    Big Red plow video

    This is a link to a video of my Big Red plowing snow with the plow I made. Not very long or very good quality, but maybe if I can get my hands on a better camera I'll shoot another.

    That thing looked like it worked pretty good how's the steering response can you still turn.

    A few years ago about 1 km form my house there were atleast 6 bigreds with plows. It was actually very common to them untill now, since everyone bought quads.

    Not bad. With the plow down I can steer pretty well, other than sometimes when the plow is on an angle it wants to push the front end to the side a bit with a heavy load of snow. With the plow up, as long as I keep the plow low so there is a lot of slack in the winch cable, it steers fine. A bit of effort is required for really tight turns.

    The front tire grips really well, it is a Mudlite, and I have it turned backwards so the V is "collecting" rather than cleaning. It steers a lot better that way and wants to float more.
