    Snow plows for 3-wheelers

    Looking out the window at the few inches of snow we got this morning, I got to thinking that once I get this 3-wheeler running right, it would be cool to be able to go out there and plow the driveway with it.

    I have a snowblower for the really deep snow, but it doesn't work well when there's only 3-4 inches of fluff.

    the 3-wheeler plows have been known to handle 2-3 feet of snow. so it should be ok for ya.

    All that and I never asked the question:

    Who makes/made snow plows for 3 wheelers? All I need is a few good pictures.

    Taken a couple of years ago. Home made plow on 86 Red.
    I found the hand controls worked faster than the winch.

    here's some pics of mine,

    84 Big Red with V Plow, Cycle country Push Tube frame and I fabbed up the CC V-plow to the frame.
    Works good up to 6" after that you'll need something else.

    I know my 84 will handle 12" easily. Not in one push, but it has the power and the ole' s dig in!! Need some better rear tires. Gonna get a Plowset and fill them with calcium or some type of ballast for winter plowing. Hope to score some chains as well. There are a few pics of mine, home made with a angle plow. Easy and works great, manual lift....kinda rough on arm after a while though?? I have some spring to assist in lift, just have not figured out completely yet.

    That's a slick setup! Can you tell me more about the plow and winch, where do I get one? Any idea if it will work with a 250sx?

    Thanks,
