It's a 2004 Avenger, the tracks reduce the ground pressure to about a pound per square inch and can supposedly push through a couple feet of powder snow.  A few years ago my two hunting partners and I dragged a couple cow elk through several miles of snow covered forrest roads closed by drifts in the Colorado high country without a problem or worry.  The down side of wide snow tracks is you don't want to run them in mud, they throw the stuff off the track and forward into the vehicle and all over you.  I found out the hard way, everyone but me was laughing.

I never have come up with any good mods.  I hate all the auger racks I've seen in stores and I don't have the tools to fabricate one. 

I just toss everything in the sled and strap it in.  Less than ideal for ice trolling.

That is awesome. I never thought of it and kids ATVs are for sale pretty cheap on FB postings and CL.

Here's the King Quad with the recently finished pin hitches to tow the sleds in tandem.



I fabed a T-bar for the front to go into my 2" receiver under my rear winch. Mounted a heavy duty hinge to it.



The rear has two plates to reinforce the edge of the sled. Welded the hinge to the top plate and bolted them together to sandwich the sled between them. Strong as hell and ZERO flex. Worked better than I had planned. I have a Jet Sled Magnum to put behind that as well so it should take it no problem.

Thanx. I'm loving how it came out. It was getting a lot of looks and comments this weekend. Then they saw the machine towing it and how it was setup with winches front and rear with a single rocker switch. Heads were being scratched.

Taken yesterday. I got the hitch rack thingy for Christmas 2 years ago and it works great, I still bring the jet sled out, this makes it easy to load in and out of the trailer or truck without handling the gear a bunch of times


online photo sharing

In the truck after the day was done, getting ready to offload

Here is a peek inside the trailer without the wheeler in it
