P500 P500's a real pita in the cold

[trigger]

Pretty sure i start in 2 when its warm and im riding. Lately I've only been using it on the driveway and going slow to keep the snow where i want it. Usually dont go past L when pushing just to keep momentum but not lose traction by trying to go too fast and push too much at the same time.. Plus my driveway is pretty small so i need to use as much seat time as i can to play in the snow

Looks like I'll get to try my plow for the first time, forecast is calling for 4" to 8" by Monday morning. Looking forward to stacking snow, never could on the quad, couldn't raise the blade high enough.

66 is the way to go in my opinion. Not that anything is wrong with smaller, just glad i went bigger on this machine

I've plowed twice in the last 24 hours. Then tore up some trails tonight.

I cleaned up 4 driveways today with 4+" of snow on them. The 66" is the only way to go. I never had to put it in 4 wheel drive. I do wish reverse speed was faster.

I use a 60" KFI. No issues and I typically plow a lot more than 4" of snow.

Reverse is noticeably better on the '17. The auto. mode would be nice for plowing.

@FuzzyGrub, for the record, you were correct. I was able to shift right to 2 and go, so I guess I won't bother with L unless I really need to. I know it's for crawling...just one less downshift when already going slow, no what I'm sayin..

On one driveway (long and wide) I was pushing windrows that were taller than the plow with no problem. Of course this was pretty fluffy snow.

Plowed with the P5 for the first time last night. Had about 6" on the ground and it was still snowing pretty good. It didn't even break a sweat with a KFI 66" on the front.
Full windshield is on the list now. Face was getting blasted on certain runs and couldn't see sh**.
Wasn't as nimble as the quad but pushes a lot more snow. Thanks to this forum for the reverse lever mod, couldn't imagine having to pull that lever every time.
Found myself using L gear

to plow, just easier shifting, click click between forward and reverse.
