I agree with you I have options on my farm and always use the right size tool for the job
If I can do a little job with an ATV and attachments that cost me around $ 15 000 instead of a $ 150 000 tractor or even a $ 70 000 backhoe it only makes sense , Dollars and Cents.
My loader is not the same brand as this it's an older design and I can see some definite advantages to this set up.
Do you tie the two lower a arms togther when useing the loader? if not try it.
Nice idea and I would have to test it before spending thousands when I could just spend the same on a used tractor. Also you are exceeding the tires weight limit, plus the bearing, bushings, etc, are not made for this. It's an ATV, NIT a tractor.
@Reverseflush Sorry buddy, there are grease fittings on all the pivot points. This is for the guy who does not want a tractor, who wants to reach places he would not with a tractor: muddy places, hilly terain. You would be surprised how much punishment an ATV can take. Oh! and when you have completed your job, go ride your used tractor!
@rogev251 So there are grease fittings but the bearings, A-arms, bushings, tires, brakes, engine, tranny, will hold up to some degree but eventually something will give because the ATV is not made for it.
I am skeptical until I try it out but not on my dime.

No grease fittings? That'll wear things fast.

I wouldn't buy it.
