It’s pretty hard to believe that fall is already here for some parts of the country. And soon, the winter snow will be flying. So now is the perfect time to explore your snow plowing options. But you may be wondering if you have the right vehicle. ATVs are super versatile with a plow, as are UTVs. But which is better equipped for the job? The answer will come down to your snow plowing conditions since ATVs and UTVs each have their unique strengths.
It’s known that UTVs generally come with more power and capability than a traditional ATV. So, you might assume that using a UTV for plowing snow is the better choice. And there are specific scenarios in which the UTV is the ideal vehicle for the job. Polaris suggests if you have a large driveway, wide walkways, or extensive paths to clear, UTV snow plowing is probably best.
Many sources suggest the key to effortless snow plowing depends on the weight and traction of the vehicle.
The heavier the ride, like with UTVs, the more traction you can harness. And the short answer might be, yes, UTV snow plowing can be better than ATV snow plowing for this reason alone.
ATVs may have a reputation for being the fun, adventure-seeking rides of summer.
But don’t assume they can’t cut the mustard when it comes to plowing snow. In fact, despite having less engine power than some UTVs, an ATV can be an absolute boss in the snow.
As Gearachu points out, a 400cc ATV can push snow like a champ. Narrower driveways and walkways can quickly be cleared of snow with the right ATV. ATV snow plowing is often popular among consumers because the average city sidewalk and driveway are smaller than those who usually live in more rural areas, with more ground to cover and snow to push.
Regardless of whether you opt for an ATV or UTV, you’ll want to equip your ride with the right tools. Can-Am points out a few areas to consider before buying yours, including four-wheel-drive capability.
It’s equally important that your ATV or UTV has ample torque, given the amount of snow you plan to be moving. Engine power matters, but the proper torque can get the job done in either variation. Maneuverability and reliability matter too. So, be sure to choose a model ATV or UTV that can handle the workload you plan to face.
If you have a large area to plow that may require a few hours, you’ll need a healthy horse attached to your plow to avoid breakdowns or mechanical failures. Don’t be afraid to go for comfort, as well, including features like heated grips or enclosures to keep warm.
There is always a wrong and a right way to plow snow, regardless of your chosen vehicle, to do so this winter. Cranking on the four-wheel drive and charging ahead isn’t going to be ideal. Instead, most ATV and UTV experts will tell you to be mindful of how you plow snow, including recognizing the snow conditions and adjusting accordingly.
Plow angles are essential to ensure you avoid ramming into the ground or hitting obstructions. And purchasing the right-sized plow for your ATV or UTV will ensure you harness the most power without overworking your vehicle when plowing.
When you’re ready to prep for winter snow, you can weigh your options between both ATVs and UTVs. Depending on the kind of snow plowing you anticipate, both can be viable choices for the job.
RELATED: What’s the Difference Between an ATV and a UTV?
To paraphrase the old adage, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad tires.
There's a reason they're called all-terrain vehicles, and there's good reason to call them all-season vehicles. Built for all types of terrain, from mud to sand and rocks, ATVs and ATVs also conquer whatever winter has to offer. With a little preparation, your Can-Am SUV can be a master at handling deep snow and harsh winter conditions, and even keep you warm on cold days off-road.
In this article, we'll remind you why your ATV or ATV is an indispensable tool for clearing snow and other tasks in the winter, as well as a super fun companion for relaxing in cold weather.
Whether it's weekend trips with the family, hunting with friends or hard work on the farm, your ATV or ATV will bring you a lot of fun and rewards. So why not use your SUV all year round and enjoy it just as much in the winter? Your technique overcomes all kinds of deep sand and mud, and snow is no exception. An SUV can be extremely useful in the winter for light snow removal in your driveway, and when the neighbors see what you're up to, you can even become the most popular person in your neighborhood.
Once the job is done, it quickly turns into fun as the snow-covered trails can turn your days into unforgettable adventures. The main thing is to prepare your car well and have the right equipment to help you enjoy the winter. Think about the extra time you can spend on your favorite ATV or ATV instead of letting it go dormant in your garage.
Shoveling snow is not everyone's favorite pastime. But when you use the right tools, this job will certainly become much easier. It's also no secret that in the off-road world, she can actually be fun. We don't promise anything, but you can get neighbors to knock on your door, give you gifts, or promise favors in exchange for helping you clear the snow.
Connecting the plow to an ATV or ATV will help clear a large amount of snow much faster and easier than other methods, and the maneuverability of these vehicles allows them to get into hard-to-reach places where large snowblowers cannot go.
With amazing traction and plenty of power, clearing even the deepest snow is a breeze. In fact, many people living in areas with harsher winters buy this technique specifically for this purpose.
Let's take a look at some of the specifications and accessories that will make it easier for you to clear snow on your SUV.
This is perhaps the most important feature. Clearly, snow and ice are slippery and affect traction, making maneuvering difficult. There is nothing more frustrating than wheel spin in sticky snow from half a meter high due to traction problems, but with all-wheel drive this is not a problem. In fact, the deeper the snow where you live, the more important all-wheel drive is, which is a game-changer in the winter.
If you're going to clear a lot of snow, an ATV or ATV with plenty of torque is a must. As a general rule, the more power the engine has, the better, but that doesn't mean that a smaller, less powerful engine can't do the job.
In fact, they can clear large volumes of snow, but it will take longer and they only need a few passes to get you a clean surface.
It's cold outside, so snow removal often involves pulling on all sorts of jackets, boots, gloves, etc. But what if you make it a little hotter? There are many options for off-road equipment for cold weather operation, such as a heated enclosed cab with a windshield anti-frost system like the Can-Am Traxter PRO ATV, and some ATVs have heated handlebars to keep your hands warm. Sounds comfortable?
The snow is heavy and clearing it can be a challenge for the machine. Many off-road vehicles have an increased risk of failure during extended snow removal, so you should consider utility models that can actually handle hours of snow removal without giving up. Luckily, Can-Am SUVs are engineered to perform, made from the finest materials, and proven to take on any challenge. People all over the world rely on them in tough everyday work situations.
If your ATV or ATV has these four features, you'll be ready to handle winter and clear snow with no problems!
So now that you know what to look for in a hard-working snow blower, let's look at how you should prepare for snow removal.
No one wants to repair their equipment in howling wind and snow. Before you go outside or before the temperature drops, make sure your SUV is winterized and in optimal operating condition. Change the oil, check the wiring, and make sure all components in the ATV or ATV are clean and working properly. Double check tire pressure and tread condition for excessive wear. If your machine has a liquid-cooled engine, it is very important to check the coolant level, as snow removal requires a lot of effort from the engine and can cause it to heat up quickly.
It is very important to set the plow deep enough to clear the snow, but high enough not to scrape the surface under the snow. Scratching can not only damage paved surfaces, but also creates more work for your SUV, which invariably results in overloading it. The harvesting depth can be different for different surfaces and different depths of snow cover, so you should adjust the angle of the plow blade every time before harvesting.
The correct blade angle depends on the type of roadway, the surface being cleared, and where you want the snow to collect. The correct angle of inclination means fewer passes, it will make cleaning easier and the surface cleaner.
After clearing snow, it is important to remove all dirt and snow from the ATV or ATV and plow blade. If lumps of snow, ice and dirt are not removed while they are fresh, they may freeze and harden. A clean plow blade releases snow more easily and is essential for good performance. Not to mention the salt, which can very quickly damage plow and vehicle surfaces. Prevent corrosion and clean the plow and equipment after each use.
Remember that snow removal is a lot of work not only for you, but also for your car. This can be one of the toughest tasks you put on your ATV or ATV, and preparing it and then clearing it of snow will minimize the impact and extend the life of your vehicle.
It's time to stop thinking of your ATV or ATV as just a fun machine for fine weather.
Winter provides a variety of recreational opportunities when you have an SUV ready for the cold weather challenge. In addition to making riding on snow feel light and joyful, snow makes everything new and fresh - even those old trails you've ridden countless times. Winter is also a great opportunity to improve your off-road driving skills in slipperier conditions that are perfect for learning to drift, move on loose surfaces and more. Winter offers a unique cross-country skiing experience not to be missed, and if you do it safely, it can provide some unforgettable moments.
But you need to winterize your ATV or ATV, and in some areas it may be a problem if your ATV is not equipped with the right equipment. The track system for your SUV is a major upgrade that essentially transforms it into a whole new kind of vehicle and provides the traction and buoyancy your vehicle needs.
As we saw above, your ATV or ATV is likely already well equipped for winter use, and some upgrades can make it even better and more comfortable during the colder months.
But there are SUVs already born with features that make them winter-ready, like the Can-Am Outlander North Edition, which comes with a windshield, heated grips and visor heater connector, a factory-installed winch, and an ultra-low gear that fits perfectly. for snow removal.
Before heading out into the cold, it goes without saying that you need to put on warm clothes and protective equipment, but what else do you need to do to prepare your SUV for winter driving? In addition to regular maintenance, the following should be considered:
Moisture in the fuel tank or fuel lines is bad news for your machine. This is a common problem in cold weather as temperature fluctuations can cause water to form in the fuel tank in the form of condensation. The engine will not be able to start due to water or moisture in the fuel, and water may freeze in the fuel lines and block fuel from entering the engine, causing the engine to run hard or not start at all.
A fuel stabilizer will prevent this problem by keeping the gasoline fresh and keeping the engine running smoothly.
Fresh spark plugs keep the engine running smoothly at idle and revive cold engines in winter. While you don't need to change them every year, winter can be the right time, especially since you don't want surprises when temperatures drop.
After a few months of dusty summer driving, the air filter becomes clogged with debris - this is normal. When the snow on the trail rises into the air and is sucked into the engine, it turns into water, and water plus dust equals, you guessed it, mud. A clogged filter will choke your engine by cutting off the airflow it needs to run smoothly. Before the start of winter, a quick purge of the filter will save you a headache in the future. As with spark plugs, winter can also be a good time to change your filter if you haven't done it in a while.
The oil keeps your SUV running smoothly, and jerky pulling away and a drop in power is usually a sign that the oil needs topping up or changing.
If you already change your oil regularly, if you check your oil level and change your oil filter regularly, then you're probably fine. Again, if you need an oil change reminder, make it part of your annual maintenance along with your spark plugs and air filter.
Now that your ATV or ATV is ready for the cold, remove the cover and get ready to ride.
Basic accessories for ATVs and ATVs in winter
Winter riding requires a little more gear and extra equipment than other seasons to keep you safe and warm while shoveling or trail riding. It is vital that you and your vehicle are protected in case something goes wrong, so proper preparation is the key to success.
Here are some essential accessories for you and your ATV or ATV to help you get the most out of your awesome winter rides.
As we said, a track kit can turn your ATV or ATV into a whole new type of vehicle. These kits replace your tires with a snowmobile-like track system for incredible performance in deep snow and rough terrain.
Under these conditions, they will outperform any tire and can make the impossible possible. Usually, when you are on wheels, you avoid snow deeper than your SUV's ground clearance, as burrowing will cause you to get stuck, while the tracks give you the ability to "float" through deeper snow and handle winter conditions with ease. The improved traction also makes hauling loads and clearing snow much easier, while the tracks can make it easier to transport on slippery roads, even on steep slopes.
Finding compatible track systems for your equipment can be tricky and installation can be challenging. But thankfully, Apache Track Kits, designed specifically for Can-Am SUVs, match the engine power, frame, and speedometer on your model, and work with the power steering system for perfect handling. Learn more about Apache Tracks for Can-Am ATVs and ATVs.
If you want to use your SUV to clear snow, a plow is a must.
There are an endless number of options on the market, some of which are even equipped with a winch mechanism to raise the plow blade. It's important to take the time to find a compatible system, but Can-Am makes it easy with their ProMount plow system. It's the quickest and easiest way to start clearing snow and you'll be sure our plow is compatible with your vehicle. Learn more about Can-Am ATV and ATV ProMount plows.
Staying warm and comfortable is definitely one of the most important conditions for winter off-road riding. Choosing waterproof and windproof clothing is important, but there is equipment that can make your SUV a warm and cozy shelter from the cold. The cabin shell for your ATV is a great way to protect you and your passengers from the elements and allows you to spend whole days off-road even in the coldest months. Some Can-Am models, such as the Traxter Limited and Traxter PRO Limited, have a temperature control system that provides cab heating.
Other accessories can also be very useful if you want more comfort in cold weather. Some ATVs and ATVs have heated seats that can be your best friends on long, cold rides. If your hands are in need of love, Can-Am offers the option of installing a heated steering wheel on your ATV or heated grips on your ATV. These accessories are as amazing as they sound and you will thank yourself every time you turn them on.
They make your day go a long way, and most heated grips and seats are relatively easy to install, fit a variety of models, and come with a wiring harness, making installation a one-step process. If you are outside in cold temperatures, they will help keep your fingers mobile and make your ride safer and more comfortable.
If you've never experienced the thrill of winter off-road riding, the proper preparation and extra equipment can turn your summer trails into a winter wonderland and snow removal into a job you secretly enjoy.
There is a world of track kits, plows and accessories to turn your SUV into a versatile all-season machine. Perhaps you will leave their hibernation in the past.
Small dimensions . The width of ATVs is usually less than 130 cm, and the length is up to 250 cm. Due to the compactness, you can comfortably work in confined spaces, as well as choose fast paths that are inaccessible to large vehicles.
Another advantage of the small dimensions is that you need a minimum of space to store the ATV.
Low fuel consumption . The average 500 cc ATV consumes 11-15 liters per 100 km - when driving on country roads and light off-road.
Can be used for entertainment . On an ATV, you can go off-road or go on a picnic with your family.
A four-wheel drive ATV with a reduction gear is needed for chores. It is better to choose with an engine capacity of more than 400 cm³. It is desirable to have a power steering - it will allow you to get less tired from driving.
Globally, all ATVs are divided into 2 types. ATV - with motorcycle controls and landing, as well as SSV - with automotive. Let's analyze what their features are:
ATV
More affordable than SSV;
More manoeuvrable;
Less weight has a positive effect on flotation.
SSV
Comfortable;
Rollover protection with frame and seat belts;
Roof, doors and windshield prevent rain and dirt from entering the cabin, allow you to work in all weather conditions;
Load capacity and pulling capacity are higher than ATV.
ATV
SSV
Transporting goods . ATV trunks can usually load 60-100 kg, and utility SSVs in the back can carry up to 350-450 kg. If this is not enough, you can use a trailer.
Tillage . For ATVs there are plows, cultivators and harrows.
Cleaning . With the help of the blade, you can rake snow and large debris. For cleaning small debris such as leaves or sawdust, there are special brushes.
Grass cutting . ATV mowers allow you to mow grass, weeds, shrubs and small trees with a trunk thickness of up to 2-5 cm - depending on the model.
Loading . The bucket can load firewood, sand, soil or snow.
Spreading . The spreader allows you to distribute seeds as well as fertilizer or sand.
In addition to the above works, the ATV is perfect for hunting or fishing trips.
