Nice. How'd you get the front tires over the wheel wells? The backs look pretty tight.

I'm glad to see that can be done because we need to take a Gator from one farm to another about 1:30 hours away to rope some cattle (our horses aren't broke to rope yet, so we use a Gator ), and we need to take a squeeze chute on the flat bed. I thought we were looking at two trips for sure.

I think he was just playing like I was when I put a 14K 25 foot trailer and a 6,500 pound skid steer behind my Chevy S-10 in my avatar.

Thats one way to turn a pickup truck into a dump truck.

I always like trying to see just what I can put into the back of our trucks. The 06 F-250 doesn't have a tool box so that truck is a lot of fun to fill the box. I will never own a short box truck. I keep hoping Ford releases a 9' or 10' bed as factory for us contractors who keep stuffing more and more into these trucks. By the time you put a cross over tool box in an 8' bed you only have 6' remaining. It doesn't take long to fill that small amount of space when you are tossing roofing, compressors, guns and an assortment of tools for a jobsite.

I secure the gator with 4 3000# straps (it doesn't move, at all)......on the front bumper I mounted two small boat rollers (they are made of hard rubber, I cut them down the center length wise and slid them onto the front bumper vertically) so that they are between the top of the bed and the bumper.....I still a few inches between the gator bumper and the rear glass......I have driven with this set up over 7 hours on the interstate without any problems at all (it actually works great).......I get over the wheel wells buy putting it in 4 wheel drive, it goes over with no problem at all.....here's a few pics when we went squirrel hunting a few weeks ago....

1st pick gator with sons little kawi in bed (just a fun pick so nobody have a fit over the kids all over the place)

and this is why we put the gator in the back of the truck.....we were able to put the 4 wheelers in the small trailer and leave the big one at home (dad, cousin and nephew in pic)
