With the help of Grumpymoe and a few others, I went out to UFA and bought a "calf sled" for $69.50 including tax. Now that's Canadian dollars so for our US friends that would equal $51.00 u.s. give or take a couple pennies. Now that I had that I just added some eye bolts on the side, bought some bunjee cords and away I go!!

Thanks for eveyones help.

Great job VC.....we were having a small discussion on the manitoba forum started by Monophil....he purchased another sled, and wished he had purchased the calf sled at a cheaper price....one thing i mentioned was that on surfaces devoid or almost no snow or ice cover, these sleds pull amazingly well with little effort...pulled my own last weekend partway on a gravel road getting back to the truck....effortless... .and a little tip posted today by Dirtball....take a little silicone spray and dust the bottom of the sled....good tip....have fun this winter VC....Grump...here's mine unloaded

Hey PerchBuster front and rear fender bags PLUS a set of tank bags you the man.

Auger rack on the front? After market tires and rims nice setup. Do you also put on chains on or did you stud your tires?

Nice sled, VC. That's the identical calfing sled I saw at FeedRite Mills here in town, and would have bought if I hadn't got the Jet Sled. Much stronger design than my Jet Sled, built tough, that one is. Good going, you'll like it.

You'll like that calf sled-stands up to lots of abuse.I've been using one for 3yrs.now and I also use it for it's intended purpose. That way I got to claim it on income tax---crafty farmer.....uh,oh maybe I've said too much

If I didn't know better I would almost think those calf sleds are actually otters . I highly reccomend though you add sliders to them especially if dragging across surfaces such as roads . Otter sells a kit but the white nylon ones that they use on snowmobiles are the same thing .

Nice sled, I like the eye hook idea for bungies..........which I will be installing on my jet sled. Thanks
