    Old's man game hoist 4 quads /UPDATE Picks

    Old back is no fun so.... Tested to 630 lbs for 20min. Swings a round. no I did not set it down on my bike. Should make moosin easer.



    All aluminum. 1.5" heavy wall pipe wraped up ready to go 20lb


    Finally got to use it. Didn't have to put it on the bike, but sure nice to lift in to the truck. Saving a old mans back.

    May want to have a large plate (foot) on the bottom so it does not sink in soft ground. Could just be held in place with a sleeve and a quick pin.

    i would think a 12" by 12" plate

    Yup it's in the works. Ran short of 3/16" plate aluminum. It's all made from scraps.

    A moose antler would do.
    I'll be home before winter. It's too cold to sleep out.

    Excellent idea, ya really got me thinking! Another thought would be a pulley on the front rack and use your winch. K

    You gonna use it to load a big critter into your quad trailer? Putting that kind of weight on the back of your quad will not be a good idea.
    Growing old is unavoidable. Growing up is highly overrated....

    Heck of a good idea there MRP! Yes, a bigger plate on the ground would help it from sinking into soft ground. And, if your front rack was empty of gear, a guy could lift a quarter up as high as possible, hopefully to a large stump or a high bank of sorts, roll the quarter off your rear lift and tie it down so it won't fall off the stump, then turn the quad around and roll a quarter onto the front rack too? I hope to see a few pic's this fall with your new lift in Action!
