8 Tips For Plowing Snow With Your ATV

ATV snow plow plowing snow with ATV plowing snow with UTV snow plow tips snow plowing tips UTV snow plow

Instead of retiring your ATV for the winter season, consider using that summer toy as a winter workhorse! ATVs can be a simple and efficient way to plow snow from your driveway or other surfaces.

If you have never used an ATV to remove snow, be sure to follow these 8 tips for a smoother and safer plowing process.

1. Make Sure The ATV Has Enough Power

Check the manufacturer's specifications and make sure that the ATV you are using is powerful enough to attach a plow on and remove snow. If you overload your ATV, the best case scenario is that you will have trouble plowing through the snow. Worst case: you can damage your ATV and cause bodily injury. Never overload your ATV!

2. Do All Of The Proper Maintenance Before The First Flake

Working on any vehicle in frigid temperatures is never ideal. Make sure your ATV is tuned up and in good running condition while it’s still (relatively) nice out. Change the oil, check tire pressure and thread, check electrical wiring, and ensure all elements are debris-free and working properly. Review “ 9 Ways to Keep Your ATV or UTV in Peak Condition ” for more detailed tips.

3. Make Sure The Depth Of The Plow Is Adjusted Correctly For The Job

The plow depth needs to be set at the perfect spot where it clears the snow without overloading the ATV and so that it does not damage the surface underneath. You may have to change the plow depth when you are plowing on different surfaces and with varying depths of snow.

4. Determine The Best Angle For The Plow And Set The Angle As You See Fit

The proper angle of the plow depends on the driveway or surface that is being plowed. Consider how much snow is present and where you want the snow to end up. Getting the angle set right will make the snow plowing effort much easier and cleaner.

5. Avoid Especially Deep Or Heavy Snow Drifts

Plowing through snow that is too deep or heavy will overload the ATV and cause more wear and tear on the vehicle. Deep snow drifts may need to be plowed at an angle taking a little of the snow at a time, and going back over the area a few times.

6. Be Cautious Of Items Hidden Underneath The Snow

Landscaping features, curbs and kids toys are known to hide underneath snow, damaging the plow and making the plowing process unsafe. For those static items like landscaping features, considering adding poles or other labels to indicate where they are. To avoid other hidden items, put away any unnecessary items before snowfall to avoid them getting buried.

7. Plow With The Natural Contours Of The Surface

If you follow the natural slopes of the driveway or other surfaces you are plowing, you make the plowing and snow placement easier. You also avoid damaging the plow blade by hitting the ground in uneven areas.

8. Perform a Final Clean Up Before Storing the ATV

Clean all of the dirt and snow off your ATV and plow blade after snow plowing. If you don't remove the snow, ice and dirt clumps right away, they can freeze and get stuck to the plow or ATV. This will make it a more difficult process to plow the snow next time.

Using your ATV to plow snow can help make the chore more efficient and, dare we say, fun! Following these eight tips will help prevent damage to your vehicle, your property and yourself!

December 2018

Greetings to all game lovers, big and small! New Year is coming, which means we have nice gifts for you. These include a collection of Christmas games about Santa Claus, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. We hope everyone will enjoy throwing snowballs and sleigh rides during the New Year holidays, which have always been a real vacation for children, but for adults have turned into a full-fledged vacation.

November 2017

Having noticed the sinking of the best flash games into the depths of the site, we decided to help you play old forgotten but popular ones through the display of a new panel. It is not available on all monitors, but only starting with a resolution of 1280px, so as not to distract owners of small screens on the current page. Depending on the genres of the current game, we show different collections, so they differ on different pages.

And also our old and attentive visitors have noticed changes in the main and additional menus. All this is aimed at improving the usability of the site by avid players. We try to make it better (although someone rightly notes here - remove ads and it will be fine) - we answer this something like this: everyone wants to eat and in order to keep all content free for use, put yourself AdBlock and there will be no problems. This is a standard plug-in that cuts out ads inside games and on the pages of gaming sites.

June 2017

As expected, cool and top games were not always pushed to the top. After disassembling and reassembling everything, our team found a way to slip the coolest flash drives upstairs. I hope you will appreciate the ratings that are built with your active participation and the resulting content will give odds to competitors :)

Dear friends. We decided to make a new sorting for game search, it's called Sticky. We find and display the toys that you most often stick to. Turned on - and let's play non-stop. Because everyone considers popularity, novelty - this and that, then we decided to please you with one more filter, according to which games that take a lot of time will be found. Be careful, because starting to play them you can miss such a great weather on the street :).

Given the fact that the flash plugin was blocked by chrome and other browsers, we firstly disabled ads before loading the game (it was a flash movie), and secondly, we decided to add more HTML5. HTML5 is universal and works regardless of the platform on which you open it (PC, Mac, Android smartphone, iPhone, iPad, etc.) support for this plugin will also become limited soon (google said) and unity3d games often hang your browser, which leads to the fact that you leave our beautiful site for other places :)

February 2017

In February 2017, the algorithm for counting thematic and popular games (based on which listings are built in sections) was updated. We decided to calculate the popularity of each game not by the number of its views, but by its duration - this allowed us to identify really popular flash drives on which you hang out for a long time.
What concerns games in the theme - then we had to combine several mathematical models to display really thematic flash drives. Those. if earlier under each game you saw mostly top ones (and they were often the same everywhere), now they are shown more diversely and correctly (in our opinion).

January 2017

Since January 2017, a new menu with a large number of heroes has been added to the site. To some, this option of a sliding menu may seem inconvenient, but I assure you that this is a matter of habit. With a large menu, it has become more convenient to poke at a game genre. And we tried to sort the genres as close as possible to the preferences of our visitors. Added new sections - minecraft and transformers, I don't know why they are so wildly popular :)

July 2016

Since July 2016, we have added the ability to play iframe downloads (found on developer sites) in a separate window. This will allow, firstly, to increase the size in the visible part of the screen, and secondly, the absence of advertising and other garbage. Often, a flash drive opened in a separate window works faster than one loaded in a standard page (due to the lack of advertising and other page elements).

If you are looking for a site that contains the best and most interesting flash games for adults and children, then you have found it, because on Game01 you can play anything you want!

Are you tired of sitting in the city and want to have some fun and take a break from the bustle of the city? Thirst for adventure beckons you, do you lack excitement and adrenaline? Then we offer you exciting rides on cross-country ATVs in St. Petersburg, regardless of the time of year! We organize walks in hot summer weather through the forests, where you can hide in the shade of trees, in winter through endless snow-covered fields, when snow from under the wheels scatters away from fast driving! You do not need to worry about anything, our instructors will take care of everything and will be your personal assistants on the trip.

Tracks of any complexity

ATVs are an active, sometimes extreme recreation. For skiing, we offer a choice of several trails, which differ in the degree of difficulty. If you have never driven this motorcycle, then the Beginner route is suitable for you. Ride on a flat, hard surface on which you can hone the necessary control skills. This ATV track in St. Petersburg has no big obstacles, holes, sharp turns. There is only hard surface under the wheels of the ATV. At your request, the instructor can take you through a small area of ​​the adjacent forest, a field road. If you have never driven an ATV, then this route is worth starting with. Thanks to slow speed and more careful driving, you will enjoy the surrounding scenery in summer and winter. We specifically built our routes so that customers get more driving pleasure.

Are you an experienced driver, but can't call yourself a professional yet? Then go to the "Classic" route. The track passes through vast fields where you can accelerate and get high from the high speed and the wind of freedom ringing in your ears! The road will smoothly take you to the wild forest, where you have to slow down. Driving at low speed will help you appreciate the surrounding beauty of the trees that have stood here for several centuries. Enjoy the birds singing and the rustling of leaves. If you ride in winter, then the snow-covered bare forest will enchant you! Show how you control vehicles, overcoming hills, elevations and potholes!

Do you like extreme sports and consider yourself a professional? We have prepared an Extreme Adventure route for you. Within two hours you will have to show your driving skills. A few minutes after the start, you will cut through the sandy road, jumping on the dunes and hills that you meet along the way. The train from the wheels on the sand will remind you for a long time that you passed here. After the sandy section, a treacherous forest road awaits you. A narrow track with waiting pits and logs, drifts, will make you sweat a lot and show endurance. At the end of the route, a wide field awaits you, where you can accelerate the quad bike at full speed and surrender to your emotions!
