Hey....we have some first pictures of our UTV plow and the description on the website. Preorder sale lasts for a few more days. We'll keep adding pictures as we get the Motoalliance sticker for the front, the quick release system, etc.

66" blade is about 12 weeks out, so we may not do it for this year. But the 72" blade is going to be nice.....

Go to Moto Alliance - VIPER Winches & ATV / UTV Mount Plates and Accessories.

Thanks!

Dang you with the 66". I may have to step up to the 72 but i think it is bit much.

 

[Motoalliance]

Yeah, the 66" would be great to get and we will have it. We just killed our manufacturing team by getting this plow from concept to market in 3 months. I couldn't do it to them again as they kept all sorts of other orders on the back-burner.

The plow special is nice if you can handle the 72" blade. You get $50 off the system and you can save $100 off any ELITE winch to go with it.

I would think with the 72" blade there may be an issue with pushing to much snow because of weight. What do you think? It would be going on a STD rzr..

I like the 72... I have to plow my whole mountain in Alaska..If i waited till the "city/state" reached my roads I would be in serious trouble as of right now they make it 3 weeks after snow fall... Add up 5 or 6 snow falls in that 21 days and your under a few feet.. I would be locked in!! Its just that serious... Im out there for hours after every fall, or during it.. My rule is 8 inches..When It hits 8 I have to go get started.. Ive waited before and we had to "hire" the big boys to come out...Im talking dump trucks with blades 4 1/2 feet tall and 10 Feet wide! (basically your just paying the city guys on their way home to drive your areas $$$...) Guess you do what you have too! I also Like the 72 because my RZRs width is at just under 69" wide....

 

[Motoalliance]

Totally makes sense.....and the fun thing about this plow system with that much snow is it is designed to chuck snow around like the big D.O.T. vehicles. You can put those trucks to shame.

I would LOVE to visit Alaska sometime. We have some dealers up there....it'd give me an excuse to see the place.

Yeah that is kind of what I am going to have here that is why I am trying to get something that will work best with mine being only 50" wide. I have been told we could get 7 feet in a year or more since we are in a snow belt at least that is what they got previous years. The area I am plowing is not to big but I for sure need to get something that works well and I think this will just worried it will be to much width or weight for the 50".

Plow and wear bar comes to 92lb ship weight if that helps at all.....

My RZR started as a 50".. I never had one issue pushing a 72" blade.. If I was staying in Alaska I would dump off this Glacier II (which works fine), I just really like hauling Arse as fast as I can go to really throw that snow!!! In the small tight areas the Glacier II's end tips are NICE! you can really shovel it up high!!

I like this new design!

Also the key word is to "Visit" but some people do and NEVER leave... Its time for me to go! My friends either didnt make it back from the War or left a long time ago! I'm running my "official" I'm leaving Alaska on May 15th Calender right here above my 4 computer screens....Im READY! 80 Degrees here I come!! I havnt even chose a state yet.... Just throwing darts at a map...then the wifey gives me 100 reasons to throw the dart again...Wish she would just spit out where she wants to go... I have a feeling that Fort Bragg NC here I come.... get to see my friends at 7th group again!! Spec Ops for life....

I think the wife just misses me being deployed 9 months a year so she gets to hang out with her friends, that and her getting all the $$ since Ive blown almost 20K in the past few months sh'e been a bit cross...

There's still no information on how these things attach and detach from the machine. Where is the mounting information? This is a pretty important piece for people buying a $700 plow setup.

Rolling snow like a "truck" requires speed. I'm certain you don't want too much speed with an RZR. If you hit something it will damage things. There's information on the Moto site about some 5 point system, but zero details. I don't understand the lack of details on this plow setup. Are you simply reselling this from another manufacturer and they won't supply the info? What's the deal here.

I'm actually saying I get that speed! If you would see the mountain I live on....Oh its a rush, just point that machine staright and floor it!!

Even with the Glacier II plow if I turn it to the right or left 1 or 2 clicks and remove the side ends... I can throw snow 20 feet! This new plow has a great angle..I cant get it..I am on my last season right now..First snow (that will stay till MAY,) is 7 days or less away! This will be the first Halloween I have ever had in Alaska without snow on the ground in a VERY long time (like 8 years??) if it doesnt come..

You must be excited to move Mike. NC....is really hot and sticky in the summer. I think you should consider the Denver area. Lots of good real estate options and Denver is on a rise. It's close enough to ride the California dunes and Utah and AZ rides. I know it's not all about RZRs all the time, but you gotta think about the riding opportunities when you move NC is nice, but you won't be able to ride like in Alaska. I don't know......pretty cool to pick a state. I'd move to Tempe AZ if given the chance, or the mountains north of Tempe (Flagstaff). Sick riding opportunities and one of the best natural environments I've been to. Love the place. Going back again this spring. PM me if you have any questions about potential locations....been to many areas in the lower 48. The other thing is that "easterners" are a different breed. It really is more "laid back" in the west. Not so many people trying to claw their way to top. It's more commercial and "productive" for lack of a better word. People are moving fast. It's different back here in the east.

Dude, getting pictures as fast as we can when we get things back from paint! 100 of the lift arm assemblies are at paint right now, due back on Monday. They have three major points of reinforcement on them and I'll get pictures. Our welders didn't keep one in house for us to use as a sample today.

The blade has two stiffeners on the edges and it has a wide support plate across the bottom.....pictures coming for those two.

We are not sourcing this plow. We determined there were no 72" blades with county-style angles for UTV's and went from concept (in August) to drawings, production, and finished product in 11 weeks total. It is coming straight out of our manufacturing facility in Rogers, MN. We are the powersports' division of M&L Industries (you can Google them) and they do high-end work for Graco, 3M, Toro, and Polaris among others.

We modified some existing push-tube designs and mounting systems as there was no need to reinvent the wheel there.....just feel like we made them better....pictures coming by Tuesday. Hope that helps.....

OK Dude... I believe you on the manufacturing now. Had me concerned. Still don't know squat about the mounting system. Also don't know if the push tubes will work with tracks. Still waiting on that info.

 

[Motoalliance]

I hear you.....and the skepticism is good with all the misinformation out there these days. I've been a little stressed this past week making sure this thing gets to market as planned when I put out the public info....if I'm going to say something on a forum, it better be correct.

The mounting system and lift arm is quite similar to Eagle. We changed the lever and positioning system. Also, one of dealers told us where to beef things up that he had bent up on his. And we made a quick detach system with the pull of a pin instead of large bolts that need to be unscrewed. I'll post pictures as soon as we have them.

At one time I plowed snow for Illinois DOT. When you start talking speed plowing be damn sure you have a proper seat belt. IF you hit something you will be glad you had it on. We had big springs on the DOT trucks and they would freeze keeping the plow from rolling over when you hit something like a hole in the road. It would jar your teeth right out of your head. Just be careful when plowing at higher speeds.

 

[Motoalliance]

Yep, totally agree with that. That's why we tried to beef everything up. We know you're supposed to plow at 5 mph, but we also know that's not likely how guys will do it. We're dang sure people don't use winches just for "self-recovery" for example.

 

[FunRide]

.....Just be careful when plowing at higher speeds.

X2. On top of that, your machine can get damaged on major impacts. Crap gets frozen into the dirt and is like hitting iron.

Its snowing!

That's the best plowing "sound" advice I've heard.. Even going fast and clipping the hard bank that were previously plowed and hardened has done some serious hurt on people... In the center on the road, I have a blast..It's funny how much I slow down as I get closer to the sides... This one of the reasons my wife agreed to me getting the new Roll cage right before winter..as the RZR will only be used for plowing and this year when Big Lake in Wasilla is frozen over we are having the huge Alaskan UTV race this year.. It was small last year and I was too injured to even dream of it.. But this year I will be screwing sheet metal screws through some cheap ATV/UTV tires and making one heck of an ice racer!!! This might actually be a first for this Forum..As I will have Videos and Pictures of the UTV ice races.. and I better do Good!! There are a lot of Rhinos up here that will want a piece of me!!

Oh..and BTW... I mentioned earlier today in my post above that In the last eight years there has been snow on the ground for Halloween and not the snow that comes and goes..The stuff that Stays till May... I just got yelled at by my wife for cursing us...The snow is at 1/2" outside my door right now?? Maybe I should watch the weather report?? I always delete the Weather-bug after about 3 weeks every winter..it's depressing!!
I better get My RZR back together tonight if this is going to continue...Be right back, checking the actual weather report for Anchorage area Alaska...


Tonight...Rain and snow...then scattered snow showers after midnight. Patchy fog. Snow accumulations up to 2 inches along higher elevations (that's me)and less than one inch elsewhere. Lows in the mid 20s to lower 30s. Variable winds to 15 mph

Take care guys and good luck with the new plows...

I too am interested in the mounting system? Or are you just selling the Blade? This is just FYI for me..Again, I dont need a new one just for this winter..
