Re: Using G16 for snow plow
The other thing I learned is the longer and flatter your plow frame, the better it plows and transfers the weight to the vehicle.
In pic#1 in grey, the plow frame is low to the ground and the pivot point is under the vehicle. When the plow is lifted, the weight of the plow is distributed between the front and rear axles, steering is much better. This prevents the plow from binding when hitting rocks or joints in the concrete. It plows better this way because the plow will resist tripping forward more. In pic #2 in green, the plow frame is shorter and angled. The pivot point is higher up near the bumper. This will carry the weight of the plow on the front wheels and the vehicle will steer funny and the suspension will squat more when the plow is lifted. The high angle of the plow frame will cause binding when it hits rocks and the plow will tend to want to trip forward. Here's my snowplow thread, not sure it will be any help or not but if you're curious https://www.buggiesgonewild.com/showthread.php?t=72759 |

Re: Using G16 for snow plow
Running into another problem with the winch. The winch cables are not long enough to reach my battery. I have some 8 gauge battery cables that I can use with an Anderson connector for quick connect. The power cables on the winch box are 10 gauge. Is there a problem with running 8 gauge from my battery to the quick connect and then using the factory 10 gauge cables the remainder of the distance?

But, I would probably just replace the wiring so there are no splices, but that's going to cost a little money. That's the right way. |

Re: Using G16 for snow plow
It should work fine. I assume you'll be using the switchgear that came with the winch with a fuse etc?
