ATV front Ice Auger Rack

[aiathompson]

I’m in the process of purchasing a new Polaris Sportsman ATV. I’m looking for an Ice Auger Rack for the front and having a little trouble finding one to purchase online. I’m not real interested in making one, but would prefer to buy one that I can just mount. Any suggestions where to find one online or what brand to search for. Any good, bad or ugly ones out there??

Look at Digger Anchor company. I have two of their ice auger racks, one for the snowmobile and one for the wheeler.

I have the 'digger' brand auger rack on my snowmobile, and it works great. They will mount to a wheeler or snowmobile. It cam-locks down pretty tight. Easy to use. I like this carrier a lot.

Yep, digger is the best one out there. On their HSOforum or mills seems to carry them as well.

I have the polaris front rack extenders on ours. To the extenders, I've mounted the mad dog auger carrier. It works well. The auger is high enough up that I can fit all my electronics below it. They are right in my view and not bouncing around in the sled behind me. I like this setup. Keeps the expensive stuff where I can see it and how it's riding.

The mad dog holder also works pretty good to hold tools and deer stands when you aren't fishing, or can be taken off.

Another vote for the digger auger rack - It locks VERY securely and it does it fast and easy. I tried gun rack styles and a homemade one and didn't like them because I was using a bunch of bungee cords and the auger still moved around. I can have the auger off to drill or locked into place in 5-10 seconds with the digger.

I think mine is a Mad Dog.

I used to have the Madd Dog brackets until the Velcro straps broke. bought the Clam brackets last year and the held up well. Very secure mounting to the front extender rails on my Polaris. They have heavy rubber straps which are easy to put on or take off in cold weather. You should be able to buy on Clam's HSOforum, got mine @ Cabela's last year.

Digger Auger rack here. Its so easy a caveman could do it.

One flip of the latch and your on your way to drilling holes.

You can do it with your choppers on.

When it comes time to go or move, its one flip of the latch and your on your way.

In my case the Nils gets racked for every blade(test/adjust)change.

Can't say enough on how the digger makes this easier for me.

Digger all the way. I also love the digger anchors for my boat.

Sweet! Have to look into one of those!

I am wondering if people have issues with the gear case on the power head over time when not supported at both the power head and blade.(see red arrows) I am looking at building an auger rack for my snowmobile, but I am worried about gear case life on my new Lazer Mag Pro. Any feedback would be great!?!?

Those Digger's look nice! I have the Clam universal set that's nice and heavy duty, and affordable.

I was using a auger rack that didn't support the powerhead (similar to digger) and had the adapter that attaches the flighting to the powerhead come loose from the pounding. The same thing would happen with a Digger in rough terrain... I'll be sticking to a rack that supports the powerhead from now on.

Anybody else have trouble with the Diggers cracking in really cold (-30) temps? We had one guy with us in Canada who finished his trip using two forked sticks cut from the woods.

In the pic with blue bearcat you can see the L bracket the supports the powerhead.
