Posted by David from Edinboro, Pennsylvania

December 13, 2007
I live in the snow belt of Northwest Pennsylvania south of
Lake Erie. Over 300 inches per year of lake effect snow
is common. Coming from an area receiving little snowfall,
I was not ready for the lake event snow season. With an
overnight total of 30 inches, looking down a 100 ft drive
and armed with a shovel... I was in trouble. Being a
resourceful person I decided to build my own "snow plow"
from a scrap piece of plywood bolted to the bumper
of my pickup. The first pass out of the garage and
down the drive produced a huge mountain of snow
in the middle of the road at the end of my driveway
and broken pieces of what was left of my so-called plow. My
wife suggested I start shoveling to clear the now blocked road. Needless to say,
bad idea! Lucky for me I owned a Polaris Sportsman 500HO and had a
WARN dealer only a few miles away. I figured at this point why not turn a bad
problem into a new "toy" for my ATV. The WARN dealer happened to have the
WARN Cyclone plow system for my ATV in stock. He was even nice enough to deliver
it to my house (being that access out of my driveway was limited). The installation was
even easier than my wood plow and I was back in business in no time. I could not
believe how easily the WARN Cyclone cut down the pile of snow blocking the road
and how fast and smooth it cleared my 100 foot driveway of 30 inches of snow. I
must say it was also a lot of fun. I mentioned the plow was a new toy, well let
me say it may be a lot of fun to operate, but the WARN Cyclone is no toy. It is a
really powerful plowing system that has proven itself against the worst Lake Erie
can deliver.

We had about 22 inches of snow fall in about a 24 hour period! That was the biggest test I
had encountered for my winch and plow. Everything worked great. The winch/plow
combo saved the day!

My buddies and I recently were preparing to leave for Daytona Beach Bike week
with our 3 bikes. On the night before our trip we received 10 inches of heavy, wet
snow. Without a plow we were hopeless, but when I came through with a WARN
winch on my plow and a 1,300 foot driveway, I saved the day! Way to go WARN!

I use my WARN winch on my Polaris ATV. I have used it every winter here in Iowa for the
past 5 years and I haven't had one ounce of trouble. Great Product!

I own a repair shop and I use only WARN products. I have pushed 13" easily. The
street plows made a 5 ft. pile in my shop's driveway. I raised the plow on my Brute Force 750 and plowed through. Then I lowered the blade and hit it 1 more time. My customer
used a x-brand plow on 12" of snow and bent it. I told him to buy a WARN, you get what
you pay for!

With all the snow we had this year it paid for the ATV and Plow and most important I
can still walk! I have a bad back and the plow was a lifesaver! I would be a crippled
without it, no lie. I cannot say enough about my WARN plow and lift. Thanks! |

After 15 snow storms this winter, the plows have really been getting a work-out. Richard
usually does one run out and back so he can get to work, then I take over to get ourselves
and our neighbors plowed out. This is our third winter doing this full time, and the
power-pivot would sure help to cut down on plowing time (and also my back). |

I purchased a John Deere compact tractor in the Spring of 2007. I traded in a
garden tractor with many attachments. I left myself without a practical way of clearing
snow (the new bucket on the tractor is not practical for snow). So I bought a 60" WARN
ATV plow and modified it to mount quickly to the front loader frame. It works better than
I could have hoped and is much less weight hanging off the front than anything else I
could have come up with. I am very impressed with the way the WARN plow has held
up with power of the diesel tractor behind it.

I plow snow at the farm and spread gravel on the driveway and spread dirt for the
garden at my mom's and my grandma's.

I use my snowplow for anything from grading dirt/gravel in the summer to plowing
upwards of 5 driveways every time it snows all winter long. It is the handiest thing I
own on the farm. Plowing with an ATV is more reliable and much more maneuverable
than any truck plow I have ever had. I can't think what I would do without one! Ed

One day I came home from work and got stuck in my 650 foot driveway in 8 inches of
snow. I changed my clothes to go and shovel my car out of the snow. I looked
outside and saw my 2 neighbors on their ATV's plowing my driveway. It only took
them 10 minutes! I said to myself "I want one!" Almost six months later I bought a
Honda ATV and now I purchased a plow and winch. I'm installing it as we speak. Boy
would it be nice not to get off the ATV to pivot the plow blade. Thank you. Tim

As the snow still fell and there were two and a half feet on the ground I was still able to
clean the four driveways that I clean with my WARN plow and WARN winch to lift
the plow and to get out of the massive snow drifts. My WARN plow has been able to keep my
driveways clean under any amount of snow we have gotten.
