I'll let you guys know how it works! I've been toying with buying a disc and another buddy of mine decided to split this little disc up on cost! It almost seems too good to be true, but for the storage, maneuverability (plowing in reverse) and cost I decided I'd give it a try. Purchased it straight from the website where they have 100% money back guarantee! I'll get it just in time to get some stuff in this spring!

I think it will work fine for you. It does a good job for us with our food plots in some tight places. Keep us posted on what you think.

I'll be sure to take some before and after pictures from it's work. I have about 2 acres of farmland that I'll be breaking up again in Sept., and a few smaller places that I'll be doing soon or in the fall. The possibilities are endless if you can get a four wheeler there you can work the ground...just hope it works like they promise...but with a money back guarantee...it's worth a try!

I have a couple of real small food plots and am very interested in your findings.

supposed to get here today or Monday...I'll be out with it on Wednesday hopefully tearing up some new spots...I'll let you all know what I think!
The parts I like are reverse, and also not going at 2-3 mph for it to work, the maneuvarability of it, and the amount of storage...I know I'll have to make 5 passes to equal a larger disc, but at a higher rate of speed it shouldn't be a problem!

The faster you go the more dirt you throw. Keep us posted on what you think.

Not so happy with shipping...ordered last Monday the 28th of April and still don't have it (today is May 6th)...been a week and a day...talked to Keith and he is looking into the problem...but he has been awesome to talk with so far! Hopefully it'll get here soon and I can brag about how it works!

I sure will be glad when that thing comes in (maybe not as much as you). I'm definitely curious to see how it works. I've seen the video but you know how that goes.

Did you get the new toy? Looking at them, too.

Well...I got it, but there's a problem. I believe I'm the first person to order one with a 2008 Polaris Sportsman...because the adapter and hitch don't fit! I called today and talked to Keith, and we are trying to fix the problem, but currently it's in the garage and will not fit the atv properly.
The problem lies in that you need a 2 inch receiver on your atv for it to work well without ripping the frame off you quad, so I ordered the kit to put on the 2 inch receiver on my quad...but the bolts and all don't fit b/c the 2008 Polaris doesnt have much room between the mounting plate and the engine like the 07 and before models do...to say I'm disappointed is an understatement...but I will say that Keith and the guys are working at trying to fix the problem....and YOU GET A PERSON ON THE PHONE EVERYTIME YOU CALL...and 9 times out of 10 it's Keith...the guy who knows it all..
hopefully I'll be able to tell you it's fixed soon, because right now I have it, but can't use it

Stoutk There is a company called leed engenering, they make a two in reciever that will work with the groundhog. I know the guy at tuffline told us that is what we had to get to make it go on our yamaha kodiak, because their universal reciever would not work on our four wheeler. You might want to look at that. I know exactly how you feel.

this is the way I feel...I spent over $500 for a disc and a universal hitch mount that ISN"T UNIVERSAL. They had never checked the "universal" 2 inch mount on the newer Polaris models 2008...so I tried to buy new hardware and shorter bolts today, but there just isn't enough clearance to bolt anything onto the frame that will support the disc and the weight/pressure it's going to put on the bike...
Keith is going to try some figuring out in the next couple days, but right now, it's packed up and ready to ship back to them! Live and learn...he has been good to work with though...just awfully disappointing!

Man, that sucks Stoutk. I was hoping you had great luck with it. I would guess that my '05 Rincon would work okay with the universal mount. Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely ask about this if I order one.

I asked before I ordered
I was on the phone with the company while I ordered it online to make sure I was ordering what I needed...didn't work out that way though...a true oversight on their part...
They're trying to fix the situation though as of right now....I'll keep everyone posted!

I know exactly how you feel, atleast they are trying to figure out how to make yours work, they just told us to buy that part, and when we asked what to do with the universal mount they told us to find sombody in the club that maybe wanted to buy it from us. The only thing that saved us is the fact the store we bought it from gave us a deal on it because we let them sell our old disc, so we did not pay full price for it.
