Special Working ATV Help

[treeplanter56]

I am in need of a ? ATV to do spraying on Bedded forestery land. The wheel width must be at least 5 ft wide, with a clearance of at least 24 inches. The speed we would be running would 2 to 5 mph. Would have a 20-30 gal tank mounted. Is there something out there that is already available or do I need to customize an exsiting platform. If I should go with an exsisting platform what type /model/size would u reccomend and where do I go for the custom equipment.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Welcome to QC !! Sounds like your need a S/S I dont believe most 4x4`s have 60" width I could be wrong !!

ive never seen one that wide either. maybe 50 " at the most and i dont think anybody makes a quad with 24 inch clearance. it would have to be modified some how

Just a guess but you might be able to get into the can-am s\s and contact Gorilla for the lift to get your clearance. Between that and tires you might get your height about perfect

Forgive me but what is an s/s?

this would be more for what you are looking to do, but again, the height is less than you need.

Arctic Cat - Prowler HDX 700i

If I can get the clearance is their such a thing as wheel spacers and if so will the bearing etc hold up using these. I use this type of spacers on my farm tractors. I could have them fabricated at a local shop.

[oxidized_black]

yes there are wheel spacers ... i'm not sure how far you can extend, but they are available.

Here is what I think would work best. A long travel Kit on a ATV with a 6" lift and arched A arms. Then run some skinny agricultural tires on it. No need for a SXS because with the long travel and lift you can at least fit 30" tires under it. I have about 18" of ground clearance on mine with no lift and 30" tires. A long travel lift will also make the ATV more stable.

It may be a little expensive Lift is about 2K Axels 2K and tires/rims 1K plus the cost of the ATV.

Here is an example only picture skinny tires on there.

If you need more info let me know.

[treeplanter56]

That look like it will work. What is the width from tire center to center. Where can I find the "stuff" to set a few machines up like this. What type of machine do you think would hold best up under day after day use. Keep in mind the speed will be slow, 3 to 5 mph , the terrain is flat (except for the bedded area you are riding on) often muddy, with lots of logging debris.

[swampcat07]

Not sure on the center to center width but these guys would know. The ATV in the picture is 48" wide so the wheels center to center should be around 52" +/- but then you can add 1" or 2" wheel spacers or they can custom build the a-arms longer before you order the axels.

Home - MUDTECHinc Custom ATV Fabrication Should be able to hook you up with the lift and axels.

I am being partial but an Arctic Cat Diesel would be awesome for this job and you might even be able to run a bio diesel. At first I would have suggested a low cc gas machine like a 400 but then you might need additional power to turn large tires if you choose to use 30" plus tires.

Let me know if you are going to place an order with the Mud Tech Guys the phone numbers on their site are the easiest way to get a hold of them and tell them swampcat sent ya.
