I don't recall ever posting an intro, yeah pretty smart I know.
I've ridden cycles for years, and the occasional ATV, but purchased a 2004 Polaris ATP 330 last spring, to use around our place. My wife and I have ten acres with three horses, two german shepards, and down to one cat.
I picked up a Swisher dump bucket and mount, for scraping pastures and cleaning up manure, but I have to tell you the mount system for the ATP just doesn't cut it. A neighbor fabbed me up a sweet mount on the frame, and to get additional bucket height, another neighbor helped me whack off the lifting arm, and reweld it in a better position for increased raise height.
Our ATV is gonna be primarily for work around our place, rolling lawn, thatch, sweep, since it takes me on average 2+ hours to cut my lawn, then there's trimming as well. Winter I'll have a blade fabbed up, and give it a shot at pushing snow. It did ok with the bucket this winter, but not ideal for moving snow.
That's it for now. C-Ya.
