I know some of you use ATVs for running traps. I struggled for a while securing things to the rack (before I started trapping). I'd rush securing things then have to stop and pick things back up when they fal loff.

I've had one bucket strapped on like this for a while and been pleased with it. Today I strapped down 3 buckets. If you wnat to haul buckets around then carry them with you, of course you can put a bucket inside the strapped down bucket and lift it right out.

I use a hand grinder to melt a couple slots on each side, just above the bottom. Then lace a strap through so it goes around the bars.

The second strap on top is just the extra laced through so I can pull it tight.





I'm curious what the rest of you do?

Bucket in a milk crate

Ya beat me to it....

A square basket rack held by U clamps .,Never had an issue

I would go plywood with buckets and fender washers down through the plywood , the drop maiting bucket into the ones screwed down.

change out the config from ice fishing to trapping to wood cutting with 4 bolts that hold down the plywood

that is just my idea , I have not used it on a 4 wheeler myself

the one at the farm had bolts holding down the square milk crates but it left just 2 crates as the option

you could also screw down ammo cans as an option to get more storage out of the weather

Before we had wheeled recycling carts we had heavy plastic bins. I have couple of them and they bolt to atv rack pretty nicely.

I scratched my head how to attach the rear rack on my Polaris. Ended up using heavy duty zip ties. If one breaks just get a new one.

If you use the rectangular buckets that cat litter comes in, you will save yourself a lot of space since they fit together side by side without wasting space.

milk crates strapped down - can jam things like hammer in corners and bucket

Buckets fit into these baskets just fine. I have the one on the back that extends past my rack and one on the front. Would like to have a fully enclosed box but stuck with these for now.

Lifetime of buckets makes it more practical to use crates or boxes to put the buckets in.

I like that extruded rack. I am thinking of something like that for my ATV.

I'm cheap.
