Bryant, When you decide on the design that you want, you need to come over and we will stick some metal together. Here's the one I built for Mandi's old Prairie, that was installed at a later date on a Foreman. We ended up removing the chain, and just using some quick links with swivel snaps, and we put a rubber mat over the bottom expanded metal so that the dogs would not hang a toe nail. Also put a piece of wood covering the rear bar, so that a dog would not hang a leg while jumping off the back of the rack.     |

She usually only carried three dogs on it. Here it is in use on one of the Foremans, the rack has since been taken off and now belongs to a friend in central Texas. With the rear rack, and front platform on the Foreman, we could clip 6 dogs, when needed.  |

I use to have this one on the front with a piece of plywood also attached to the front rack. Could fit 3 cur dogs pretty easy.  |

Better watch out for that expanded metel on the bottom. I would suggest putting a piec of carpet on it. If you don't the dogs will rip a toe nail out .

It takes the pressure off the rack, I snapped the factory rack 3 times before installing the shock. It also helps with the ride when you have three or four dogs or a big hog in it. |

this is before paint and plywood floor, but had this made by a local shop. I'll get a more updated pic with dogs loaded. It's pretty light and can load several dogs at a time. Plus the cut out over seat allows for hauling a passenger on seat if needed. I have also hauled bulldog and a passenger on the rack itself no problems. Bigger dogs (bulldogs) in the side slots and couple curs in the middle.   |

I really like these platforms but what is the depth of them? and I am curious about the back of them, some are open and some have bars, if you had to build another what would you have?

Here is mine. A little big...  ...but it works. I need to build a shock like Mike has but other than that it's hauled quite a bit of weight. The 4 wheeler was equipped with a bed when I got it. I don't think Polaris even makes the ATP (all terrian pickup) anymore. I removed the old bed and had a buddy build this box for me.   Can't leave out my wifes pup....Copper.  Here was the first box that I built on the original "bed" that came on the 4 wheeler.  |

Haven't had many problems going through trees or the brush. I got use to making wider turns in tight quarters. It's only two inches wider than the back tires on each side.
I wouldn't recommend making it as big as I did. With a heavy load it sags pretty good in the back.

Chris, when I finally get a wheeler I will take ou up on the help....I like the way the one maverick posted but I would want it reversed....as in follow the contor of the seat but load from the rear. Does that make sence? that way I could pad it and the kids could ride behind me and kinda be supported/surrounded by the rack BUT if I did it that way then the ole lady may not fit |
