I have been pretty busy lately, between work, firewood the storm and other nonsense. I have been busting my butt humping wheel barrows full of wood all year from my front yard to my back yard and it was wearing me down. I looked around for something verstile to help out in more ways than one, and I found this for next to nothing!!! This is an 05 Honda Rancher TRX400FA. Four wheel drive with 1100 hours on it. I got a large wagon to haul the split fire wood with and it is a huge help! I figured I would also look into getting a plow for it as well. I had another quad years ago with a plow years ago and it was great, but had to sell it in my divorce. I looked around at local dealers and they had plow setups that ranged from 1100.00 to 1500.00 which was way beyond my budget. I was able to sell my snowblower and came up with enough to buy a kit on ebay made by cycle country and also a KFI winch mount and KFI winch. The kit I got was 1/4 the cost the dealers wanted and it was the same parts!! I did the install myself (first for me), it was a bit of a pain with the wiring because the plastics had to be pulled off but I got it done! During the hurricane I worked a few hours overtime and I was able to grab this trailer to move the quad so I can use it to plow out my families' houses too. Overall with everything, its been busy, but worth it. I was able to finish the firewood alot quicker and now I am set for winter with the wood and the plow! I feel pretty greatful I was able to find these things for a steal on Craigslist!

Nice haul man! ...could I persuade you into heading down this way to plow our drive when/if we get hit with a blizzard? HA!
Thanks man! Hopefully you dont get hit with the blizzard! Thanks! It was a pain but there was no way I was going to pay the dealers prices!
Looks new, plow is a great idea. Firewood does wear you out after a while as well as shoveling snow. I got a small small utility tractor for the same thing, it fills in moving snow, digging a few tree roots and I got to dig a drainage ditch, so the extra help is a thing I know and needed too. Luck with the new toy and have fun with it too.
you need to bring it down to me so i can use it on the 8th -16th hahahahahaha.... need to get me one....
LMAO on that. I help out a few older people when the snow flys and one lady who is still a good looking woman asked me to plow her when it snows, I just grinned, I wanted to ask if anytime would do. Thanks for that, i needed a laugh.
Thanks guys. Turd...you know its on anytime! lol I think it will be a great time saver for me for alot of things so I'm happy!
