This is my first post on the forums. I thought I would pop in and say thanks for all of the useful information. I have been shopping for an ATV for some time and finally decided to pull the trigger. I will be picking up a Sportsman 570 tomorrow.
I am in SE Michigan (Clarkston) and plan to use it for plowing and small jobs around the property. My drive is 125' long and five cars wide at the top (narrows at bottom). Plus, the county rarely plows the road I live on and it can be very difficult to navigate in deep snow since we live at the top of a long hill. I would like to be able to create a path so that my wife and neighbors can get up the hill in bad weather (I have a Jeep I drive in heavy snow, so it never really bothers me
).
I also plan to do some trail riding. I have a couple of friends who ride, but I hope to meet up with some other riders in the area who know the trails. Does anyone know of any clubs in the area?
I decided to go with a 60" Warn Provantage plow blade and a Warn winch with KFI mount.
Are there any other accessories people can recommend? I am looking for some mirrors and rack accessories if anyone has any suggestions.
Again, thanks to everyone here for all of the information that helped me make my final decision.
