UTV & Side-by-Side Snow Plows
The driveway is drifted shut, it is 6 a.m., and the machine that hauled firewood in October is about to earn its keep. A Ranger with a 72-inch steel blade clears a farm lane before the school bus comes. A Defender with a Pro-V rolls a wet January dump off a parking lot in half the passes a straight blade would need. A Sidekick with a poly blade scrapes a gravel drive without throwing stone into the yard. We stock 718 snow plow products across every make we cover, from Polaris and Can-Am to Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, CFMoto, Arctic Cat, John Deere and Kubota, in straight blades, country blades and V-plows, plus the mounts, wear bars, markers and pulleys that keep them working. We are based in Wisconsin. We winter our own machines, so nothing on this page is catalog theory.
A UTV plow is two decisions, not one. The blade system is the part you shop by width and shape, and it is largely make-agnostic. The mount is the part that has to match your exact machine, and it does not travel — a mount cut for a Kawasaki Mule will not touch a Kubota RTV, and Polaris mounts split further by model, year and trim edition. Nearly every kit here also lifts by winch, and the winch is a separate purchase. Get the mount right and everything else is a preference. Use the vehicle selector at the top of this page to filter all 718 products to your machine, or skip the guesswork: call (414) 219-0509, text 920-644-5280, or hit the live chat and a real UTV person will confirm the mount, the blade and the winch before you spend a dollar.

BUYER'S GUIDE: How to Choose a UTV Snow Plow
Straight, Country and V-Plow: Which Blade Shape You Actually Need
The blade shape decides how the snow leaves the blade, and it is the first fork in the road. Our catalog splits three ways, and the counts tell you where riders land.
| Blade type | Build and width | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight blade (391 kits) | Powder-coated steel or poly, 60 to 72 inches, fixed moldboard | Driveways, farm lanes, most residential plowing, anyone plowing a few times a winter | Pushes one direction only, so you double back on wide areas and windrow the edges |
| Country blade (41 kits) | Taller, higher-clearance moldboard, steel | Deep rural snow, long lanes, machines that carry a big load without stalling out | Fewer fitments, and the extra height is wasted on light suburban snow |
| V-plow (71 kits) | Two hinged wings, up to 80 inches straight and 75 inches in the V, 11-gauge steel or poly face | Packed and drifted snow, big lots, commercial and heavy property work | Costs two to three times a straight kit and adds weight a lighter machine may not want |
| Accessories and wear parts (137 items) | Wear bars, skid shoes, markers, pulleys, drop brackets, actuators | Keeping a plow you already own working | Nothing, these are the cheapest insurance in the category |
A V-plow earns its money in three positions. Wings forward scoops snow and carries it. Wings flat runs as a straight blade. One wing forward angle-pushes to a side. That versatility is real, and it is also why a V-plow is the wrong first plow for someone clearing 60 feet of suburban driveway six times a year. Switchblade and multi-position blades sit between the two, converting between widths and angles on pins, and they are the honest compromise if you want more than a straight blade without the V-plow price.
On width, the rule most people get backwards: your blade needs to be wider than your machine, not equal to it. A blade angled 30 degrees clears a path noticeably narrower than its face width, so an angled pass on a 60-inch blade covers less than 60 inches of ground. Run wider tires, wheel spacers or a lift and you need more width still to keep the wheel track covered, or you drive one side through the snow you just pushed. Sixty to 66 inches suits driveways and tight yards. Seventy-two is the lane, lot and acreage answer. Eighty is V-plow territory and belongs on a heavier machine.
Manual, Electric or Hydraulic: How You Angle the Blade
Angling is the difference between plowing and stopping to plow. Manual angle adjustment uses pins you pull by hand, which means climbing out, repositioning the blade and reinserting pins every time the direction changes. It is included on most basic kits, it has nothing to break, and it is genuinely miserable at 10 degrees. It makes sense on small areas where the angle rarely changes.
Powered angling moves that job to a switch. Electric actuators use a motor to swing the blade and draw meaningful current while running, which is worth knowing if your machine already runs a winch, a heater and a light bar off a marginal charging system. Hydraulic angling either taps existing power steering hydraulics or adds its own circuit, and it is the setup commercial users choose because it changes direction on the move without stopping. Either one turns a two-hour driveway into a 40-minute one on a property with real acreage.
There is an upgrade ladder here and you do not have to climb it all at once. Manual lift is nearly unbreakable. Winch lift with a pulley kit is where most riders start, and adding a pulley roughly doubles lifting capacity while improving cable angle and extending cable life. Power angle kits and full hydraulic control with a dash switch sit at the top. All of it bolts onto a kit you already own, so buying the straight kit now and adding the angle kit next winter is a legitimate plan, not a compromise.
What Separates a Plow That Lasts From One That Got Bent?
The failure points in a plow system are boring and predictable, which makes them easy to shop for.
Push tube and pivot. The push tube carries every pound of force from the blade into your frame. Look for heavy-wall square steel tubing and a reinforced pivot. KFI's Pro 2.0 push tube runs 1-1/2 inch square steel with thick pivot bushings and delivers up to 30 inches of lift height. Cheap tubing bends on the first buried curb and takes the mount with it.
Moldboard construction. Gauge and ribbing matter more than paint. Denali's 19-inch scoop blade is 11-gauge steel reinforced with four 7-gauge vertical ribs and three 7-gauge horizontal stabilizers. KFI builds in Grade 50 steel out of Spring Valley, Minnesota. Steel takes abuse and holds an edge; poly sheds wet snow better and will not rust, which is why some V-plows run a replaceable poly face over a steel structure.
Blade trip. Springs or a pivot that let the blade kick back when it hits something immovable. A blade that does not trip transfers the full impact into your frame, and a frame repair costs more than the plow. This is the single spec most worth checking before you buy.
Mount plate design. The plate has to spread plowing loads across multiple frame points rather than concentrating them on two bolts. Quick-connect plates come off in a few minutes on pins so the machine goes back to being a machine, which matters if you do not own a dedicated snow rig.
Wear parts, which are the real tell. The wear bar takes all the ground contact and is meant to be replaced. Skid shoes hold the wear bar off the surface and set your cutting height. Together they cost under $110 and they are why the top of our best-seller list is dominated by replacement parts rather than complete kits — the people buying them are on their third season with the same blade.
UTV Snow Plow Pricing: What You'll Actually Pay
Three price points, all taken from the live grid on this page.
Entry, roughly $550 to $730. The Denali Universal 72-inch Standard Series at $699.99 and KFI's Wildcat Trail kit at $729.95 sit here. This is a complete straight-blade system: blade, push tube, mount and hardware. You are not buying less durability at this tier so much as fewer options — manual angle, standard steel, no frills. For a driveway and a few storms a year it is the right amount of plow.
The sweet spot, roughly $780 to $915. This is where most of our plow customers land, and it is where the catalog is deepest. KFI's complete heavy-duty kits run $779.95 across a long list of machines including the Commander, Teryx, RZR, UForce 600, UForce 1000, U10 Pro and ZForce 950. Eagle Plow's US-steel kits run $899.99 to $914.99 for Yamaha Viking, John Deere Gator HPX and Kubota Sidekick. At this tier you get heavier push tubes, better mount engineering and a mount cut specifically for your machine rather than adapted to it.
Premium, $1,199.99 to $2,399.95. Kolpin's Conqueror front-connect kits hold a flat $1,199.99 across seven different machines, from the Pioneer 1000 to the Kawasaki Ridge to the RZR 900/1000, which makes them an easy comparison if you own more than one machine. KFI's complete Pro-V systems top the category at $2,399.95 for the Can-Am Defender, with the 80-inch dual-curvature V-blade, Grade 50 steel and the Pro 2.0 push tube. This is what commercial property and serious acreage buys.
Two things worth knowing about the shape of the money here. Roughly 83% of this category sits above $450, because complete kits dominate it. And the winch is almost never included — budget $200 to $300 for a 4,500-pound winch and its mount if the machine does not already have one, or ask us and we will spec it with the kit. On kits over $1,000, Affirm at checkout lets you spread it.
Every order is covered by our 90-day return policy. The most common manufacturer warranty in this category runs 3 to 6 months, but Side by Side Source offers extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in — you can add the extended warranty right at checkout.

Top 5 UTV Snow Plow Products
- Defender Complete Snow Plow System by KFI ($767.85) — blade, Pro 2.0 push tube and a Defender-specific mount covering HD5 through HD11, standard and MAX. Our best-selling complete kit, and the one we ship most to working ranches.
- Universal 72" Standard Series Snow Plow System by Denali ($699.99) — 72 inches of straight blade with a universal mounting approach, for the buyer who owns a machine we do not have a dedicated kit for, or who plans to keep the blade through the next machine.
- Kawasaki Ridge Conqueror Front-Connect Snow Plow Kit by Kolpin Powersports ($1,199.99) — front-connect design on the new Ridge platform. Kolpin runs this same kit and price across seven machines, so it is the one to compare if you plow with more than one.
- Pioneer 1000 Snow Plow Mount by SuperATV ($238.95) — mount only, for the Honda Pioneer 1000 owner who already has a blade and push tube and needs the piece that actually bolts to the machine. Second best seller in the whole category.
- KFI Snow Plow Skid Replacement Kit by Open Trail ($46.95) — the number one best seller on this page. Skids set your cutting height and save the wear bar, and replacing them every couple of seasons is the cheapest thing you can do for a plow.
UTV Snow Plow Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UTV snow plow kit come with a winch? Almost never. A complete kit means blade, push tube and your machine's mount. The winch does the lifting and is a separate purchase, and on some machines the winch mount is separate again. Budget $200 to $300 for a 4,500-pound winch and mount, which is the size that handles plow duty and still recovers a stuck machine the other three seasons. If the winch also does heavy year-round pulling, step up to 6,000 pounds. Manual-lift kits skip the winch entirely and are operated from the seat.
How wide should my plow blade be? Wider than your machine. An angled blade clears a path narrower than its face, so a 60-inch blade angled hard covers well under 60 inches. Sixty to 66 inches handles driveways and tight spaces. Seventy-two inches is right for lanes, lots and acreage. V-plows reach 80 inches straight and 75 in the V. If you run oversized tires, wheel spacers or a lift kit, size up so the blade still covers your wheel track.
Will plowing wreck my gravel driveway or my lawn? Not if the blade is set right. On gravel, run skid shoes to hold the blade an inch or two off the surface — you will leave a thin layer of snow but keep the stone where it belongs, and some spring raking is normal. On pavement, set the shoes for light contact so the wear bar scrapes without gouging. On grass, avoid plowing across turf at all where you can; frozen ground helps but a blade still cuts ruts.
Do I need to add weight to the back of my machine? Usually yes. A front-mounted plow puts 100 to 200 pounds over the front axle and unloads the rear, which is where most UTVs put their traction. Two to four hundred pounds of ballast in the bed — sandbags, weights, whatever you have — restores the balance and stops the wheels from spinning when the blade loads up.
How much snow can a UTV actually push? More than people expect, with the right setup. Light powder is easy for almost any machine and blade. Wet, heavy or drifted snow over about a foot is where horsepower, machine weight, tires and blade shape all start to matter, and where a V-plow separates itself from a straight blade by cutting through instead of pushing against. Traction is usually the limit before power is.
Are aftermarket plows as good as an OEM plow kit? OEM sells you one well-made option for your machine. This page carries 718 products across ten-plus brands, in steel and poly, straight and V, from a $46.95 skid kit to a $2,399.95 commercial Pro-V — and KFI, Denali and Eagle Plow all build in the USA to specs that meet or beat what the dealer offers. The aftermarket advantage here is not lower quality at a lower price, it is having an actual choice.
