I Need Some Opinions(atv question)

[weezy]

I have a honda big red 250 three wheeler that I recently bought.I use it for hunting only and have hauled 2 deer with it.The first was a decent sized doe and was easy to load on the rear rack with my buddy.The second was my buck which was big bodied and it took 3 people to load it on the back rack

My question, is there any way I can make it so I can load a big deer by MYSELF?Many times I hunt by myself and dont have help to load.

What are some of the ways you load deer on your atv with ease?

Could'nt you devise a platform that would attach to the hitch similiar to the ones on vechiles. Just a thought. You would'nt have to lift it so high then. Good Luck. aging

Put a winch cable above a high tree limb, winch the deer up and drive under the hanging deer and then lower the winch. If you dont have a winch then just rig up a gabril(sp) to load it on the rack

Maybe you could rig up something like this on the rear or make something close.http://www.arkansasduckhunter.com/atvloader.asp

Here is a link to a product I saw on WildTV. http://hookarack.com/ It uses a winch to lift the deer onto the front rack.

My buddy ties a heavy rope around the deer's neck and then ties it to the hitch and just drags them all the way out with his honda 4 wheeler.No lifting.

Could you use one of those plastic deer sleds and just drag it?

I was really wanting to get this http://www.discountramps.com/atv-deer-loader.htm

BUT I dont know if it would make the 3 wheeler tip back any with a deer loaded on it?It looks like it works fine in the video but theres alot less front weight on a 3 wheeler.

Thats the same one I posted if you go farther down the page but the link you have is a hell of alot cheaper . Have someone sit as far to the rear on yours and see how it handles the weight.

I might try it and see if it works.Today I stood on the very edge of the rear rack and it didnt bring the front of the 3 wheeler off the ground any and im 210 pounds which is right in the ballpark on what a buck would be.

I built a small box trailer similar to the ones they use with garden tractors. It's low to the ground and you can slide a deer easily into it. The last buck I shot weighed 160 pounds field dressed and I had no trouble loading it and I am 66 years young Built my own because they want to much money for a store bought one,
