i just installed a used 48" cycle country plow on a suzuki ozark 250 2x4. Does any one know if it will be able to handle sidewalks in central ohio. We dont get many heavy snows. Also thought i could leave it at home for wife to get in and out as my drive is the last one to get done.
I had this exact setup and carried it on a large hitchhauler with a 2wd truck. It did a great job up to probably 4 inches. I'm in sw Ohio so it worked good most of the time. I have a picture of it titled "my heavy duty hitch hauler". The only thing I would do different if I still had that quad was use a winch instead of the manual lift.
Thanks for the info i just got it all hooked up tonight and am pleased. I have a winch so i used the lift handle cable to release the angle position. Im hoping i can use it to change angle from seat by turning with the plow down or brushing the side i want to angle to against some snow. Hope it works. thanks again

for plowing add some weight to the Back and Tire Chains and you should be fine.

i used the existing lift mechanism hande cable and pully, all i had to do was drill a hole in the locking bar below its pivot point and run the cable thru it. very simple fix. every thing is spring loaded from the factory so it took one hole and a shorter cable. I will try to get pics up soon.
You sure can.
I kid you not, I had a plow on my 300 EX with chains and plowed a lot of snow 2 years ago.
You have to plow with the snow but you can do it.
Have fun, be safe.
