Pulling a sled with quad bike

[Happy stalker]

Looks great, nice tracked quad too

Thanks, I take the tracks off for the summer then back on for the winter months

This is the small trailer that I built everything fits comfortably in my trailer it goes everywhere that my quad goes, it works well for me, there is a post somewhere else on this forum.

I did something similar with a small Iron Ox plastic trailer for a FE opportunity that never came off. The chassis broke down into 2 sections, the wheels were removable and the tipping plastic body attached with quick release clips. Fitted on top of the quad easily in my IFOR P6e and was put together in seconds.

That Glade Deer sled with the wheels looks the business. £725 though!
Think I’ll try and add an A-frame and hitch to my existing sled first and see how I go with that.

I get it but I figured it will last a lifetime whereas anything dragged will need replacing and most 'normal/farm' hill trailers are too high sided or not 'off road' enough to be extracting reds off the hill in Scotland, I'm too old to be dragging them to a track (unless downhill!)

I used an Iron Ox down south, was grand for farmland and forestry tracks

Hi, your trailer looks perfect! How can I view your post about it, please?

I've only tested this on a smallish Fallow so far but worked quite well.An alternative to sledge ?

An alternative to sledge ?

In steep country heading uphill with any weight on the rear end can be fraught with danger. I had a personal experience of flipping a quad back over my head with a 'too heavy for angle' weight over the rears. It takes seconds.

I think if you searched for what I have posted it is in the equipment section

Get a slee sled, tough as nails and can fit alot of deer in them

Aye they are great bits of kit been using them for years, only downside is the runners don’t last to long on forest roads that’s why I built a small off road trailer to mount the sled on while pulling on forest roads

Yeah used one for years also, have been looking for ideas to do exactly what you've done as once you get a pile of red in them they are a pain in the arse on some of the steeper bike tracks. I like the idea of the glade deer management frames that break down small to avoid needing a bigger trailer, might make something similar to fit the bigger slee sled

Aye I am fortunate enough that everything fits in my trailer and room left for carcasses

Hello,
Just got to this thread, @£725 our JS1Trailer(r) is top quality though. That said, we also do two different Universal Hitches as well that are a great half way house for occasional and less demanding extractions. I would invite you to have a look at them on the website, www.gladedeermanagement.co.uk both attach directly to the JS1 or JSr and to a hitch, stops the sled catching up with you down hill!!.......

Slee sledge great for soft ground, worth wrapping the deer up well in tarps if the ground is boggy, they can often fill with water when the going gets sloppy.
