Yes, I think I already have one. That is if I can find the right mount for it. Someone was in such a hurry to trade their machine that they left the pusher bar mount on the Rhino......

whats a snow plow

I use a plow off a ATV. The mount on it was designed to attach to the rear ball and stretch under the bike back up front, so I just extended that bar and made a mount for the front. This would work great for the snow because I pushed a lot of rock with it last year working on a few drive ways.

just get some square tubing and you will be fine I'll help you with it.

I was kind of thinking.....Try looking at the corner of Home Depot to find what you are looking for. Removo El Snow......Por Favor!

I'm not sure how much snow you get but this set-up worked well for me last year.
Here's the American Eagle 66" plow with the Montana Jacks winch rotator. The plow could lift higher but the chain supplied from Montana Jacks is supposed to add weight to the winch when in the down position so the winch cable doesn't bird nest. With the chain removed and the winch connected directly to the plow I get another 3-4" of lift but the winch and plow will contact. The orange plastic tube on the bottom of the plow is an idea from a guy on the http://utilityoffroad.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=14136&whichpage=1.

Thanks jigger. I like the tube idea. How well does that work for you?

Snow of course, the cold white stuff,

The plow mounts via two bolts on the front of the Rhino. I leave the mounting plate on all year round and use it as a skid plate.

The plow is strong and very easy to take off. I'm going to use two large pins this year instead of the bolts. It should only take 1 minute max to take the plow off and on. I bought the Montana's Jack mount as I have the Yamaha multi-point winch mount. It allow the winch to pull straight up and down on the plow. I also replace my winch cable with a short piece of cable to save my cable for winching. This set-up (Montana's jack) does hinder the ground clearance when plowing but I only got hung up once and this was when my front tires fell off the edge of the ditch.
