182385182386182387182388182389182390182391182392 This is how i built mine ,i built a frame to bolt to the red at motor mount and foot peg, and then built a frame for the plow that attaches with two bolts, so i can attatach and detatch in less than 5 min. with 2 bolts and 2 wire connections. the frame that is bolted to the red can stay on all the time and not be in your road while riding during the winter, come summer time you can take it of if you want with 4 bolts in about 15 mins. the actuators work great and it makes it a blast when it snows...:beer

I LOVE IT!!, i wish i had the actuator's for the plow i have for my quad, did the actuator's cost ya a bundle? looks like a damn nice setup man

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

THANKS... no they were like 120.00 and will lift 225 pounds

[bigdaddyvw185]

thats not too bad at all, have ya run into any traction issues? or has it not seen the first plow action yet?. my 200s is not all that good in the snow but im also running trailpro lol. the tires you have would perform 100X better in the snow

[effort=results]

holy crap man that it awesome!:w00t::w00t: awesome job. any vids of you using it would be awesome.

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

no trackshion problems yet but I have a few 50 lb sand bags for the rear rack if need be, also it has enough down pressure to lift front wheel.....THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE COMMENTS...I have used it and it works great I will post video the next snow

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

we need snow!!!!

[bigdaddyvw185]

please do post up some video's, get a video working the plow up and down / left and right along with the actual plowing lol. thats a badass setup lol. i really like it. where did you buy the actuator kits? i am wondering if i can setup something for my plow for my quad. winch picks it up and down but id love some left / right action from the actuator lol. :D

the northeast just got hit pretty good with snow, i was digging out all of my neighbors this morning lol, woulda been the perfect time to use the trike plow!.

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

we only got a sciff of snow not enough to plow, so as soon as we get the white stuff will post the vidio

[just ben]

I used to have an endless supply of actuators like those (from the old satellite dishes) and always thought about using one to angle the plow on my quad but never did get around to it. It looks like it worked out nicely nice job.

[CRAZY70MAN]

Badarss Jay!!! Those will save your arms over that winch................I am still workin' on my swivel for mine. That is a really great idea you have implemented there buddy!! Do the actuators move fairly quick or are they slow????

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

thanks buddy they are kinda slow 12mm/s but I am in the prosess of fabbing up another one,BIGGER PLOW AND FASTER ACTUATORS, im going to start on it over Christmas break since I got 2 weeks off I found some 30mm/s actuators and still looking for faster ones...I figure I will sell this one after the first of the year when I get the new bigger and faster one done

[wisconsinite]

Very slick setup, good idea tying the lift to the rear rack! But please, get a boot for your driveshaft, or at least wrap it up good with duct tape:lol:

[King Trikester]

Sweet setup where do you find the actuators and what did you use for a plow?

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

the old boot got a hole in it so I had to order one it is on the bench I just have to put it on no worries...good eye,lol

Lol, figured it must be on the to do list, that bike looks pretty well maintained.

[CI250SX]

Very nice. You above and beyond what most look like. I had built one for my SX a couple years ago and it works great for me.

I also have a suggestion for you on the weight. I took another set of SX rims and put some cheaper more aggressive tires on but first I put tubes in the tires and filled the tires with windshield washer fluid as it won't freeze and gives you a lower center of gravity for pushing. Plus it doesn't weigh down the back of the trike to make it harder to turn.

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

thank you....and I do use winsheild washer fluid but I really like the way these bite and dig...but if I have issues I have other tires and washer fluid.....I am a ferm belever in washer fluid

[big specht]

We use used antifreeze in the front tire of the pulling bikes or calcium EATHER way make sure you put it in a tube or it will kill the rims

[BIG DADDY TRI Z]

remember shrek; these tires don't even need air:naughty:

[big specht]

Hell I think you should of used a vacuum on them, then put the caps back on they might flex then lol

[Scootertrash]

Awesome job on the plow! I like the actuators, pretty cool. You should post a vid of the plow in action.

[Canyon Man]

Awesome job. Now I have a new project to consider.

[MotorCity]
