The 4 Essential Components of WARN ATV Plows

To make sure you get the ATV plow that will best suit your needs, make sure that each of the following four components is built to your standards.

1. ATV Plow Blade

Depending on the size, material, and design, plow blades can make all the difference in the efficiency of ATV plows.

WARN Cyclone Angled Plow Blade

WARN Cyclone Angled ATV Plow Blade

  • Angled blades have a tapered design and aggressively curved profile that allow the ATV plows to maneuver snow and/or dirt up and away from the area you are clearing.
  • Long-lasting 11 gauge steel is reinforced with extra heavy ribbing
  • Heavy-duty skid plates are made from 1/4" thick steel and a zinc finish.
  • Available in 54" and 60" widths
Standard Plow Blade

Standard ATV Plow Blade

  • 14 gauge low-alloy steel is incredibly strong, and the 3/16" outer blade ribs make it even more rigid
  • 16-3/16" blade height
  • NEW feature: Durable 1/4" thick steel skid plates with a zinc finish
  • Available in 48", 54", and 60" widths

2. Plow Base

A good plow base creates the foundation and stronghold for the ATV plow. If you skimp on the quality, the performance of the ATV plow will suffer.

3. ATV Plow Mounting Kit

Don't risk any wobbly, loosely connected pieces. The ATV plow mounting kit provides all the parts you need to securely fasten together your ATV plow.

  • Mounting plate remains attached to the ATV and becomes a structural component adding rigidity to the ATV during plowing operations.
  • Designed for quick plow installation or removal.
  • Placement is forward of the foot pegs to avoid any reduction of ground clearance or operating interference.

4. ATV Blade Raising Mechanism

You can either use an actuator, a manual lift, or a winch to get the ground clearance you need for the ATV plow to operate at maximum efficiency.

ATV Plow, Electric Actuator

ATV Plow Electric Actuator

  • Allows ATV plows to lift without manual exertion
  • Lets the winch stick to winching
  • A high pulling capacity that will lift even the heaviest ATV plow blade
  • Power switch is handlebar mounted and all-weather approved
