Not my buggy, but my experiences with these is that they're gonna rattle...

It's hard to tell in that photo, but on my old foreman I had a Kolpin drop-rack with a drop down gate on the back. I loved the rack, but it did rattle, which was really anoying. Unless I needed to use it to hold something like a bucket or saw, I would leave the gate open so it wouldn't rattle. It was a very handy thing for carrying stuff. There are types without the drop down gate that probably wouldn't rattle, but the gate is nice to have. I also would use a bungie cord to hold it tight to prevent the rattle.

Hey @Tom_C several years ago I saw this front rack system posted somewhere on this forum, thought it looked pretty cool, but I can't remember who posted it maybe @JACKAL or one of the other members remembers it. Might work great especially if you have a plow for your P5.

Hey, thanks. Looks nice, and it could probably be connected to the warn front plow connection I have. I've seen kits to add a bucket kit to the warn plows, but if I recall it was crazy expensive.

Lol not me, closest I came to Rube Goldberg inventions was added suspension seats to P500.

I saw an interesting youtube video on loading a deer the easy way. Guy hooks pulley right behind the rear cab. Puts a plank down from deck to ground. Tyes rope to tree then thru the pully to the deer. Line deer up on the plank and drive away slow. Pulls deer right up onto rack.... youtube Longbeard Shultz

My dad has limited mobility now and he has Kubota with a winch on the headache bar and he uses it load deer. Also lifts them up to field dress so he doesn't have to bend down. We made a similar set up on his polaris before. Dont even need a plank just have to pick the head up if its a buck.
