One of the most common questions we get asked is whether or not a plow will damage an ATV. The answer is: maybe. It all depends on how the plow is used and how well the ATV is maintained.
If used properly, a plow can actually prolong the life of an ATV by protecting it from wear and tear. However, if used improperly or if the ATV is not well-maintained, a plow can definitely cause damage.
Some of the ways a plow can damage an ATV include:
-Hitting rocks or other objects hidden beneath the snow. This can damage the blades, the frame, and even the engine.
-Not being properly attached. If a plow is not properly attached, it can come loose and cause damage to the ATV or anyone nearby.
-Putting too much strain on the ATV. A plow is a lot of weight to add to an ATV, and if the ATV is not meant to handle that much weight, it can cause damage to the frame, the engine, and the suspension.
If you're thinking about using a plow with your ATV, just be sure to use it properly and to keep your ATV in good condition. With a little care, you can avoid any damage and get the most out of your plow.
