fish house is too heavy for the wheeler???

[Iceman1026]

Ok so I got a new fish house hooked it up to the wheeler and is squatted all the way to the frame. I have seen people with a dolly that the tongue of the fish house goes on it has ski's on the bottom then it hooks to the wheeler so there is no weight on the wheeler. Does anyone know where to get them ?

Look up fish house ski on web, but remember that it rides hard on the ice so it's hard on frame. Drive slow and the handling is OK.

I can't seem to find them right now, but there are also kits available that you can buy to link your rear A-arms together underneath the frame to prevent squatting.

Road dog big foot ski for towing and they go for $300. Monster outdoors dot com where I found them.

Seen that in action, pretty slick deal.

I have a similar issue. My wheeler has a solid axle- non independant. I'm worried about bending or breaking my axle. Any idea how much weight they can handle? I can't quite lift the tongue of the house off the ground by hand.

Take a look at page 22 of this forum.

Wheel house front jack ideas for ATV pull.

Some fixes have been covered here , but you might like to look at some of the others.

They brought up some good points about the pros and cons of different ideas- good luck!

I think this is what Rube was referring to.

Good ideas. Sand bags in the back should work for me. Thanks!

I got the removable brackets custom made from a guy in the North West metro a few years ago. Used them a couple times with the double axle trailers and they work great.

As far as rear axle weight limits it depends on your unit. I know my old 700 polaris had about 1,000 towing miles on it and it never had any frame or axle issues. It hauled the 4K pound camper without issue.

Check the ATV Forums it has been discussed an couple of times. "Independant Rear Sagging"

I put an IRS lockout by Kolpin on 2 years ago now. Has worked great since. No issues with towing or the wheeler.
