Hey blue!!!!

Doolin64,

I did get to use the plow today and it works great as expected. I am very happy with the results, although the skids hit the 26" Mudlites when it was angled to the furthest setting. I ended up just taking the skids off, that's the way I ran my other plows on my previous machines anyway. I also like the new design Moose has for the push tubes(extended lift), My old Moose set-up had the straight tubes and the plow when lifted, would only raise up about 8" off the ground. The way they have it now the plow comes off the ground alot higher, making it much easier to manuever.


When I bought my machine I got it from Cycle Design in Philipston Ma. I paid $6300.00 tax included and that was the best deal I could find around here, other then driving all the way up into New Hampshire where there is no sales tax involved. I guess the price you were quoted isn't that bad because my neighbor just bought an '05 and he paid $7300.00 plus sales tax of 6%. I can't imagine what these machines will be selling for in the next few years!

Doolin,

I did inform my neighbor about Cycle Design and he called them. The problem was that he(neighbor) did not want to wait three weeks untill Cycle Design got more Grizzlys in. I told him to wait but he was insistant he wanted a Grizzly ASAP so he ended up paying $1000.00 more then I did but he did get the $69.00 winch deal and he paid full price for his plow set-up. I frankly couldn't believe why he paid so much for his machine, but I guess "to each his own" as they say. He did get the blue color and for what he paid, he should have it pinstripped with gold leaf paint!


When I bought from Cycle Design there was no winch deal at that time. However I did take advantage of 6 month zero percent financing through Yamaha. Then in 5 months from the purchase date I rolled it over onto my Discover card and I just paid it off this past summer. The Warn winch I bought from Rocky Mountain for $280.00 and the mounting plate was $45.00. The plow set-up I bought from Yamaha/Kawasaki of Putnam for $440.00 tx included. Hope this info helps in your quest.
