Description & Specs

It's time to forget about borrowing, renting, or paying others to plow for you! It's time to own your own plow and use at your OWN convenience instead of planning around someone else's schedule! 

Groundhog QUICK FACTS:

  • The combined weight of the ATV  the rider allows the plow to penetrate the ground. 

  • Easy to transport - just flip the plow upside-down to take along with your ATV anywhere.

  • Six heavy-duty 8" discs roll over rocks, grass, sticks and stumps without clogging up.

  • ATV will back up with the plow engaged. This is critical for maneuvering in tight spots.  For example firebreaks and roadbeds.

  • The Groundhog tracks your ATV, it allows you to plow and maneuver more effectively than pull behind plows. 

  • The Groundhog mounts to the frame of any ATV that has either an existing 2” or a 1 ¼” manufacturer’s receiver by using 2 supplied tractor pins. Another application is one bolt thru the utility hole and one bolt thru the frame of the ATV. There are other applications as well (parts and instructions are included).

  • Easy to adjust depth (1 tractor pin). After plowing is complete…shallow up to cover seeds (other implements and drags are not needed) plow and tire cleats will do the job.

  • Weight = 40lbs  Width = 21" 

  • Height = 18 inches (adjustable) 

  • 6 heavy-duty 8 inch discs w/ braded on bearings  

Advantages over pull-behinds (read and consider)

Think about the time and effort saved with the Groundhog Disc Plow:

To compare the Groundhog to a pull behind or even a tractor your starting point should be at your home. The process begins and ends with loading and getting implements to your actual food plot and back. Think about it and you will get the picture.

 

The Pull-behind Option: 

  • Loading the night before or getting up earlier to load trailer.

  • Use or borrow a trailer (remember how much fun it is to back up).

  • Keep in mind the trailer would need to be at least a 10 footer or you would have to put the ATV on the truck and the plow on trailer (note: if this is the case you would have to manhandle plow onto the trailer since your ATV would be on the truck both at home and when you get to your food plot).

  • Coordinate time and place with your buddies for their help.

  • Consider the pulling and straining of “old muscles” and so on.

  • Hope your trailer lights work and tires are up.

  • Waste gas pulling the trailer.

  • Get the trailer as close as possible to food plot. What if it is muddy?

  • You and your buddies offload trailer, hook up, and pull plow slowly to site.

  • Once the plowing is done pull slowly back to trailer, coordinate with buddies to reload. Drive back home with buddies to unload.

  • Put pull-behind back up (hopefully inside out of weather)

  • Put trailer back up.

  • Thank and/or return favor to buddies

The Groundhog Option:

You attach Groundhog to the ATV in transport position (disc turned up). You don’t need any help to do this. Drive your ATV onto your truck, drive to your hunting area and drive the ATV off the truck Drive your ATV all the way to your food plot (not at a snails pace and not being concerned about getting hung up in route). Engage plow at the food plot site and plow. When you are finished flip the Groundhog to the transport position. Return to, and drive up on the truck. Drive home and unload the ATV. You are finished!

  • Lightweight - 40lbs. compared to 400-800lbs. No partner needed to load and unload.
    No trailer needed to get the plow to the plot.   

  • Compact - 18" x 21" WIDE compared to 4 ft. x 4 ft. 

  • Cost - $$$$ less  

  • Plow in Reverse - ATV can back up with plow engaged. This is critical for plowing in tight places. 

  • Transporting - you only need a truck compared to needing a truck and trailer to haul to location. 

  • Storage - easy storage can be stored inside since it is compact.

  • One Man Show - 1 man operation compared to 2 or 3 people.

  • Plowing Speed - not at a snail’s pace (ATV & rider stay cooler). 

  • Maintenance Free – no hydraulics, fittings to grease, ratchets, or flat/dry-rotting
    rubber tires to worry about. 

  • No additional weight needed to be added to the plow. 

  • Don’t worry about getting the plow stuck in the woods trying to get to your site.

  • Does not require a large liquid cooled 400cc or larger ATV for use. 

  • Your ATV is riding up on the discs rather than pulling a large amount of weight. This setup is a lot less wear and tear on you ATV’s belts and transmissions.

The GroundHog is Compatible with These Types of ATV frames:

  1. Any unit with a 2" factory receiver

  2. Any unit with a 1-¼" factory receiver

  3. Frames made where you can put a bolt thru the factory utility hole, then utilize and attach the supplied slotted flat bar by forward bolting it. This is accomplished by running the flat bar under the belly of the ATV and bolting it thru a forward factory hole in the frame. Spacers are provided for any leveling that could be required. Note: it does not have to be perfectly level. Click here to see a drawing.

  4. Frames made with a "crossbar" on the frame running from left to right (approximately 18 or so from the rear). Click here to see a drawing.

  5. Frames with existing heavy duty utility holes may be used. Utility/Receiver holes from manufactures on some models are strong. The receiver tube that comes with your groundhog can be bolted with one bolt thru these holes. Keep in mind this would be for lighter plowing. To utilize plowing in reverse hardware would need to brace the receiver to keep it from going left to right. Otherwise it would get into your tires in the reverse mode.

The low rear end housing on these models and some others does not allow for the long 24" flat bar to be forward bolted in the front, the Groundhog receiver tube only could be used, but will not be as strong. Aftermarket products are available to correct this (see above note).

Performance Warning

The Groundhog is made for 4X4 ATV's. 2X4 ATV’s will not work as well and may only be able to plow lightly due to limited traction. ATV’s with a straight axle that hinges in the middle of the frame may not work at all due to not being able to put downward pressure on the rear of the ATV.
