$260 Craigslist Moose Snow Plow on my 2020 HD8 Defender (Pics Inside!)

[plumber802]

    I have been wanting to add a snow plow to my HD8 for my small driveway. Being the frugal (cheapskate) Vermonter that I am, I wanted to find a used plow rather than spend the big bucks on a new one. I was able to locate a 72" Moose plow on Craigslist in Chazy, NY which is only a short drive from my home in St-Albans,VT. Seller was asking $300 and I was able to purchase it for $260 after a little negotiating. It came with a crappy home made "universal" mount that the previous owner had cobbled together to fit an older (Chinese?) UTV.

    I was able to find a KFI plow mount on sale on Amazon for $19 reduced from $80. Sweet. I just welded some steel brackets to the bottom of it which accommodate  the Moose plow arms. They are secured with 3/8" pins. I will need to figure out a way to adjust the vertical face of the plow since it does have a bit of a downward angle. Anyhow, I'm not too concerned since we have a short paved driveway in a new development.

    It looks good and seems to work well with the 3500 lb Can Am (Superwinch) winch on the front of the HD8. I will update this thread when I get some use out of it. Thanks for looking.

My wife got them for me at a lawn sale. LOL. They were brand new though. Dickies brand. The box said they were for "low back bucket seats".
