ATV stands for All Terrain Vehicle, and is also often popularly known as a "4-wheeler" or "quad." These impressive little machines come in various styles and are capable of speeds of up to 35 miles per hour or more.

ATVs typically come equipped with rugged, aggressively treaded tires capable of handling uneven, muddy, gravelly, and slick surfaces with relative ease - this makes them more than ideal for snow blower purposes.

These vehicles are a common sight in rural areas, due to their diverse nature and ability to aid in property maintenance. ATVs are also used for farming and ranching, hunting, and for off-roading on trails, and getting into hard to reach backcountry areas.

How to Choose an ATV Snow Blower Attachment

Erskine 48” ATV Snowblower Attachment

Most ATV snow blowers are fairly similar in nature with the biggest differences being their sizes. Furthermore, you need to pay close attention to the size and determine if your ATV is big enough to handle the attachment you want to buy.

You also need to consider the size of the space you need to clear out. There is no need for a 60-inch ATV attachment if you only have a bit of snow to handle.

Even more, it is also important to think about how you will mount your attachment to your ATV. Many snow blower attachments for ATVs require the use of a winch, and may only mount to certain brands. Although universal mounting kits are also available. Just be sure to do your homework in advance, that way you don't end up with an attachment you cant use.

To determine which blower is the best ATV snow blower for you, consider the following:

What is the size of your space to clear?

If you have a large property to clear, with massive amounts of snow, or lighter snow but wide and long driveway clearance, you should consider the widest attachment possible. That said, if you are only dealing with a small to a medium-sized area or a shorter drive, you may want a smaller attachment that doesn't require as much fuel to push. In this case, a gas snow blower may be a better option as well.

What is your average snowfall?

The annual amount of snowfall that you receive at your property is another major consideration to think about when researching the best snow blower ATV attachments.

Living where snowfall is a regular occurrence through the winter season, you may appreciate a heavier duty ATV attachment to aid you in clearing your yard of snow. But, if snow isn’t so heavy where you live, you may want to consider less costly options, such as a basic snow plow attachment.

Is your snow light, wet, or mixed?

What consistency the snow is that you have to clear also matters. Further, if you will be working in all variety of snow, so you may also want to consider putting chains on your ATVs tires. That said, you may even want to install a removable cab to your machine so that you can stay warm while clearing out there in the cold clearing snow from your property.

What to Look for in an ATV Snow Blower Attachment

Features

The basic features of any ATV snow blower attachment are the most crucial factors to pay attention to while shopping for one. How wide is the blade, how does it work exactly, what sort of components does it have for hooking and unhooking to your ATV, and many more aspects fall into this category. And, depending on what you're expecting out of your new attachment, aside from being able to clear snow with it, will be somewhat determined by its features.

Functionality

How many functions an attachment is designed for is an important aspect to think about prior to making a purchase. Will the attachment you are thinking of buying offer multiple modes of function? Further, do you even want or need extra functions, aside from the ability to move snow in a basic plowing fashion?

Ease of use

The ease of use, or how easy or hard it is to use something, is another big factor to consider before deciding on any one particular ATV attachment for blowing snow. If the unit is hard to install, and remove, or hard for you to maneuver with once on your ATV, it won't be of much use in clearing snow from your property. On the other hand, even if the attachment is smaller, or larger, than you had initially planned on, if it is easier to use, it may be a better investment for you.

Compatibility

One aspect you do not want to overlook while research the best ATV snow thrower attachments is their compatibility with different brands and sizes of ATVs. The very best attachment for one ATV won't do you a bit of good on an ATV that is not compatible with it. Double-check that your ATV is compatible with any attachment you are considering investing in - especially if it doesn't come with a money-back or return guarantee.

Quality of components

The quality of components used in the construction of ATV snow blower attachments goes a long way in dictating the overall quality of the unit. While shopping for the best attachment for your ATV, pay close attention to each component - even the quality and material types of things such as the little nuts and bolts.

Maintenance costs

The overall cost of an ATV snow blower is not just the original purchase price, it also includes maintenance costs. Depending on the model, the cost varies. Many ATV attachments, which aren't much more than a snow ploy type blade, require nothing more than wiping down. But, more complex machines may require lubrication and other mechanical maintenance.

Warranty options

The warranty options, and money-back guarantees, are a huge indicator as to the quality of the product you are thinking about buying. In this case, snow blower attachments for ATVs.

The best ATV snow blower attachments will always include a manufacturer warranty of some sort. The best of the best come with 5-year, 10-year, and even lifetime warranty options.

If you are considering purchasing an ATV snow blower attachment without a warranty or money-back guarantee - don't do it.

Which ATV Snow Blower Attachment Is Right for You?

Snowy climates bring the added chore of clearing snow for property maintenance, as well as safety reasons. Having a dependable tool is important, and if you have a yard of a larger size and an ATV, you can easily create a quick way to get this job done with a snowblower ATV attachment.

Although most are fairly similar in nature to one another, attention to mounting, engine size, and overall housing sizes should be paid particular attention to. That said, we firmly stand behind our top pick, the BERCOMAC Versatile Plus 48-Inch Snowblower ATV attachment.
