Product Specs and Durability
The product is made with high intensity heavy gauge steel. Each disc has its own high-speed double-sealed, deep groove bearings. The discs are installed with anti-slide bolts and nuts for easy replacement of bearings if necessary. All bearings are the same size. Discs are mounted on a ¾” axle. This axle is then encased in a 1” steel pipe. This creates a closed system that does not require greasing. The GroundHog MAX ATV/UTV Disc Plow does not have ratchets. There are no tires to go flat and dry rot. It is practically maintenance free.
According to the food plot layout and its size and shape, GroundHog MAX plowing speeds range from 3-10 mph. These are twice as fast as a pull-behind type plow. Unlike a pull-behind plow, you never have to go to the trouble of adding/strapping on more weight or worrying about the plow tipping over. Pull behinds also put a lot of stress on your machine and it may overheat.
Our tests found this was the optimal size/disc design to cut the ground with heavy grasses, roots, rocks, sticks, and such. It needed to fit between the 2 rear tires for “direct down pressure”. This size setup does not overly affect steering/strain on your machine. Being able to use more weight and having less steel on the ground is what makes it cut and handle so well. With its size your plowing speeds are much faster than with a wider pull-behind type.
