Well, I hope it fares a bit better than that one! pmslAbout twenty years ago an associate of mine purchased one very similar to that one from the Cabelas store.
I trashed it on its very first extraction one late hot August evening with a middle aged stag on board.
I recall it was a very bumpy ride over the hard ground until we lost a wheel. Then a split pin went missing and things just got worse after that
Yes still have it, bought from Cabelas years ago, still going strong, although where possible I use the capstan winch these days.
Just a bit of advise for you. I'd recommend purchasing something similar to this.. Your working life with the cart will be made much easier. Good luck
Sooooo - I bought one in the Bushwear Sale (probably their last as it now shows none in stock) and got 20% off so delivered, it was £256I've decided to make the wheel arms removeable so I have reversed the centre axles bolts and secure them when fitted with locking D-pins. I have also changed the fasteners to stainless steel throughout to make it a little less rust prone. Will report back idc but I needed an option that collapses to go in the car for a local shoot with fallow where I cannot use my quad. Last fallow came out in a wheelbarrow with a flat tyre which was painful -...
I have a very similar " Chinese produced " cart, spent a few days re-engineering most of the stress point and through bolt positions, plus reinforced the brackets and axle attachment. I have a TIG welder so fairly ok to upgrade it using leftover steel I had in the workshop. The carts constructed from thin wall tubing and relies on its bracing to give it the strength. The plus point is the weight saving. I chucked most of the detachable pin clips and replaced them with thumb bolts and doubled up thumb nuts, and found better clip pins for the wheels, as I found the supplied clips could come off in brush. The last modification was to tie in two sections of old safety net across the top and bottom halfs of the frame, this keeps the carcass in position once tied up. It folds up ok into the back of the car with wheels removed. Works well on grass and in the woods, not so great in thick mud areas, but thats expected.
Well that thing certainly puts in a few shifts doesnt it! Fortunately for me the biggest thing I'm likely to move is a Sika stag, or maybe a hind/follower combo!
Thanks mate, I'll keep that in mind. I also happen to have a tig welder so can do some work if needed.
Only a divvy would use solid wheels
Gpt chance to test the cart this morning.
Excellent, lots of ppl say they are rubbish but like you I find them brilliant
