ATV's and Quads

[Charlieh]

i need to find the right size mounting ball so i can put my lightforce spotlight on my ram mount on the handle bar,

 

this is what you really need on it

RAM Mounting Systems UK - Drinks Cup Holder - RAM-B-132R

Why not simply make a light bar for your front rack and mount the lightforce on that?

[Charlieh]

cos i have the ram mount already for my gps, and i will be using it for shooting with, so it would be handy to have it close to hand to move, i could just by the dedicated ram mount spotlight but that about 630,000 candlepower less than my lightforce, i could always take the two of the landy and put them on the quad

 

 

also when you fitting the beacons to the top of that light bar?

[Andy Collins]

When the xenon beacon comes (soon) it will be fitted, maybe not to the light bar, not sure yet. Not sure whether or not to run a separate battery for the microwave.

This is what we use, dead handy for getting the chipper where the truck cant tow it and drives nicely onto the back of the transit. Only downfall is its only 2wd but its fast!!

Nice Siimon

Since Stevie started ranting on and on and on and on about his wee chipper, I've felt somewhat at a loss as where to go next in the micromachines department, so I decided to "design" a brush fork for the quad. Now I'm no welder, fabricator whatsoever, so my brother followed the sketchy scribbles on the back of a fag packet and made it up in his lunch breaks. Just sprayed it up with cold galvanising paint to inhibit rust.

And here it is fitted up, tested lifting ability last night, and it picked up about 15stone with no effort at all

Very Good . I think you should be working for Monster Garage . A very cool nifty idea .

Sorry to bump an old thread, but incase anyone is considering running an ATV for work purposes get insurance quotes first, the insurance premium for my replacement ATV is crazy (with a £500 excess despite being datatagged and ground anchored in a locked building) its more than my business, PL insurance and house insurance combined, and over double my Landy insurance,

 

but then again, its a awesome bit of kit

 

Charlie, the ATV thing is something I'm looking into. If it's not a rude question, what did they quote, and how much is the ATV worth?

 

Cheers,
