Side By Side / UXV 450i Plow
« on: August 21, 2015, 12:17:47 AM »
The 2015 Kymco UXV 450i does not use the same push plate as the UXV500.  So far, I've found only one option for factory mounting a plow on the 450i, which is the Warn 60-Inch Plow Kit, part #WPK450U60 listed for $799.99 on the Kymco website.   

The plow kit contains:
UXV PLOW MOUNT KIT (WP94625)
UXV PLOW PUSH TUBE ASSEMBLY KIT (WP92100)
UXV 60 INCH PLOW BLADE KIT (WP78960)

WP92100 and WP78960 appear to be standard Warn parts and can be ordered from Amazon.com for decent discounts, and of course, you could pick a different blade. I haven't found the plow mount kit (WP94625) listed anywhere yet, and when I asked Warn directly, they disavowed all knowledge of such a part.

Brand new to this forum.  Just got my UXV 450i yesterday.

I have never been a boy with toys.  Never owned a four wheeler, or a boat, or a snowsled, or any of that kind of thing; not in my whole life.  Never could justify that kind of expense when there were other family needs.  But my wife said it was time to pay myself back a bit (bless her), so we bought one yesterday.

I wanted something comfortable to ride so that old farts could toodle around on the ATV trails that run along the back edge of my property.  Might as well use it, since it's on my land.  I had no idea the ATV trails in Maine were so extensive.  Anyway, I debated for a few agonizing weeks on what to buy and finally settled on the 450i really because it was an easy fit for the back of my pickup.  The dealer said bigger machines would give me more top-end speed that, as a novice, I probably didn't need.  I think he was right.  Also, my neighbor has had a very good experience with a pair of Kymco scooters, so I wasn't afraid of the brand.

First impressions: This rig has PLENTY of power; and has more get-up-n-go than some bigger motor SxS's in my neighborhood. Top-end, they can beat me, but I get off the line faster; and 48 mph is plenty fast enough for me.  I'm not out to kill myself.  My wife and I have been driving all over our road and having a blast.  My only issue with this rig, so far, is that the shifter.  It seems upside down to my brain.  Not sure why that is.

Anyone know if this will take the same Warn plate as the 500-series?  I'm thinking a plow would help me justify the expense :)
