Make sure you get 1 thats wider than your 4X4 when plowing.
I got a 5' for my 4' mule.
Should have been a 6'.

I use a kfi plow 66 inch I put a extension wing on left it is heavy but it does a great job. My second option would be a moose

Works great for me, can push a surprising amount of snow.
Key is plowing the drive as wide as possible early so there’s room for new snow all year. Very difficult to move snow piles later.

I got a 54” Moose with a quick attach mount on a Honda 500 rubicon, works ok. Once snow gets above a foot, takes awhile to get it cleared. My first moose plow from 2001 was much better built.

KFI , 15 seasons & no problems. My driveway is 500 ft. & gravel. I get two seasons on each of the wear bar.

I have a 60" Cycle Country on my Honda 500 Rubicon. I do not think Cycle Country is made anymore but it has been a great plow.
I chain up all 4 wheels and it will push a surprising amount of snow. I have a 450 foot long gravel driveway and like said above, plow it way
wider than you think you will need. Once the snow is windrowed up it is there til spring. I have had to have the neighbor come over with
a skidsteer to move it back in a hard winter when the drive was getting mighty narrow.

I got a 6'KFI for my 700 honda pioneer and chains on the front. I also put a 6' piece of 2" schedule 80 pvc pipe over the plow blade so it won't dig up the gravel driveway.

Vermonter that’s a good idea, might try that with ours.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
