ATV/UTV PowerLoader Attachment

Operating off a factory-installed or after-market winch system, the front-mounted ATV/UTV PowerLoader Attachment is designed to hoist and haul a host of strapped-secured items (e.g., hay bales, feed/seed/fertilizer bags, building materials, firewood, toolbox, rock/debris, even dead animals). At the push of a button, its telescoping arms retract, curl upward, then lift loads reportedly weighing up to 350 pounds from ground level to transport position. Made of aluminum, the device reportedly fits on most brands of ATVs and UTVs, including Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Bombardier, Polaris, Arctic Cat, and Yamaha.

Cost: $340, attachment; $85, mounting kit
