When it snows here it sticks around maybe 20 hours and always 60 degrees by the next day.

But let's create a list of recomendations as plows are always a popular topic.

No, been over a pass in Montana on a solid sheet of ice and drove back to Arkansas in a snow storm from there, what I thought was funny was, the flashing warning signs telling you not to use cruse control, dugh! We have a little snow here, usually 3 to 4 inches, a few years ago we had a 24 incher, thats the year I learned to store my blade in the shop!

Is this the one you have in mind?
--> Tusk SubZero Snow Plow Kit, Winch Equipped UTV, 72

That is the plow I am currently running.
I grabbed it last year for $500 shipped. I have no complaints with the amount of snow it pushes or stacks.
I did remove the mount for the summer to install my skid plates.
The mount interfered with my KFI winch mount, I cut a few tabs off the plow mount. It is still held in place by 6 fasteners.
My synthetic rope did break a few times over the winter and left a bit of a groove in my fairlead. I ended up just cutting off the broken section of rope and tying off on the lift pin, I did that 3 or 4 times over the season, at the end of season, I re-tied the hook back into place. I plan to run it again this winter. At the end of season I will just swap on a new synthetic rope. I have a few spares.

I did buy a light duty 20' tow strap that I planned on cutting in half and threading onto the winch to save the rope. I will see what this season looks like.
