Bobsled Turns ATV Into Winter Workhorse
This new scaled down replica of an old-style, horse-drawn bobsled turns your ATV into the ideal winter workhorse for woodlot work and other chores, according to the manufacturer.
Prescott Mouldings & Wood Products says its "Pied Piper Bobsleds" are designed for use with any 4-WD ATV equipped with a 300 cc or larger engine. Like old-style bob-sleds, the units feature hardwood construction throughout, and the carriage rides just 15 in. off the ground for easy loading.
Four 4-ft. runners, two per side, are made from QT 425 plate steel which has 10 times the wear resistance of normal steel. Independent runner suspension increases load handling stability and the four runner steering system makes it easy to maneuver in tight quarters.
Front and rear runners hook together with adjustable cross chains, providing a mini-mum length of 8 ft. and a maximum length of 10 ft., with bunk space of 50 and 70 in., respectively. Length can be increased by substituting standard chain with a longer one.
Features an overall width of 46 in. with inside bunk width of 42 in. and easily handles a half cord of wood. The sleds come apart with pins for quick and easy storage or transport in a pickup. Can also be used with a snowmobile.
Sells for $1,285 (Canadian).
