I wonder how strong those are, I'd like to modify one to push rock. Do you have one of those Tim?

Not the same brand. They should push rock as long as you put downforce on the blade. I push dirt and rock with mine. Can level 2" rock and loose dirt. Can't really dig though.

Yeah, I'll just use it for inch minus. I'll rig up some down force or just add weight I guess.

Hey Tim, What size plow did you buy? I'm thinking 5ft is aweful big. How's your bike push that if that's what you have. I think i'm going to order one, I'm just struggling with the size. I read some more about them and 11 guage steel is pretty thick so I think that will be ok for durability, for the blade. The rest of it they don't really say, but i'll make it better if need be. I've never pushed snow or any thing else with any thing other than a tractor so I don't how an atv will react to a plow. I know how it reacts to mud though, LOL.

I have 52" and 54". I was worried about being able to push like you so went smaller. Wish I would of done 60-72" now that I do commercial and streets. But for sidewalks the 52" works great as it is 4' angled sideways. If your pushing a lot of dirt/rock i would do 52" as you won't overload and dig in as eaisly. If your moving a bunch of snow always go as big as you can. So there are pros and cons to both. Basically as long as the blade covers the tires with the blade angled it is a matter of preference and how much money you have to spend. Make sure to put downforce on whatever plow you get makes 100% difference. I make my own kit for them for about 10 bucks.
