I've been wanting to get a 570 Full size Ranger. I'm trying to keep the cost down and want advice on what accessories are a must or definitely should be upgraded.

Primary uses:

snow removal
ice fishing
firewood hauling
pulling dock in and out
trailcutting
food plot

I will be hauling it to and from my cabin at hwy speeds on an open 6x12 trailer. Here's what I'm thinking for accessories:

1. steel roof (is poly ok?)
2. snow plow kit (includes 4500# winch with synthetic cable) --is steel blade better than poly?
3. glass windshield
4. poly rear window
5. canvas doors
6. heater/defrost kit
7. windshield wiper kit
8. 13" LED light bar

I'd especially appreciate opinions of guys from up North that run these in -20's etc. Will I regret the canvas doors/poly rear window for trailering?

Thanks!

Just met with a coupe dealers yesterday, I have it configured as follows:

2015 570 Full Size
poly roof
canvas doors
glass windshield
heater kit
wiper kit
poly rear (I know it's only $50 more for glass but he brought up the point that less chance of shattering with stuff in bed and I need to cut costs somewhere)
13" light bar
4500lbs winch synthetic rope

This is the part I'm struggling with:

Glacier II plow system with steel blade

Can I get the hydralic angle adjuster with the Glacier II or do i need the Glacier Pro? Will I regret not getting Glacier Pro?? I can see a huge pain getting out to adjust plow angle if striping back and forth in Minnesota when it's dark and cold out...

Thanks!

I have a 570 fs with the glacier pro plow system all hydro "up down left right". Also have a plow on a gator with manual left right. Hands down I love the glacier pro plow system.......only thing with is that it does have down pressure so be careful on gravel road how much pressure u use and not tip the blade. You get the hang of it pretty quick. Hope this helps...
