Sportsman (The masses)…those
of us with an ATV and a truck or car with a small trailer.
Let’s talk a one-man operation: The GroundHog
MAX by BioLogic. Even though the Groundhog MAX is ½ the
width of a normal pull-behind…you are not losing time
plowing …you make up for plowing time in speed and maneuverability.
I t is also the most cost effective option (saves gas both
ATV and truck wise). Your purchase price is less and shipping
is less. I am sure this does not really matter to real
sportsmen since money grows on those trees you are hunting
in.
OPERATION- GroundHog Max by BioLogic– you
can plow 5-8 mph according to how your food plot s laid out.
Remember you can use reverse in those tight spots. Down
pressure…the weight of the ATV 700-800 Lbs plus the
weight of the rider 200-300lbs sooo this equals approximately
a 1000lbs of down pressure on less steel, (2 foot x 1 ft that
you a forcing into the ground). Transport mode (discs pointed
up) allows you to drive it up on your truck, take it to your
property, back it off the truck, take the plow to the most
remote area of your property (at the speed of an ATV).
To flip the plow over to plowing position… back up
on 4-inch ramps, lock the brake, and scotch the wheels. Pull
one tractor pin and flip the over to plowing mode. Adjust
it down to almost touch the ground. Put your tractor
pin back in and back off the ramps.
Start making looping circles, figure eights, and you can also
plow back and forth.
Use reverse only when you have to because it does not plow
well going backwards (mostly for maneuverability) and it slows
you down with all of the gear shifting. But reverse is irreplaceable
on a pulp wood road or a firebreak when you cannot turn around.
No worries about the disc not staying in the ground either
because you are riding the plow like a fifth wheel.
BIG PLUS… there is FUN factor involved riding
your high dollar ATV. The Fun part is why you paid
for the ATV…right.
I know this sounds to good to be true but more and more savvy
sportsmen are using this GroundHog MAX by Biologic. Naturally
people are always going to think bigger is better but you can
prove them wrong in about 5 minutes with the versatility of
this plow.
Imagine the possibilities of putting in a food plot “way
back in a sweet spot” where MATURE BUCKS actually live
and you are just putting in a kitchen next to their bedroom. That
trophy may even go into the kitchen during shooting hour’s…maybe
even before or after the rut. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES!!
He sure is not as likely to bumble out into a giant green field
unless his hormones are berserk and he is chasing miss-hot-to-trot.
Before we leave someone out let’s don’t forget
some other brother in arms that think out side the
box to get that food plot in
The Jury Riggers.There are several
types of these.
Old school…those with a mule…you
can get it where you need to go and it will back up…almost
like reverse. You will have to get over the sweaty
smell and the road apples on your own though. Be sure
to have plenty of water on hand too. But the good new
is that mules do come with free gas. They are not that
easy to move from point A to Point B. Beware and check your
local codes… the road apples may be considered baiting.
Thinkers…utilizing any and all powers
sources that can used for putting in food plots…some
are: old jeeps, trucks, off road go carts, zero turn lawnmowers,
argos, and golf carts.
The ATVless … go with tillers, walk
behind tractors, and hand-jiving with garden tools. Using
the sweat of your brow, a good pair of gloves, and any volunteers
that can be drafted. BioLogic no till comes to mind.
We have all endured at least some of these options to try
to lure in deer and turkey into our hunting honey holes. Whatever
it takes to make something green and better your chances while
still staying legal. We also like the idea of helping
the overall health of the herd while putting some more mass
on the bucks.
Anyway, take my practical options and comparisons
for what you think they are worth.
Quality seeds, good soil tests, lime and fertilizer, sweat
of he brow, a good plowing option, and the Lord sending a little
rain, all adds up to good times outdoors and hopes and dreams
of that trophy in your future. Think green and stay legal.
