How hard is it to raise and lower the plow from the seated position on the tractor? Is there adequate leverage or do you have to really horse it ?

It's not hard really at all. Just takes a few times doing it to get the hang of it because you need to pull it back towards you then slightly raise it to get it going down.

To raise the plow from the seated position is easy. Lowering the plow can be a bit more difficult, the instructions tell you to pull back and then lower the blade but I need to give it a good hard tug and lift to get it down. I can do it with one hand still seated but it is harder than I first anticipated.

It only takes 3-4 seconds max for plow to travel from ground to fully raised height. Cold weather has no impact on motor speed since the generator of the running ATV will be providing the electricity for running the motor. It is quicker than the winch motor and has stop limits so you will not have to worry about "over-raising" the plow frame into the bottom of your atv. several comments are posted online that they damaged either their plow mount or atv undercarriage due to raising the plow too high and bending/damaging either the plow mount or atv!

I have a 46 inch Husqvarna, about 350 pounds, and it lifts this tractor with little effort.

Yes, you can either tow behind a tractor or attach a handle that comes with the roller. The handle needs to be tightened very tight or else it slips.

The power switch is easy to hold, and that's the easy part to answer. As far as moving it around, it does seem to be much better to pull back on it rather than pushing forward; I also tend to rock it back and forth when the ground gets harder. Bear in mind, this is more a cultivator than a true tiller so if the ground is very dry and hard/compact, it is going to have issues. We use this in dedicated garden beds, and it performs very well, but in the yard with a high clay soil, not so much. It is worth it to get an extra battery or two if you have a lot of ground to till.

My apologies, I don't know any specifics. This lift was for my brothers CanAm ATV. The plow lift was never removed from the box. The instruction sheet was the only item removed from the box. I had a winch put on several years ago & was advised to use a nylon rope & bracket attachment to use with my plow. Less costly & I utilized my winch by changing the rope.

I have a western plow on my truck and t handles it great. Even full off salt it hardly lowers the tuck bed. I just used all the hardware off the old springs. I should have taken my existing lift off because it does raise the truck. They have worked great for me. Good luck

It is a little tough if you're feeble & without help. I do it by stooping all the way down and using my shoulder to brace it up while I use 2 hands to pull the 2 spring loaded pins and then stand to lower it down to the ground. You could also stand or sit in a scooter , bend over, hold the ramp with one hand. You'll have to be able to pull both pins at the same time with 2 different fingers on the same hand. Then lower the ramp. It's not super heavy.

To be honest, I have not. In my case, I like to gather up a "scoop-full" and be able to slide it off to the side of my driveway as I can. In my particular case, I would not want a plow type, for the reason of putting the snow where I want. Hope this helps some.

Are you lifting the rear or the front? Im using it on a Gravely 52" HD mower and it has no problem lifting the front. You can always cal MoJack. Thats what I did.

It is based on the down force and height of your ATV your mounting it to as well as the spring setting you select when installing the plow. Pushes snow great, driveway rock is also easy to grade. If your talking about a hard packed road are driveway you may have issues. If it's loose rock in the middle of a drive are roadway if may do ok. This plow was way more than I was expecting for the money. Easy install and great quality for your dollar. I did install the feet/guide so the bottom edge does not ride directly on the ground. If this was taken off its possible it could dig in a Little better. I believe this would allow it to grade much better. I've never needed to try that. Hope this helps answer your question.

It depends on your idea of quick. The plow tube attaches to the mounting plate on the bottom of the wheeler with two pins. You do have to get on the ground to lift the plow tube into place and secure it with the pins. It takes me about 60 seconds to connect. You do have to do it manually but its simple.

You physically lift it to transport position. Other wise it floats on the surface via gravity when plowing snow.

I have a L110 John Deere. The mulcher will require some muscle because there is a rubber extension with a hook on it. The hook must be physically stretched and connected to a hole in the frame. If you are a strong woman, it should be no problem.

I have no problem with my small John Deere tractor, be care when wet, tractor has hard time getting traction. Had to unhook roller, not to easy when it wants to go down the hill. I had the roller full of water, so it was at max weight.

You can move it with you feet if your legs are strong. If it were a hard surface it would be easier, but for the most part I'm in plowed (loose and soft) dirt and with your weight it will bog down.

Yes, it is easier than a wheelbarrow since the weight is supported by the four wheels -- all you have to do is pull and steer. Also, it is less tippy.
