Coors, nice Run & Gun setup. Great idea for use of sled hold bar, but what are you going to hold the sled down on the trailer with now?

[CoorsCaptain]

I knew I forgot something.

WOW I LIKE that. Looks easy and solves alot of issues with accessing everyting without digging in the sled. Do you have any pics without the rods and gear on it so I can copy. Ill make one tomorrow. Looks like just un-bolt at one point?

coors, nice work! Thanks for sharing.

Just on my way out to take kids sledding try to get pics later. I bought the bucket holders from the big C in the club section for $17.88. I used an old snowmobile tie down with mad dog rifle holders for the auger. Pvc pipe for the rods. I clamped the tie down bar to the bumper with u bolts. Everything seems pretty solid. I'm going to need heavier springs for the sled, its a bit of wiegh back there.

That is an awesome set up!

I have that exact same sled and have been thinking about setting it up to use when there is to much snow for the atv. I will definitely be copying that.

What brand is the auger holder?

[stumper]

Looks good, you might want to consider raising the bucket holders a bit higher if you can. They are gonna plow snow pretty bad at that ride hight if its not hard snow.

[ripstick]

Looks like agreat setup.Have any pics in a brighter setting.

[CoorsCaptain]

The auger holders are rifle holders made by Mad Dog I believe?

[Ed Carlson]

Looks good, I like it.

I have a suggestion to keep your reels from icing up from the sled kicking up snow onto them.

Fashion up some sleeves with Velcro or cinch cords on top and bottom and slide them over the tubes.

Then once you put the combo's into the rod holders, slide the sleeve up and over the reels and cinch it tight. Simply undo this step, and slide them back down on the tube when not in use.

Icing the reels is the only concern I see here, that may fix it up for you.

[CoorsCaptain]

Thanks Ed, great idea I never thought about the reels freezing up.

Thanks coorscaptain, Im going to start on it tomorrow. Instead of 2 buckets Im wanting 1 for bucket and 1 for propane tank. Going to have to think about the Main bar though. Dont have the sled bed bar. You've made the wheels start turning though thanks for posting the pics.

[mabr]

I know you have a credit card, because we used it for tons of gas last year mobuiling on our HSO ride! Hey, I actully have an extra sled hold down just like the one he used that I don't use you can have if you want it? You'll just have to spend a little gas to pick it up. Or, if we head to the Lacs some day soon I could give it to you then? Which as a matter of fact I have this Friday off work!

[Surface Tension]

Looks nice.

Yes the covers on the reels to keep them from getting iced and to keep them from flying out of the hold holder when you hit a bump.

Use and nylon stuff sack to cover the powerhead on the auger. It will for sure be covered in snow dust or slush.

[MinnesotaMuskie]

Very nice...I think I will copy that...I have had 4 extra tie downs in my shop for about 5 years.

Gonna copy this for my Storm.

Where and what are the bucket holders? Where do I get some of those?

Thanks,

Lawrence

CoorsCptn is using the maddog bucket mounts. Cabela's recently had them on closeout for under $20.

I use the All-Rite bucket binders and rod holders on my sled. They don't have the large flanges sticking out, makes it easier to trailer and stuff. You might loose a bit of support, but I haven't ever had an issue with the All Rite product.
