Anybody else with an ACE that plows find the shear pins to be insanely weak? Today was my first time plowing with it, only about 4 or 5 inches but it was mixed with sleet and freezing rain so it was pretty heavy stuff. I broke both ends of the shear pin by merely plowing on my yard. The first side broke when I barely hit a planter by the mailbox, I was moving at maybe 1 or 2 mph. The second side broke just plowing the lawn, I did not hit anything. My ACE is brand new, so I was being very gentle on it as I am learning how to use it.
I ordered a "heavy duty" shear pin off of ebay today and will go the local dealer to get a stock one tomorrow. My old big bear had a cheapie plow that was what I would consider light duty compared to the glacier pro. When I assembled the glacier pro I kept thinking that this system must be 2 or 3 times stronger than my old plow, it certainly weighs 3 or 4 times as much. That plow took some really horrific hit that almost took me off the seat without any major damage.
This is the "heavy duty" pin I ordered https://www.ebay.com/itm/Extra-Heavy...cb72%7Ciid%3A1
Has anybody had the same issue with their plow or experience with the heavy duty pin?
