ATV-Mounted Dump Box

ATV-Mounted Dump Box ATV S Rich Ferfecki didn’t like pulling a small wagon behind his ATV when doing chores around his place So he unbolted the box from the trailer and mounted it on back of the ATV converting it to a handy dumping cargo box     The dump box measures 3 1/2 ft long and 2 1/2 ft wide and has 1-ft high sides It mounts on a pair of rails bolted to the ATV’s rear cargo rack     “I use it on my Suzuki 212 4-wheeler to haul everything from firewood to sand gravel chicken manure and so forth It’s much more convenient to use than pulling a wagon ” says Ferfecki “I don’t have to worry that I might drive around a tree and forget the wagon is behind me And I have a much better view when backing up Being able to dump the load is also a big advantage ”     He bolted a pair of shelving rails onto the cargo rack and then bolted 2 angle iron brackets on the rails and 2 more on the dump body A 3/4-in dia steel rod goes through both brackets to connect the dump body to the ATV and to serve as a pivot point     “It’s really handy to use I researched the internet but couldn’t find anything on the market like it ” says Ferfecki “Once the dump body is full I open the tailgate and pull 2 pins from the brackets that hold the rod Then I walk back and open the tailgate and then push down on back of the body to dump the load It’s big enough to hold 2 wheelbarrows worth of firewood or 1 1/2 wheelbarrows worth of gravel ”     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Rich Ferfecki 554 Green Pond Rd Rockaway N J 07866 ph 973 625-3305
