UTV's and ATV's general discussion.

Curious if anyone that plows with orvs uses winch stoppers, if so do they work pretty good? soon to be training my stepson plowing with an atv, and don't really feel like fixing his learning curve, cuz I remember I broke a few winch cables being completely oblivious to what I was doing yrs ago.

I like and use them. Provides some cushion and keeps everything tight so it doesn't rattle. I use the $5 one piece ones from scamazon.

Here is a UTV plowing snow pics you guys might like. Most of these photos were taken live. (machine was moving)

Yes it was but its 700cc was over taxed. We (the city, who I worked for then) gave up on Yahaha after three of them.

I can only imagine with a plow like that and pods used on a somewhat daily basis up there everything on it must have been overtaxed.

Use the machines to do firewood form time to time

Plowing doesn't hardly takes any HP, but spinning pods in deep snow does.

This is what we use and will be staying with straps like this. I cut them in half. View attachment 838603

How do you attach the other end of the strap to your winch?

I clean the drum up and attach it with a little piece of duct tape. Maybe 3" long.
