Let me tell you, as soon as I saw the State Plow come out of the boxes, I immediately started realizing the similarities between my Western Plow and the Cycle Country Plow. They both have trip springs ( in case you run into something, to eliminate jarring your bones), snow shield on the top of the blade ( to deflect the snow so it will not come over the blade and into your face), shoes ( so you can set the ride height when you are pushing snow, like for my drive which has crushed stones), 3 way adjustable blade angle ( this allows you to direct snow in any direction you choose or just plow it straight), the easiest lift system of any ATV plow I have looked at ( you can opt to use your winch or use the manual lift system, and also you have with the manual lift a locked position with the plow up). Am I impressed, yes. This is one the most durable looking ATV plows on the market
