Plow for Hisun 500

[Midnite]

Any one using a plow on the Hisun 500, and if so which one and what mounting bracket are you using.

I use this: https://www.motoalliance.com/denali-utv-snow-plow-kit-standard-series.  I had to modify the mount just a little, but I can't remember what I had to do.  Nothing major.  I did call the company and tell them and they were glad to know the difference. Do yourself a favor and run the cable out to the plow and then up to the bumper. I cut some plastic from the grill and ran a strap through it and connected the winch to the strap.  Much easier on the winch.  The plow is heavy but works great.

Perfect, thx I will check them out. Every plow company I email about a plow says they have nothing for the Hisun. Are you able to show me a picture of the winch modification?

I've  disconnected it for now but I used a snatch block attached to the plow and then ran it up to the strap around the bumper.  I tried it straight to the plow but it seemed to be harder on the winch, which quit working after awhile.  It would spin but not real in or out.  I replaced it with a tractor supply winch, exact mount up.  Anyway, the plow raises easier with the extra pulley.  It really amounts to the same thing as running the cable to a tree and back to the machine for easier pulling.  I used a strap from a tree stand harness. You don't need anything special, just something sturdy enough  to lift the plow.

I just reread your post and see I didn't really answer the mount question.  The plow mount needed a different hole or something pretty easy.  I actually found it easier to remove the bumper. They may have changed the mount by now.

Ok, thanks I will look into this as an option. Is the snatch block attached to lower part of the plow or the upper.  Sorry having a hard time picturing this.

[Robert Scott]

Snatch block is attached where you would normally attach. I used a clevis attached to the snatch block so it pulls straight and level with the winch. Wish I could show you a pic but am laid up with foot surgery.

No problem, I wouldn't be getting to it for a bit anyways.  If I go that route. How do you find the build quality of the blade, would it stand up to a little bit of snowbank impact?  There are some mixed reviews on it. 

Thanks again.

It's a whole lot heavier than I expected. I raised my front shocks to the stiffest position but will put them back now. I can't imagine the UPS driver was very happy having to unload it.

Ok, so should stand up to a little abuse then. Thanks.
