Private Handle Tow...Lift..Thing

[Billek]

My friend has this huge hill by his house and we like to build jumps and put up rails we have a real nice set up. A problem though is that we take turns bringing eachother on his fourwheeler and we cant ride down together. I feel kinda childish when I ask this but is there any places we could buy like a handle toe or something to take us up? If anyone knows where to buy one it would be so great.

 

[BillyGoteMan]

built one?

 

[Billek]

Is there any plans on the internet that you know of? Im not very creative when it comes to mechanics.

lawnmower engine and stwo pulleys. some rope too and maybe some guides for the middle part of the rope.

 

[CBROOKS]

you would need somthing stronger than a lawnmower engine.... maybe a LARGe ride on lawnmower engine, like the ones you steer with the two joysitck things

its gonna cost you too much money.

be thankful you have a fourhweeler so you dont have to hike.

^^^ Thats not true. I bet it could be done for under $1000.

check my old thread about this. it had about 50 replies i think

 

[R.Fahey]

Yeah.. but a thread on NS with 50 replies normally only provides about 6 legit comments. kidding.... i posted on ^ his thread, and its good. check it.

just take you both up and nudge the 4 wheeler down the hill then both go back up?

or you could use the 4 wheeler. just lift the back off the ground and make the throttle stick so it spins the wheels. have a rope around one of the wheels or a pulley mounted to the axle or something and put anothe pulley at the opposite end of the rope.

theres sumthin on the freeskiier podcast about this- check it out...

 

[Changethattape]

Yo Mike did it even snow enough up there for jumps next weekend? and cant we attach something to the axel or the back?

 

[a.jamieson]

If you get mad creatve and salvage things im positive it can be made for under 1000$

 

[ShadyHillGroup]

there is a freeskier podcast about this, yeah pretty much an engine on one end, a pully on the other, shouldnt cost more that ~300 if you do it right

 

[snocompton]

All you need is an old lawn mower engine. Hook up a rope, find a good tree and with some messing around you got a rope tow. Im sure you can find a site that will help you with it.
