P1000 Tough Country Bumper + Snow plow

[BrotherNov]

Has anyone mounted a snow plow to a 1000 after installing a Tough Country bumper? I'm wondering if either the bumper or the unusual winch placement present any problems.

I don't have the tough country but have my winch in a similar location. I think it help pull the plow way up without stressing as much.

That front receiver tube is definitely in the way, looking at their online pic.
I wonder if they make an attachment with a pully to go in it.
Or, I suppose you could make your own.
That would make it perfect.

A guy could use the receiver and fab some sort of pulley setup. Just an idea.

Patents are only good for 20 years. And that one is for specific lengths and diameters. Unless he renewed it.

Just sayin…
