Default Treestand carrier for Polaris

I just purchased a 2006 sportsman 500 EFI and im looking to buy a treestand carrier that mounts on the back.

Was wondering if anyone here has bought and installed one on the 06 models. If so what brand was it and did it fit without any modding.

Thanks

Good luck. I'm still looking for one for my 05 model. I bought an ATV Totem yesterday thinking it may fit, but not sure yet. I can't believe Polaris does not make one. Mine is a camo 500 Sportsman - obviously made for hunting - and they do not have a treestand holder for it!

I've got a call in to the company that makes the ATV Totem (866-789-1507) because I want to ask them which model Polaris' they fit. Bass Pro Shop website lists a universal and a Polaris version of the device. I don't think the one I bought at the Nashville BPS listed a version. I did not notice this until this am when I went looking for company info...

Thanks for the info dawgfan1. I hope you get it worked out.

I was hoping someone had found a treestand carrier that fit and would post the info here.

That way it would save me from buying one that dosn't fit.

Let me know if you finally get a carrier mounted.

I may try this one later made by American Manufacturing

American Manufacturing ATV Tree Stand Carriers and Gun Rack are Strong, adjustable two-point mount. Carry your tree stand and gun in style.

Our Original Tree Stand Carrier is strong, easy to install and less expensive than other carriers of its kind on the market. It is a two point mount, adjustable from side to side (depending on the width of the rack on your machine) and top to bottom. The arms are covered with a soft foam material to eliminate rattling. You can add a pair of gun holders that are also adjustable on the carrier.

Mounts to existing back rail. Requires special bracket for use on composite racks.

The ATV Totem mounts fine on my 05 Sportsman. It requires a few holes to be drilled for max stability. If your 06 rear rack is the same, I suggest checking it out. It looks similar to the one you linked. Totem runs $60 most everywhere, but be sure to get Polaris mounting kit!

Thanks again for the info dawgfan.

Im pretty sure the rear racks are the same on the 05 and 06 models.

I sure will checkout the ATV Totem sounds like it will work pretty good.

Thanks
