Convert your hard-working utility quad into the ultimate winter trail-clearing machine with the Open Trail ATV Mid-Mount Snow Plow Bracket [MPN: 459-6015]. Engineered as a model-specific frame enhancement, this heavy-duty reinforcement plate bolts directly underneath your machine's primary engine carriage to establish an incredibly secure mid-body plow connection. By shifting the crushing weight and feedback loops of packed snow directly into your machine's center chassis, it delivers superior pushing power, predictable mid-pack wheel traction, and absolute structural frame alignment.
Part number 459-6015 features a specialized structural framework layout engineered exclusively for standard-chassis Polaris utility quads. Meticulously cross-referenced against factory vehicle assembly archives, this mid-body plow mount is a verified direct mechanical fit for the following models:
CRITICAL TUBE SPACING, CHASSIS RESTRICTIONS, AND SKID PLATE TRIMMING WARNINGS:
**Standard Chassis Specificity:** This kit is configured explicitly for standard-width Polaris Sportsman 450 and 570 chassis generations. **It is completely incompatible with wide-track Polaris Sportsman XP 850, XP 1000, Scrambler, or 55-inch wide "S" models**; those oversized machines utilize entirely different front and mid bulkheads requiring alternative bracket layouts.
**Push Tube Sizing Parameters:** This bracket is engineered to interface directly with standard Open Trail and KFI-style **ATV Mid-Mount Push Tubes**. It features a precision pin-up connection width of 14.50 inches (measured center-on-center) designed for standard quick-release attachment pins.
**Skid Plate Modification & Clearance:** Because this structural bracket mounts flush underneath the quad frame to preserve maximum ground clearance, **minor trimming, notched cutting, or temporary removal of your factory plastic under-body skid plate is required** during winter operations. All pin tabs feature a specialized tapered, low-profile shape to ensure that when your plow is detached for trail riding, the tabs won't snag or hang up on logs, trail brush, or rocks. All necessary mounting hardware and instructions are included inside the box.
