Ooooooh. . What a fantastic machine. . That would be great to use.. From a home garden, all the way to a full blown food plot!
An uncle had one in WV. His ATV wasn't big enough to work it very well. He was going to put in a big food plot, but ended up pretty small & a lot of hand work. What size ATV you plan on using?
The only killer on that might be the IRS on the Sportsman, allowing it to push up the suspension... Just a thought...
If you have level ground & it's been worked before, should do ok. Add some weight to the rear might help too.
I know lots of folks do it, but how do ATVs hold up doing heavy ground engaging work like this? Most that I have seen do not have very heavy frames and I could see an attachment like that bending/breaking things. What does this thing cost?
Seems to me that you would always be riding on the strip you plowed on the pass beforehand. I have seen them at tractor supply and they don't seem very wide.
I've considered buying on in the past, but I can't get past the $400 tag. I can borrow a small 36" disc when I need it for a case of (cheap) beer to pull behind my quad.
The part of this setup that scares me is there are no shear pins....so if you hit a big root or rock at any kind of speed you're probably going to break something on the quad. I wouldn't want to run any kind of ground engaging stuff every day on a quad because it does work them pretty hard. When I pull a disk with mine I put in low range and take it easy...and only do it twice a year.
Is it? I don't know. I load the disc down pretty good with block. And it's almost twice as wide as the groundhog. Seems like the disc should be harder. I honestly don't know though. I wouldn't want to do much more with mine...and it has a good amount of low end thump.
