Pickup Cab Deer Stand Rotates 360 Degrees

Pickup Cab Deer Stand Rotates 360 Degrees COMBINES Miscellaneous Harlan Balgaard has figured out how to legally hunt from his pickup by mounting the cab on top of an old combine What makes it even more unusual is that the cab rotates 360 degrees     No more excuses that you missed a big buck because you couldn t turn around far enough says Balgaard s son Sam who works with his father farming and running a custom repair shop in Ashby Minn     After removing the dashboard from a 1988 Chevy the cab was mounted on the hub of a 38 000 lb -rated semi axle and connected to a wheel inside the cab      The wheel is fixed and the cab rotates around it Balgaard says In the center of the wheel there s a braking system that allows you to lock it in any position     The turntable mechanism is quiet enough that he has completely turned the stand around with a deer as close as 35 yards away     The hunter can roll down either window for a right or left-hand shot Up to three people can sit on the roomy full-size pickup seat It s ideal for different generations to hunt together Balgaard says to introduce young hunters and keep the elderly in the field longer     The first pickup deer stand Balgaard made mounted 14 ft above ground on a trailer made from a cultivator axle It worked so well he s made 3 more pickup stands including the one mounted on a combine     He plans to sell rotating deer stands for $3 000 to $7 000     Check out his website s video to see the deer stand in action     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Balgaard Services LLC 30733 St Hwy 78 Ashby Minn 56309 ph 218 747-2929; www roadhunter360 com
