I don't live in snow country. but look at Onfoot's post on here. He has a nice set up. There are several nice rigs in fact and many are highly praised by their owners. I have never heard of this one though. Bordercollie</p>
First one ever seen was on their website : </p>

Anyone know anything about these plows? I live in Maine where can i find them? How much are they?</p>

I've seen these in action. Some of the city sidewalk machines use them for snow clearing and the multiple angling works very well for that purpose. I enquired to the manufacturer about them when I was looking for a blade for my 900. I didn't pursue it cause I found a used bliZZARD in the meantime. I emailed them and they sent me the local dealer info. (just happened to be my Kubota dealer)</p>

I don't have personal experience, but have visited the website. I am sure they would be happy to provide dealer information and a quote. For the record, my experience with plowing is that it works great as long as there is someplace to push the snow and there is not too much snow to push. I am not sure what your situation would be in Maine, but when we lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we tended to get large dumps of very wet snow (often turning to rain before the blizzard was over). This was very heavy to move and we used shovels and snowblowers for clearing driveways.</p>
I would think that the Kanlan V plow would be very handy for clearing sidewalks, so long as you kept up with the snow and were not needing to move old accumulations. The city crews generally used Bobcats with snowbuckets--lifting and dumping snow that would be very difficult to push.</p>
For my part, after a winter of record snowfalls here in Whitehorse, I have gone with a self-powered snowblower mounted in front of my RTV. It works wonderfully. So I have a simple Curtis plow for establishing a base on the road (helps prevent sucking up gravel into the snowblower) and then switch for the rest of the winter to the blower. Using a plow alone I ended up with no place to push snow and could not get the road wide enough between snowbanks that kept falling back in.</p>

I have one of those cheap Lowes plows and it works OK. The RTV isn't the machine for deep, heavy and wet snows. Her but just ain't big enough. I have to break out the backhoe to move the big wet stuff and to buck back the accumulations of smaller snows.</p>
Barrettare you down to gravel yet? Were not quite there in the shady spots.</p>

Gravel is showing up in the sunny spots--and a bit of mud here and there. Shady spots still snow covered, but disappearing gradually. Expect there will be patches of snow in the woods into mid-May at least. At least once the snow is gone the road dries quick. The main road to and from town is already dusty, except the very few places where it gets no sun at all. Beautiful days, however--sun is really warm and it is now light before 6am and not dark until 9 or 10pm.</p>
Wade,I have to disagree with you on this comment.I live in michigan and we get plenty of snow.I had a local shop beef up my curtis plow and mounting system and made it full hydraulic angle and lift.I have pushed up to 12-14 inches of snow with my RTV 900 without a problem.coobie</p>

Hello All,</p>
My name is Dan Stern, and I am the Sales & Marketing Specialist at Kanlan Attachments. As some of you may know, Kanlan is a newcomer to the United States. We have been around Canada since the 1980's and have served the commercial and municipal snow removal markets up here; obivously the next eventual step was to bring these well-liked attachments to our neighbours to the south.</p>
It is great to see the many ideas floating around this site about plows and plowing techniques. One of the most amazing things about the RTV is its capabilities. Many people do notrealize the potential of this little machine - with its extreme pushing potential, industry first hydrostatic transmission, and its unique hydralic capabilities. This is ultimately why we chose to focus on the RTV; simply because it isa tough and rugged machine which can equally match our attachments. </p>
