I AM GOING TO WELD UP SOME FRONT AND BACK RACKS FOR THE 4 WHEELER. EVERYONE HAS SEEN ROWDYS HOW HE HAS THE WALL AGAINST THE RIDERS BACK. I HAVE ALSO SEEN SOME WITH THE WALL AT THE BACK END OF THE QUAD. WHAT ARE THE REAL PROS AND CONS OF EACH SETUP. I JUST WANT TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME THANKS.

Mine is currently against my back, like a pickup bed, but my next one will be the opposite, with the wall on the rear.
I think it's safer for the dogs to be sitting on a rack, with the wall behind them.

I used Chris's pictures a long time ago and built the same exact rack for my older machine.
No complaints from me, and all over again I wouldn't change a thing.

I designed mine by looking at Circle C's pics, and it is great for hauling corn, coolers, and anything else.
He makes some valid points, making me rethink my thinking on a rearward facing bulkhead. Hmmmmm.

i would try to keep the weight as close over top the rear axle as possible , maybe a rack on the front to balance out the weight

Craig, You are right about the weight needing to be over the rear axle. I ended up putting a couple of 2x2's under the rack, so that I could move it forward and sit above the rear of the seat without rubbing the seat. It helped quite a bit. Best counter weight I have found is in the first picture. A little pork makes the all the difference  |

 If you are lazy like me you can avoid the miter cuts on the square tubing and bend some solid rod to make the curves. |

Craig your signature is all wrong. I think the old addage goes like this...
" don't call him a cowboy until you've had his dutch oven deserts"
