Default Groundhog ATV Loader

Has anybody had any feedback on this accesory for your ATV? I am considering one but haven't seen one anywhere yet but the list of attachments for it have grown a lot this last year. Here is a link to a page on it; http://www.garage-toys.com/grounhogatvl.html
Thanks in advance!

I've seen this attachment in person and it's actually pretty impressive for what it is. They were loading dirt from a trailer and grading a lawn with it. I could see if you were using it a lot, it would pay for itself in no time.

Thanks for the reply Yama4x4, Where abouts in the country was this? Before I spend $2000.00 on one I want to see one & maybe use it a bit.

Swisher makes a similar front bucket setup. It's a mechanical dump, and doesn't have the range of motion of the Groundhog, but it may be a cheaper alternative. Depends on how and what you'll be doing with it. Here's the link for Swisher:

Thanks rubidude, I already have the swisher sub frame for my snow plow but wanted more lift than the Shwisher loader.

rjrtools... How do you like the Swisher plow? I'm curious as to how it mounts. The back bolts into the rear hitch, doesn't it? How about the front end?

I read a message of yours from a while back asking about the Groundhog Loader ATV accessory. I'm wondering if you ever got one and if so, do you recomend it?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone used one of these yet? Yeah, the $2000 is pricey but it is cheaper than a tractor or loader.

I haven't seen anybody who has the Groundhog, but I have been using the Swisher Bucket for about 2 years now and it is great. I would say it is more like a powered, self-loading wheel barrow than a tractor loader.
