It would be nice to see a plow system that would just pin/mount on the new D-Rings.
ooooooooooo
One of the problems in fitting plows is height from the ground. Should not be more or less than 9 to10 in. Removing the bumper was the only easy way to mount the plow , I just bought a 2” trailer hitch receiver ( Reese ) then welded 2 steel plates to the receiver ends. Easy and good, besides Rox looks better with bumper gone.
Just a side note, it’s been in the teens and twenties here , also lots of wind. I have my new heater blowing warm air from all three outlets , but without doors does not help much. What does work is my new Canadian Goose expedition parka. ( Always wanted one but at 1,000 bucks ! ) it’s amazing how well these coats keep you warm, and they are very light. I think if I had side half doors the heater would work better.
There with ya in the 75. Top but no doors or sides or back. I'm a weirdo though, I wear shorts in this weather lol. Flip side of that is I can't handle > 80 degree heat.
You sound like. A Yooper ...lol
Yep, I asked about that when I saw the picture without it and was told it can go back on. I might just leave mine off when I put the mount on and put the bumper back on when I take the mount off in spring. I have D-rings ordered also, not sure how it will all bolt up. I'm fine with just the mount on for winter. It's main purpose is to keep the road open to the shack and just to get there with the dogs.
I pick mine up next Friday in Regina, but it will be red & black and say Western on it. Hopefully my mount comes in by then, but it's not like we have snow in the forecast.
Snow plow???

I agree on plowing with Jeeps.......I thought they might be too small or light., these new light wt plows make a huge difference........everything seems to revolve around weight these days. I had an easy time plowing Sat. , theRox is better than I thought it would be.

Made my own mount using the Polaris Ranger one supplied with my plow and some 4” channel. I’ll make it look factory in the summertime. Tomorrow I’ll wire it up and install the rubber deflector and plow shoes.

I wired it up today, my mount is a little low in V mode there’s only an inch of clearance on the ends. I was planning on leveling the front anyway and getting bigger tires so I’ll leave it alone.

Looks good and you can even use the factory bumper.

There's just something about a brand new yellow fisher that I have a soft spot for.

Yeah I hear ya. Looks like all the plows are identical anyways. I wonder who actually makes them?

Has anyone gotten a straight blade? If you have, how much did they run ya?
Yeah, I guess western, fisher, snowex and a bunch of other companies are all owned by a company called Douglas Dynamics. Funny enough their NYSE ticker ID is PLOW lol
