I want yet. Amazon.

Not so sure a seat heater would be a good idea, as I'm sure they would draw too much power for the charging system to handle.
Using a winch, seat heater, defroster fan and headlights along with the cooling fan kicking on and the electric shift, the stator would not live long.

No defroster fan for me. Headlights are led. Can't draw more than 10 amps through the lighter plug.
My machine has never heated up to the point of concern and it'll be winter.
Guess I'll let you know if I burn it out.
