Kolpin UTV Switchblade Plow – 17-5000, 60" X 72"

I live in Northern Idaho and bought this to plow our driveway and road with my side by side. I was skeptical at first, wondering if I would break it on frozen snow or a rock hidden under the snow, but it has held up great and even dislodged frozen rocks the size of footballs from the frozen ground. I have honestly beat the crap out of this thing and it has taken no damage. We got dumped on this Winter, so I was ramming my snow banks to push the snow over. We have a ton of large rocks on the property that I've hit, but it is designed to buckle and snap back when it meets an immovable object. By the time I get to the road, I just want to be done, so at full speed, if the blade catches a pot hole, it buckles and snaps back without any damage to the plow. Mine is mounted on a Yamaha Rhino, so it's not the best ground clearance and the brace arms mount underneath, so I have felt them bottom out a time or two, but I have a front hitch, so plan on fabbing a mount for it before next Winter. Buy it and beat the crap out of it, you won't regret it.

Works great. Setup is a little hard for a non-mechanic but saved a ton of money doing it myself. Very happy.

I like the plow and easy to assembly. It plowed a heavy wet snow with no problems.

This is a light duty plow, so don't expect it to plow like a Boss on a pickup truck, but it does great for what it is. Perfect for clearing your residential driveway. Not heavy enough for commercial use, you will bend it and break it.The fitment is excellent on my Coleman UT400, I did not need any additional hardware. A pleasant surprise, as this machine has basically no aftermarket support and it's tough to find anything that fits out of the box. The only modification I had to make was to drill some holes through the skid plate for the U-bolts to go through. I had to loosen some screws holding the floor down in order to get the U-bolts between the floor and the frame rails, but after they're in, I tightened them back up and you wouldn't notice the difference.

I purchased this snow for my utv. You can build it in the 66” or 72” plow. I did the 72” and it worked great. I used it on heavy wet snow as well as light fluffy snow. This plow was almost half the price of the next closest priced plow. No regrets.

Although Q&A says it won't fit, purchased for 2022 Gen2 CFORCE 500 ATV and it fits great. Looked through parts list for ATV VS UTV plow and difference is the utv has longer blade 60" to 72" vs ATV 48" to 60" and extenders for the push bars on UTV which I didn't use. Mounts seem to be same as ATV version has reviews that show some ATV installs need to cut for clearance and manuals show same images of universal mount, either way the UTV mount worked great on my ATV. Prior Kolpin plows were marketed for either UTV or ATV.Reason for deciding on UTV version is the ATV version 48" width at full angle is not wide enough for the track width of an ATV so would only use 60". 60" at full angle is wide enough and same for both ATV and UTV so UTV version gives option to go to 72" if desired. I setup at 60" first but decided to just set to 72" and see how it goes as 60" was just a bit over the width of tires at full angle. Try at own risk for ATV but seems to be great so far for my CFORCE 500 Gen2. Only issue is angle for winch lead if you mount to rear hook location, moved to angle adjuster rear hook location and is directly down. Ordered kfi plow poller fairlead to reduce load on stock winch fairlead rollers.

Had to modify my rig for installation. Metal seems thin but if it works and lasts I’ll come back to say so.

I bought this as a Christmas present and we used it last weekend for the first snowfall. It was perfect. Install was easy and for half the price of other plows, you can’t beat it!!

The box came and was in rough shape ,worn corners and puncture holes,it was over priced by almost double ,,,other than that it's a good plow,,,took some time to assemble but works good
