How much down force does the plow have? Is it all based on the weight? Anyone used it for light grading?

yes it is all based on the weight......for light grading, if you added some weight on top of the plow it should do the job! this plow works excellent for basic snow removal and i dont think you'd have a problem pushing gravel with it either.....however i have not tried it yet! good luck! well worth the $$$$

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.

I have a steep hill in my yard. My previous electric mower weighed 90 pounds, so this is a huge improvement (at around 30 pounds). I find it very easy to handle on my hill, but know that it is NOT self-propelled.

Advertised as 300 lbs. We use it to load a mini horse into a van and it works fine. We did, however, put rubber matting on the top to improve the traction and make it softer.

My wife uses it for gardening/yard work. She has really not tried to put any real heavy weight on it, sorry not to be of any real helpexcept to say she much perfers it to a wheel barrow for moving stuff around.

I've used it on an uneven hard surface (we've got a really hilly/uneven backyard) and it held up just fine. I hope you enjoy!

I specifically bought this to use instead of my heavy farm boss for light trimming. When you are clearing land by cutting lots of bushes and small trees at ground level, 4 pounds lighter can make a big difference.

Weights less then twenty pounds. very easy to use. My eighty year old dad uses it to clear light to medium snow on walkway driveway.

I've only done it once so far, so we fumbled a little. But yes it was easy. I don't remember about the weight. Parts of if aren't to bad, The heaviest section is the part where the steering tiller is located. I haven't actually used it much since I mainly bough it for when I go off somewhere (zoo, etc.). So far I'm very happy with it and would buy one again if I needed another and could afford to. And Amazon has given GREAT customer service regarding it and everything else I bought from them. Let me know if I can tell your anything else. Kimetha Bryan

You could actually mow grass with it, so it is low. Sorry cannot give you exact specifications.

It raises the plow about 6-8" high off the ground. If you are wondering how much weight it will lift I can't answer that but I know it has no problem at all lifting my warn 60" tapered plow and seems like it can handle much more. In fact if I run it all the way down it can push the front end of the 4 wheeler up off the ground.

You manually lift it in and out of transport position. When in use, the plow slides up and down on the push frame as the contour of the ground changes.

It's not that much down force it's kinda just dragging but with more then one pass it works okay .... I was thinking about putting weight on the blade to help with that.... I use it on a Utv in the snow

It does ok in 3" of snow on 4 wheels. I have not hauled anything heavy in grass, but moderate weight it is not to bad it move fairly well in the upright position haven't hauled anything on all 4 wheels.

The unit is rated for 1500 lbs. Depending on how heavy the plow is and the angle of the cable as it pulls the plow is all a factor. I did not use it for a snowplow, but this seems to be a better quality small winch. Good luck

The mobility is good. Even the rims and tires have a quick release if need be. I hang mine on a wall and its not very heavy. Being in Montana I've had 100 pounds on some rough dirt roads, its design is good but doesn't like to be to "top heavy".

I've not used a plow type shovel, so I can't compare them. But I love my snow sled. I'm 70 yrs old, and this is so awesome. You don't have to lift it. Just tilt it and the snow falls off. It also can be "sledded" up a snow bank to dump.
