It will be interesting to see how long that lasts. I do wheelies with my cart and axle bent so they are not as durable as one would like. Yeah, yeah I know they are not made for wheelies but still.

Hopefully we wont get too much snow here in Chicagoland to have to plow.

I am thinkin the same thing. I like that it's simple to build. And I doubt there will be an issue pushing snow around. It's the occasional hit on a curb or whatever that I think would give it problems.
The Terra Toys IFS on my own cart might handle it a bit better..... or it might not.

Like I said,I pushed against a rather large rock ,with no apparent problems.The other thing is that it IS snow.Moves around pretty easy.I have the feet on the plow set up about 1/2 inch so I don't hit any cracks on the driveway or sidewalk.The real weight of the plow is being carried by the frame under the cowl.

Time with tell.I'll just have to keep the welder plugged in.....

Just have to remember its a golf cart and you'll be ok.

That's the first winch I've seen mounted on a RXV, you have any pics of the install before you put the bumper back on?

[LostHusker]

Looking good, did you take any pics while you were mounting it?

cut the c-channel 10 3/4 long welded to winch mount. then bolted to frame
only holes i had to drill were in c-channel. the ones in frame were all ready there. Tried the winch out today no load on it pulled 5 amps
