The KFI Can-Am Defender plow mount is the vehicle-side base for a KFI UTV snow plow, built so your Can-Am Defender can push snow with a KFI push tube and blade. It is listed for the Can-Am Defender HD5 through HD10, Defender MAX, PRO, 6x6 and XU models listed below, and it is made in the USA from grade 50 steel.
This is a KFI plow mount only. Pair it with a KFI push tube and blade to build a complete KFI UTV plow, then pull the hitch pins to take the plow off when spring comes.
Every KFI snow plow on a UTV is built from three parts: the vehicle-specific KFI UTV plow mount, a KFI push tube and a blade. This snow plow mount is the first piece; add the tube and blade and you have a complete UTV plow kit or UTV snow plow kit. KFI UTV snow plows share one push tube and blade line, so each mount is the only vehicle-specific UTV plow part. It is the base for a can am defender snow plow: snow plow for can am defender and plow for can am defender shoppers start with this can am defender plow mount, which carries the can am defender plow push tube.

KFI's chart carries a J note on this mount: lifted machines or machines on larger tires need a 2-inch leveling kit, 106322 for 106300 tubes or 105700 for 105635 tubes. Drilling: Yes. KFI's instructions say drilling is required: use a 13/32-inch bit to drill through the bumper, using the plow mount bolt holes as the template. If your machine has a lift kit, larger tires, forward A-arms or tracks, KFI says you may also need a KFI push tube leveling kit. This is the vehicle-side mount only: the push tube, blade and a winch to lift the plow are sold separately. Fitment comes from the KFI application chart for this part and is not guaranteed on unlisted models or years.

What else do I need to plow snow with my Can-Am Defender?
This is the mount only. Add a KFI UTV push tube (Pro 2.0 106300, the older round 105635, or the Pro-V tube kit), a KFI blade, and a winch to raise and lower the plow. A plow pulley keeps the winch line from rubbing.
Does installation require drilling?
Yes. KFI's instructions say drilling is required: use a 13/32-inch bit to drill through the bumper, using the plow mount bolt holes as the template.
Can I leave the mount on all year?
Yes. It sits under the front of the machine, and the push tube pins on and off with hitch pins when you need the plow.
Which KFI blade should I run on my Can-Am Defender?
KFI sells Pro-S steel and Pro-Poly straight blades in 60, 66 and 72 inches, plus the Pro-V plow. Pick a width that clears your tires; the mount does not change with blade size.
