Just wondering if anyone has rigged-up a snow plow for their ATC? My wife wants me to persure this cazy idea so I had to ask. Is it possible?

I dont see why not. As a matter of fact. I seen a guy on ebay selling a set of tire chains for 22x11x8 tires cheap. What kind of a trike do you have?.
you could probaly mount it up to the bottem of the forks then put a winch on the front to lift it up or put it down and put spikes on your front tire for traction.that would be sweet for clearin trails if it was strong enough but it would put a lot of stress on the steering stem. probably be better to mount it to the frame with some bars going from the frame to the plow blade.

p.s. anything is possible if ya got enough money.

I saw one on a Big Red i was young so i am not sure which model it was probly the 250es but the rig had chain tires and a manual plow. I think the plow mounted to the pegs and was on some type of hinge with a big lever use to raise and lower the plow. Not sure how it worked on moving the angle of the blade. I am pretty sure it was not a home made rig so someone some where has one. Accually i might know someone that has one i will look into it it is accually for a big red so tell me if you have a big red or what.:)

I've got two 110's. One '83 and one '84. I bought them for dinkin' around, you know strickly for fun. Then my wife finds out these things can be used for actual work, what is she thinkin'!
Anyway these are 110's so I'd only be able to use them for light snow, not the deep heavy stuff. Yeah, I'd think it should mount to the frame. I was thinking a few bars from the frame to the plow, which I'd make out of 3/4" green treated ply-wood and keep it narrow, about three feet, and at a permenant angle. I'm not sure how or where I'd mount the lifting/lowering bar, maybe to the handle bars somehow? Although, I'd hate to have that lifting/lowing bar break loose when ramming some ice-packed snow and have it shoot up and wack me in the face!

ive seen it done but a Quad works far better than a trike for that type of stuff (thats about all though!).
