4 wheeler attachment

[Axel's]

Does anybody know where I can find a attachment to a 4 wheeler that fits into the receiver and can carry a fish around? A customer wants one, my catalogs arent helping me.

It must be a very big fish....

I need to go fishing where he is!

Are you talking about something that will hold a 5 gal pail with fish, or just 1 large monster of a fish? If just one fishhh I will have to agree with the last post, and want to knnow where that guy is fishing. They sell the attachments for pails at shade tree in Big Lake, or over the net at their web site.

I meant a fish house (portables)

A word of caution - you may overload the rear springs with this kind of set up. I made a rack that I could carry my Otter size house for the back of my Sportsman 400. I did this so I would not have to trailer my ATV and could just carry everything in the pickup. It worked, but it overloaded the rear springs. Eventually, they were pretty sacked out and I ended up replacing them. Now, I tow my fish house.

If you were to place this wieght further behind on a receiever type mount, the levering action may help to wear out the springs even quicker.

It depends what type of portable they have. The manufactures of each house have their own hitch that hooks directly to the sleds of the houses. I built a hitch for my Yukon, cause I'm too cheap to pay $50 for the store bought one.

That would make for a squirrely handling ATV. My idea is to go to a rack extension, something that would make the rear rack wide enough to accomodate the house...And still keep much of the weight over the wheels. Unless they want to counter balance the front with weight...?
