or the 'pay no attention to the red on my neck, I'm so fist a cayded' version:

 

Is that remnants of a certain air ballon E-bay should be filled with "special pricing" on those "parts"

 

We had a heavy snowfall the other day, here is a photo of my snow removal using my ATV with a front loader. The 4-6 inches of snow was very heavy, this machine may save me from getting a heart attach or more aches than I currently have. we still have snow this morning but at 38 it’s melting. Deer looking for something to eat..

 

I'm not sure I've ever seen an ATV with a front loader before. That's pretty cool.

 

Was just thinking the same thing
I'm sure I need one

 

Okay, apparently we all need the geek details on the loader. How is the install/removal? Are the controls integrated nicely or awkward on the quad? How does it drive with all that weight up front?

 

I don’t understand people. Especially those that live in hail storm areas with a garage…$60K truck outside, $5K crap filling up the garage.

yes I know some garages are too short for the bigger trucks but come on and do a lil renovation then

 

Amen!

 

or...if you park outside your garage/on street & have unsecured weapons in the vehicle.

 

You need 5000



and a purple jagged line

 

Wonderful…
The air will be chewy

 

Take a respirator.

 

F@)k,

screen cleaning & replacement sweet tea ....

 

We shall see…”food” and “safety” are two words not used together. Some peers were there last week and said the hotel is good , but they also talked about delicious Thai food…

 

I did a lot of research on available front loaders. Several manufacturers that make a single and dual winch system. They have limited capabilities with regard to weight and lifting. I have a wild hare, https://www.wildharemfg.com/. I bought a package deal they had so front loader, front forks and box blade. Box plate requires a 3 point system for mounting. I showed the hydraulic and wild hare systems to my wife and she said to go for the wild hare due to lifting ability. There are front suspension locks you put on the ATV that keep you from blowing them out. You have to be careful, but with any equipment that is the norm. With a heavy load of rocks in the loader you are not going to go blasting down a hill with the bucket high. It took some time for me to get used to the setup but now it’s second nature. I also filled the tires up more.
Controls are just a two switch system. The hydraulic system is electric and I can do the 100 ft driveway snow removal on one charge. Also doing the culdesac Road out front required me to swap a charged battery to complete that.
There are John Deere tractors that do the job, maybe more $$ depending what you get. My neighbor has one. He did not get his out to help the other day tho. He can do mowing with his also.
I assembled the system by myself 99%, but my son was over one day and had him help me with the frame mount.
I have swapped out the front loader and bucket and that is easy. Putting on the box blade is a little more time. In the videos, they show having the box blade on to balance the weight. I don’t like the extra length. I did use the box blade to smooth out the far back section before I planted the grass.
I have not removed the whole system from the ATV, and most likely will not do it.
I have a Honda Rancher with PS and automatic transmission. I highly recommend the automatic trans and PS. They recommend a 400cc or bigger ATV.
Wild hare does Have a blade for the system but loader is good for piling the snow. It can lift the bucket high for dumping. I have a snow blade for my riding mower, but have not used it yet. I bought it a year before I got the ATV and systems.
I think I answered most questions.

 

or just leave the garage door open, tailgate down and let the back end hang out!!!

 

They're here.... and using various stealth systems. Be vigilant.

I'm surprised the loader can lift that much, and doesn't just rip out of the frame. Do your front springs do anyhing, or are they completely squashed down like collars?
