auger carrier

What is anybody using for a dependable auger rack. Koplin gear grips, Mad Dog, other??? Mixed reviews on a number of these.

[LMITOUT]

I'm using three of the Koplin gear grips and it holds my Jiffy very secure. It just takes a little adjusting when mounting for the first time to get them in the right spot and then you're set. I put a bungee cord over the motor head when transporting but it really isn't needed as they hold the auger snug.

I have a couple of Koplin rifle holders mounted on the front rack of my Suzuki and they hold the ice auger great! They have a couple straps that help hold the auger in place.

Inexpensive and sturdy...

Mad Dog auger specific rack on my Honda. Very secure and comes with straps. I love it.

I put on Mad Dog last year and I'm not really impressed.

I had a little extra time one day and made my own

Ah, love the picture - Can't wait for the hard water.

Got a Moose on mine and love it. Use it for the auger and all sorts of tools and stuff in the Summer.

Get a Ryan's Auger mount. Bolts to front rack, heavy plastic coated metal, not fragile in cold plastic junk other use. Made in Minnesota.Have no problem bouncing around on ice with it.

Don't laugh. I have a piece of plywood on my back rack and I screwed heavy duty "U" hooks in and I use a bungee strap when going across the lake at faster speeds. When hole hopping there is no need to strap it down.

I don't think Ryan's auger mounts are available anymore, or any other products, I thought I heard last year they weren't around anymore. They did have a good line of stuff.

I know this was brought up last year. At that time, Ryan's site wasn't accessible. That's too bad, Ryan was a great guy with a great product.

Try [NOTE FROM ADMIN: Please read forum policy before posting again. Thank You] I purchased one of their all metal racks two years ago. The racks are meant to bolt to the back frame of the ATV. They are suppose to match up with the bolts where the back rack attaches to on most ATVs. This did not work for me on my 01 Polaris 500ho. So I slightly modified them and welded them on top of my front bumper and they work great as I have a little more weight on the front tires when going through deep snow.

I used the mad dog auger holder. When it came I was disapointed and thought that the velcro straps where going to be a joke. Tried it anyways since I didn't know of anything else to try, and can say that it did the job very nicely. Even left the auger in the holder on the back rack when hauling it down the highway. Never had a problem.

I made my own out of 1x6 lumber. cut a long piece then screwed two short pieces on the ends, put V notches in them. use two bungees to hold the whole thing in place, best part nothing perm on the wheeler to take off every year.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think that I am going to give a shot at making my own out of metal or wood.

[Chode2235]

Can anyone post up a couple pictures of ones you have made. I am curious to see some more details. Thanks.

Here is one I made a couple of years ago it worked really good for me. Carried auger, depth finder, battery, and any thing else I wanted to throw in it.

I have the mad dog ones. was "on sale" at gander last year. works great. little difficult to put on the sportsman's rack, but it works.
