Can this spreader be mounted on the front rack of a 4 wheeler?

I have not mounted it like that, but the mounting hardware that comes with it is pretty universal and my guess or opinion is that it would mount up just fine or with minimal modification.

It is manufactured to work with a rack that has two crossbars - one over the other otherwise the weight when loaded with seed will cause it to sag. Other concerns might be obstructed view and seed getting thrown on the radiator and engine.

I don't see any reason why it isn't possible mechanically, but I think you would be making a mistake by doing so. The spreader is designed to throw seeds to the rear, so if you mount it on the front rack, it will be shooting seeds back toward you. You could rotate it, but then the control rod will not be accessible from the driver's seat. I mounted mine on the rear rack, but I had to make a special support out of rebar to prevent the hopper from tilting. If you're handy with a torch and have the right tools, this is a great unit.

You can. I would recommend adding some extra support brackets to sturdy it up.

Yes it can. In most cases the spreader will need additional support to prevent it flexing, irrespective of front or back mounting.

I was going to mount mine on a Grizzly but my winch was in the way. Plus, you would need an additional support bracket because my rack wasn't sturdy enough. I also had to brace the back bracket with some welded pieces.

you will have to purchase the rack moutable equipment to make it that way. it does not come to you as rack mountable.

Whomever,No, you do not have to use a spreader bar with the 3-beam frame. A net type hammock will work fine.Wrex

yes it can be mounted on front or back racks. I have a Honda 400, it didn't match up to my rack exactly, but with a drill and heavier hardware I got it to work fine. The U bolts they sent were light duty, not heavy enough for a hundred pounds of fertilizer.

Yes, I have mine mounted onto a 4x4 post. I went to my local chain hardware store and bought a 4x4 bracket that is used for wooden decks and just mounted it under the feeder.

im not sure if the seymour DLX panniers can be used on your front rack, i know that the seymour LX which isnt much smaller fits on the front really well. i think its mostly a matter of your rack size

It is sort if a universal fit. Mark the locations of where you want the u bolts to go and drill the holes. This does need to be mounted on a rack though not to the plastic.

Yes, you can mount so that the barrel points strait to the front of the ATV, but not sure I would want to do that as it could interfere with safe egress in an emergency. Technically, I think you could also mount so that gun to the rack so it would point perpendicular to the direction of travel (lengthwise across the back of the ATV).

I have not owned that 4wheeler but i do know the kolpin plow mouting bracket would fit most of the 4wheelers out there. I owned a yamaha kodiak, arctic cat, and a polaris rzr and i was able to mount it on all. And is a great plow for the price.

Yes and it didn't work. Too low to the ground and I was hitting the tires on the ground when I drove through gutters. I bought a Swagman with the bend in the neck where it comes out of the receiver hitch. It raises the bikes up and they don't hit any more plus it's a all designed and constructed rack. I love it.

From my experience with my 4WD, I would say no. Your upper control arms will collide with your frame, plus the studs on the assembly are too short (unless you have some sort of extender to go on them). I sacrificed a half of an inch when I switched to this system but actually much happier with the stability and control over my old Daystar (poly) spacers.

I mounted mine to the roof rack of my truck. But if you got some tube clamps I don't see why you couldn't.

Quick answer: No. But. You might go to an electric/electronics site like MCM or Parts Express to see if they have hardware to modify components for rack mounting.

Yes, but if you don't like the fit on the rack you can use 2x4's w eye bolts to spread it out more. This, however, will reduce the load bearing on the cables.

You need to get a separate piece that mounts to the bike forming the upper bar. Then, you can mount this to a carrier rack.

Follow Paul and Lenny's advice and you'll be fine. I used it with a four bike rack, on a class I U-haul receiver on a Toyota Corolla '95. The only thing that you should be aware, is that by extending the length of the receiver and depending on the vehicle you drive and what you are attaching, you might scrape the road or hit the curb when going over bumps, or backing up against the curb. The welding and strength of the adapter is pretty solid.

The rack is designed to be tilted. It cannot be mounted when straight. The tilt also helps to distribute the weight of your rack modules across the base struts.
