i also vote for the winch on the quad
but you could also get longer ramps

i always use a ditch or hill to make the loading eaiser

Hammer is serious, he even ratchets the ramps to the hitch...lol

yea, a bulldog (or bullydog?) is what they sell here...more to prevent theft than keep it in

Louisiana Guard Dog, both secures the ATV to the truck bed and prevents theft...

Thanks matt. I like the pic haha. I should just put the winch on the atv and do that. For some reason this ramp I brought is real small.Its not tall so the steep is very high. I have tryed riding it up a couple of times but didnt work. to steep. and about the trailer. i dont have an hitch/ball yet so I would have to buy a hitch and a tailer and then be broke lol. I saw a cheap 1,200 lbs winch at autozone for 150. Seems ok. I dont need a powerfull one just a cheap one i guess. Or maybe buy a better one. Im not sure lol.

Get you a new set of ramps. Mine are 94" long and rated for 1500 lbs. and were all of $79 for the pair at Tractor Supply. Look at the angle of my ramps in the pic I posted. If you can't drive up that angle then you shouldn't be driving a 4 wheeler, seriously, you could end up getting seriously injured out there.

Good idea for a winch on any ATV as well, but you don't need one for getting it into the truck bed...

Louisiana Guard Dog is cool, that video is awesome, best part "just bounce and look to see if your ***** lined up" lol

i'd buy one but theft where i live is slim also i don't have a tool box so i can get the atv all the way in and just lock the tail gate. might get the one that goes on the trailer tho

atv theft is a big deal here, my cousin just bought a 550 artic cat and parked it in his garage, came home from church last sunday and it was gone....he rode it off of the ramps into the garage (was waiting on insurance)

Best investment I ever made for the ATV. I can leave the thing in the truck bed overnight and be reasonable assured it's gonna be there in the morning and my ramps can't go bye-bye either. I simple put them under the ATV and have the upright go through the ramps so they are there until I unlock it and lift the upright off.

Also, for putting the ATV in the bed I can have it secure within about 2 minutes of driving it up on the bed. NO ratchet straps to deal with - I hate ratchet straps!!!

It WAS $89 direct from the company or at Cabelas when I got it (mid 2006) but the company sold the rights to a big ATV accessory company (Kolpin) and the price has steadily risen...
