Got the Cargo Box on the ATV
 

To make this machine useful on the farm, it needed carrying capacity, semi-enclused carrying capacity so I had the dealer include the factory Cargo box as a deal sweetner. I finally got this install by dealer only piece of equipment and it's rear chassis stiffeners in place and useable.

Here's the result.

Way better to be able to take all that stuff with you to the work site. The 50 foot logging chain alone would kill you to tote through the woods on a hillside.

Works great.

Very Nice Pat. BTW, I have an 84 Targa, gotta love those Targas.

That's what I sought out. Noisier than I expected, particularly above 80, but they just look right top in or out.

Top off cruising PCH above Santa Barbara last weekend just makes it all perfect.

Pat,
Looks good and will make work that much more fun. I noticed you live in Upstate SC and we are trying to get something organized so check your personal messages for details.

PS That is one big ass bar on that Stihl--what exactly do you cut with that?

we have something similar on my dad's old school honda big red. you may want to invest in a cargo type net that you can stretch over the top of your box......nothing sucks worse than having to backtrack to find a "missing" chainsaw :D

Thanks, I'll be looking.

That's a 28 inch bar, and it's a handful, though that's a 440 Magnum and is rated for up to a 32 inch bar, I'd sure hate to use it much with a bar that large. I have trees that are 10 to 20+ inches in diameter that need taking down, mostly pines, but some tulip trees as well. I'll probably have to hire someone to take some of them out, location and I don't want to destroy all the trees around a big one when it comes down, and it's dangerous for some of them to not top them first. I don't do high climb tree cutting.

The small saw is a real jewel It's a 200T, an arborist saw. weighs about 6 pounds with the lightweight 14 inch bar, and cuts like crazy. Rated at 2.2 horsepower, I use it to delimb trees before I skid them out of the woods, and cutting smaller trees. Because of the top handle, and balance, you can use it one handed easily. It runs much more often than the big saw.

I have friend that's q Stihl dealer and went with his recommendations on the saws, he's been in business for 35 years and pretty much knows his stuff. Very happy with these tools, and a few others I've purchased over the years. The 550 leaf blower is something else. Four stroke engine in that one.

Yep, I was thinking of getting one. I have a huge one for the pickup bed, but need one like I used to have for my motorcycle long ago. I have a bag full of assorted length bungee cords, but the net might be better.
