what's going on youtube we're back with a uh product review video today so a little bit
different having done one of these in a little bit um it's kind of timely because it's the middle uh
middle of the winter right now i'm recording this so i wanted to do a review on my kfi products
our utv tube system and 60 inch pro poly blade so pretty much the plow that i use
for the last three seasons with my utv reason i wanted to do it because i took me a while
to search when i was first looking for this specific blade from my utv had to
do a bunch of research i have a 05 kubota rtv 900 so this particular kfi product system they
have plenty of attachments and for almost every utv or side-by-side or four-wheeler
on their website so i was looking around because i was afraid that my o5 would be too old
uh but i found a system and i found a bracket system the tube system and the plow that i've
been using for the last three systems and last three seasons sorry and i couldn't be happier
so i kind of want to talk through that want to talk about the points that i like about it uh
general installation and all that kind of stuff uh we'll get into that right after the break
okay so the kfi products utv plow tube system with 60 inch pro poly blade so i bought this
in december of 2019 i'll have uh stick with me this isn't going to be me just talking to
you i have a bunch of uh b-roll it's going to be going on during this whole video so
uh we'll have some actually in action um plowing that i had to do one evening last season uh to
throw in here so like i said i've had this for three seasons of snow now i use it on my o5
kubota rtv 900 i actually contacted kfi products when i was looking at their website because i
wanted to make sure it would fit my utv that got back to me very quickly did it all through
email i didn't have to call anyone what i like to do and they said it would absolutely fit my
uh fit my rig so that's what i did i bought the bracket system and then i bought the
tube system you know that they have on the website and then you can kind of pick which
plow you want and i went with the 16th row holly blade um we've had decent snowstorms i'd say
the last year we had two 10 inch snowstorms and they the uh the system with utv worked wonderful
so um at about 10 inches of snow i think my utv was probably about where it was pushing because
some of that snow was really heavy i was probably topping out at about 10 11 12 inches there of snow
but i was able to do my driveway and our our road is not a public road that comes back to the house
so i have to go out a pretty decent amount to uh to plow so i only use this for my residential
purposes so i use it for my driveway obviously my road out to the main road and then i also have to
you know i'll plow some of my neighbors out as well so realize i'm not using it as a commercial
use i'm only using it residential so this is from a residential perspective with using it you know
multiple times a season to clear the snow so just a heads up there i'm talking about the parts so
the utv bracket system i haven't had any rust for the last three seasons i leave that on as well
so um when i sent them pictures to make sure it was going to fit they told me you know i kind
of showed them underneath the uv and then it's been under there ever since since i put it on um
i had the plow tube system having any issues with that no rust there either either you know it has
a bunch of springs and everything on it to allow for the jarring or pushing the snow or packing it
against a you know a pile uh and then i have the 60 inch pro poly blade uh no issues there even
with the you know i like the little plastic rubber neoprene uh guide thing they have on the top of it
all the bolts and everything have not rusted so i i do take care of my stuff i usually wash it
after each uh season or even after each snow if i if i if it's not that cold but um it's
been working great so far so talking a little bit about installation uh one thing i am not
mechanically inclined i am one of the worst people when it comes to putting things together uh the
the directions for the kfi um they were very easy a lot of the parts came together in in large
pieces and then you were just attaching things so um if i can put this thing together by myself you
absolutely can if you have any type of mechanical aptitude you will be totally fine so don't let
that scare you um so really the plow kind of came as itself the tube system from what i can
remember came in itself and then the bracket came i was able to put the bracket on underneath the
utv and that just kind of has like you know also some holes where you where you slide uh
you slide uh the the bolting or like a trailer you know pin uh through so then you attach the plow
um attach the plow to the tube system you got to attach the attach the plow skid plates on the
bottom to make sure you know it rides up off the ground and then you're attaching the tube system
to the bracket um the plastic rubber guide on the top you have to you have to attach that on
as well you have to attach some springs uh to make sure like i said to so the plow can flex
um and then you're bolting it onto the utv so not a big deal there nothing super tricky
you just need you know a wrench socket sets all that kind of stuff so um it does have
a two-year limited warranty so i'm technically out of warranty now but i don't really have any
uh plowing in general let's get into that so you know i have some some b-roll here i can run but
i love the ability to change the angle so it has kind of three settings you know straight uh left
left angle right angle depending on which way you're going or which side you want the snow to
go off of depending whether you're coming forward or back or whatever that looks like um it's a
mechanical to do that so you just lift the pin and you and you roll it i haven't had any issues
with it getting stuck it's super easy to roll at each angle whether straight or left or right
i don't mind jumping out of the utv and changing the angle and then jumping back in that's not a
big deal to me i do use a winch system that was on my utv to lift and lower uh the plow since it is
all mechanical so realize that it's not hydraulic i don't have hydraulics with my utv so the
previous owner of my utv that i bought it from he actually had the winch system set up and was
going up over the back of the utv and it was for hunting purposes and so now i just kind of flipped
he has like this you know this roller that the the guide cable rolls over and i have it going
up over the uh the cowl guard on the utv and down to catch the plow to be able to lift it up um
and then i have obviously just a control system for up and down for the uh for the actual winch
system so that works really well um i can plow at a pretty decent speed too now the rtv
900 is not known for pace so it's not a utv you're going to go like bombing around uh the trails with
but it does a really good job it's got like you know lot not a lot of speed we got decent power um
decent weight as well which helps so like i have a dump bed so i'll throw some weight in the back
of that to give my four wheel drive a little bit more uh more more traction but i like the speed
i can plow in as well especially because the the road not so much the driveway that i have to plow
um it's pretty long so it allows me to kind of do that at pace which i like
um like i mentioned before 10 inch snowstorms probably get into the the top end of what this
thing could push before it starts coming over the top um and actually you know it is 60 inches in
length but i have the paper here i don't know if i have the the bottom to top um but i'll take a look
at that and i'll plug that in the video um just so you know the height of it as well um but the
10 inch snowstorm you know probably really was around my utv power and more than just the uh
the plow but uh 10 12 inches you're gonna be able to do that with this plow um the other nice thing
is i we get a lot of slushy snow here in south central pennsylvania so it's not always super
super cold enough every season so it's even great with the slushy snow it has no problem with that
pushes it right to the side and that's kind of the most annoying snow to get rid of um because it's
just like you can't snow blow it or anything like that it's really heavy to do with a with a shovel
so this does a really nice job there but um as you can see from the from the clips of the video that
i'm running through this it does a nice job of just kind of pushing everything out of the way
decent snowstorms shouldn't have a problem if your utv you know is a decent caliber or horsepower
um you shouldn't have a you shouldn't have any issues the other thing is the rusting i was
really worried about the rusting this does have like a poly blend face to it is what they call
it so it's made of steel but it has like a poly blend cover or some sort of coating and that's
done a really good job at not chipping or anything like that so far and that's really what's keeping
the rust non-existent and i do you know i i will wax it in uh when the season's over so wash it
down and then i spray like a you know like a car wax all over just to make sure that it
kind of keeps that uh that that poly blend um so probably a little bit overboard i'm taking care
of my stuff but i'd like buying things one time and not having to worry about it so uh if you
have any questions about the kfi products utv plow tube system with the brackets and the 60 inch pro
poly blade certainly leave them in the comments um i've had three seasons now i wanted to take
some time before i did this review to make sure i still enjoyed it and i've had absolutely no issues
i don't have a super smooth uh road going out to the main road either so i do have a little bit of
dips there so it's gone through those taken some bangers on the road as well and had no issues up
at this point no chipping no breakage nothing like that um so it hasn't been smooth sailing always
i've jarted a little bit and cringed my teeth at times but nothing's been [ __ ] wear terror the
other thing i did want to say is i bought um you can make them but these little like dolly carts
on amazon they're really cheap but you could make them with you know simple wheels as well they're
great for storing the plow um in the winter as well so i actually set those right underneath
the plow you know lower it down with the winch on the utv and then i can roll the plow around
uh into where i store it in my garage so um i do store that in my garage as well all winter as well
i know that you know may or may not help with the rust but just up there so that's everything i have
for the kfi products utv plow um once again if you have any questions leave them below and i answer
all of the comments so i'll leave it there and i'll catch you on the next review alright thanks
