Re: Plow Help - Keeps kicking back!

Is the plow angle adjustable?
Is it leaning like this ==\\ like this ==|| or ==//.
Having it like this ==\\ will cause it to catch more.

Can you adjust the springs?
Tighten them up a bit until you are comfortable with the hit vs kickback.

Are you plowing pavement, cement, or gravel?
Do you have the shoes set correctly for what you are plowing?
Gravel you need them down more then if plowing hard.

I have a warn pro-vantage plow on my pioneer and haven't had an issue plowing the small amount of snow we received this year. Please give more details. Is the plow tipping forward when it hits something (as it should - adjustable spring locations) or is the blade coming up / back ( top of blade coming up toward the pioneer)? If the blade is tipping back / up, you'll want to look at the blade spring tension adjustment and possibly the routing methods for winch cable / strap to the plow. Are you looping through the cable through the pulley and back up to the strap around the front bumper ? When lifting the plow up to stack snow, I have had the top of the blade come back and hit the top of the front bumper and front of machine. I adjusted the strap to make sure the plow doesn't lift so high to allow for the blade coming back when pilling snow. Warn has come out with a new limit kit for the pro-vantage UTV plows that creates both an electrical and mechanical travel limit stops on the plow.

Tipping forward very easy. The springs are a pain. I am using the red strap and the 2 d rings. that go on the bumper...

Then bad news... U need to thighten them up. Good luck.

 

[sxs2015]

Is this right??

 

[Hondasxs]

Did you adjust anything yet from before? Adjust it to forward angle and high tension see how that works.

 

[sxs2015]

This is before. The springs are maxed out. The angle square things are all the way. Still does it....

Idk then... I don't have a lot of experience with a plow to know any tricks. I have heard about people adding a helper spring.

Looks like you have the springs in the lightest setting. You need to remove the bottom bolts that are on the bottom spring brackets and pivot them forward down to the next hole thus putting more spring pressure on them. It looks to me there are three holes.
