Currently working on a design for a small flatbed carrier for my yamaha kodiak 700. I'm thinking 1/2" aluminum tubing for the frame/base and have either 1/8" aluminum plate or SS plate for the top and aqua traction material place on it to make it quite. Couldn't find any designs for a atv just polaris ranger,can-ams and other UTV. Has anyone had the same idea or maybe built one?.

I purchased a ATV carrier before the start of hunting season but it just didn't work right for me and my gear so I did some modifications to it to get threw the season and it worked out good.

Junk none lol, usually have my stand with me unless it's already set up or weedeater for cutting trails or my chainsaw. Occasionally, a deer or two. I do things a little different then most people. I've seen them of Polaris rangers but never on a atv. Definitely won't be just a piece of plywood as that would look like shit

My friend built a really nice one out of aluminum. Make sure you don't have anything wired to it as it will suffer from electrolysis and be aware that it conducts heat/cold very well.
