bratman18 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I did it with my BRAT. Worked great, pushed snow pretty easy, even my whole road after 14" of wet stuff. I have a friend with a first Gen Legacy wagon with 6" of lift, Outback tranny and diff for the lower gears, swampers and a plow. That thing pushes snow nice!

smackvt Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 how did it stand up to the heavy task of snow moving? It handled it good for 2 years with the frame hooked to just the bumper and the two toe hooks ...........[/img] then it needed up grading ,after i did the outback inch lift,I thought i would do some off roading whith the front rese hitch in and caught it in some dirt bank and bent the nose of the car real bad [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I wouldnt do this to a car personally. Plowing snow is very hard work on a truck, let alone a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I wouldnt do this to a car personally. Plowing snow is very hard work on a truck, let alone a car. It 99% depends on how much of an idiot you are while plowing. Don't ram into snow banks, use low gear and put along. allow the trip edge to do it's job. I see so many people plowing at high speed, and they wonder why they bend their frame on the 1 ton HD pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I need to post some pics of the roads I plow. 2 miles of roads, climbing 1400ft in elevation. I would destroy that car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you aren't plowing anything with a lot of bumps/hangs for the plow to catch on. It's just like anything. If you're an idiot, you'll break it. If you have half a brain, you'll be fine.

TommyH Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Here is our Plow Car It has worked well for 2 winters =) Only weak link seems to be the puny Atv winch that lifts the blade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackvt Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 yes i love it what is that 360 ? 4wd? push snow good ? keep your eyes pealed for a used wheelchair lift that would get rid of your winch blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyH Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's a 4wd 1,2 Liter Sumo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Sumo) . No problem with 12" of fresh snow. And its nimble as hell. That wheelchair lift sounds good but adds too much weight to front axle. I'm just going to get better winch to replace that old chinese no-brand thing.

spazomatic Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Meyer makes (or at least they used to make?) a model E-46 that should be relatively easy and cheap to find. it's a simple electric/hydraulic unit. they're reliable, don't weigh a lot, and wiring one up is a piece o'cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
