P500 Plowing w/the P5

[Eltobgi]

I couldn't get the iPhone video to upload, so you get a picture. 5 month old P500 with 60" KFI plow clearing a 110 foot driveway in Northern Utah. I don't push into the road, but do turn around in the road and push back into the ditch. So far the only problem has been the Warn wench strap stitching pulled apart at the hook pushing heavy wet snow. I tied the strap off and kept on plowing. Love the 60" plow set up on the p500. She replaced a 15 year old 27" Craftsman snow thrower. My snow removal time has been more than cut in half and the fun factor increased by over 100%.

Yeah that works nice. Do you have a locker. And now all your neighbors are going to expect you to do that all the time. Haha. Looks like a beautiful day.

I can lock the axle if that’s what you’re referring to. I usually don’t to minimize tire scrubbing on the pavers. I have not found it necessary in any paved uses. Let me know if your are referring to something else.

Sorry Reno, I thought it was a 500. My fault.

26" Maxxis Big Horn 2.0's. They're lighter than the original BH's. 3 yrs with mine and have never had a tire problem. I went with 9's in the front and 11's on the back.

My LW and I are tandem cyclists and we support bicycle races/benefit rides as SAG/Radio/First Aid. We had an aging amber safety light on her Subaru that I replaced two years ago with a mag mount low profile 27" LED light bar. I tried it on the back of the P5 and the mag mounts hold solid. The LEDs are super bright and folks slow way down going around me as I'm clearing the mailbox and end of our driveway. I put a strip of black electrical tape over the LEDs on the cab side. Easy to put on and take off. Plugs into the cig lighter. Got it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078HY4XB8/?tag=sxsweb24-20

They actually have almost the same one at Princess Auto up here. I thought it would be great for plowing too. Great minds think alike. Or is it Fools seldom differ. Haha, cool.

I use the whips when out by the road, put them in a chasing pattern and you can't help but notice them.
