I use a 12x6 utility trailer that I put plywood on both side and the front. Ideal for hauling firewood and my P500 with cloth cab, windshield etc. My new P1000-3 D is a really, I mean really, tight fit for me. I have floor "D" rings installed in the strap hoops to go over them that might fit well enough for the P1k. I have retractable straps on order but I can't help but think this Kolpin device would be awesome, if, if I could get it lined up. Anyone with experience with this device?

Thanks in advance.

Erickson wheel chock system is the way to go. Easy and simple.

There is a member on here using something similar. I think he called it a trailer dog (or something like that). I can’t recall the member name but hopefully he is still around and sees the post.

Think a guy in Louisiana actually built the first one of those that people have since copied:

I see them all the time for ATV's around here, but I don't think they'd do well on a full size utv like a P1k
