I got a sweet honda fourtrax r/c car for christmas in 1988/89 it had a weighted tool box on the back and did wheelies. Mine got lost in a move but my brother still has his. My dad always had polaris and still has his sixwheeler from like 2000.
The cart is 15 cubic feet and it has holes to put sides on it. I got it for the amount of clearance it has, we’ll see how it goes. I do like the parked garden cart idea.
Does the outlander still have this hitch on it? If so just have a piece of 3/8" steel with 2 holes ( one for the hitch ball, and one for the ill concieved clevis hole. Use the ball hitch to sandwich it in between and also attach a bolt and nut ( put the bolt in from the top - clearance). Just make it barely longer than the hitch forward already, so there's less chance of clearance issues if the ATV is faced downhill, and the trailer is in a flat. My buddy and I made up a similar clevis pin hitch on my bayou, because there was no clevis pin hole, without removing the hitch ball. Pita. Fixed with some minor engineering. See those bent down ears? Those things won't allow you to turn with a clevis pin hitch like most yard carts, rollers and such.
When I bought my quad it was like $300. It was the first model with PS. The next year, they doubled the price. Our first SxS rzr didn't have it. It wasn't bad until you got on really tight trails and had to turn the wheel more than a quarter turn, then it got bad fast. Needless to say , the new SxS has it
Ed3000 says he parks his garden trailer rt outside the door all winter and it sounds like he has a couple and switches them out. I thought it wws a good idea.
Those yard sales look familiar! I put up with them until the Craftsman trailer said uncle. Haven't had one since with the duely's.
If you are talking about one of those front buckets I would caution you on that as I don't think the front ends are built to take the added weight and for sure it would be tough on the front bearings.
I would just be using it for mulch, figured it was easier than shoveling. Do you think just mulch would be bad for it?
Yep. Same as before. Nothing that can't be fabbed up in short order. This is where practical engineering isn't done. It looks great on the computer screen, and even when it's made in real life. But go to hook up that yard cart and you'll quikly see the issue.
My dad bought a swisher front bucket for the sportsman. They really are not that good, those buckets. Mulch would probably be the most to use it for.
Those buckets are expensive, but its possible we would part with ours. Wish you were closer, because they are heavy and would cost a bit to get from WI to NH. If you're interested, lmk. It just sits around here.
Unless you're scraping mulch from a mulch pile recently dumped on asphalt you really need a tooth bar on the bucket. Cutting into mulch with a straight edge can get ya spinning tires and making a mess real quick. I found a good hay-style tined fork and a dump trailer and/or wheelbarrow was faster in many instances. Especially if it's just a few square yards.
