AutoWeek mentioned the ATLTF in the article!

Video with the tractor in it:

I think he just took a 4 wheeler and put a tractor hood and fenders on it. Still cool though.

That thing looks like it has a long arm suspension. Makes it look very aggressive. Thanks for posting those links WW. Maybe this hobby will be more mainstream one day. It's definitely gaining popularity.

Your welcome! Yeah the article said it had RZR suspension. Waste of an RZR if you ask me, lol! But still really cool. Build -Off - 2018 Build-Off Discussion - Page 10 1098998679

I haven't dug in that much, he could have got it from a wrecked unit.

I think it's just a standard wishbone IFS setup. Long arm is a solid axle setup, commonly seen on Jeep rock crawlers. Looks lile a pretty wide track though, haha.

Probably an off the shelf long travel suspension setup. And the frame/subframe look to be custom built. But it sounds like a 4 stroke, like a normal 4 wheeler engine

No, he said it came off an RZR. But it does have a huge stance!

Yeah it's a 4 stroke, but it's off a snowmobile according to the article. Same thing I think.

Here is one I found a while back

Lol i want one! My friend has a gs 600 4 cylinder that he is going to use on his dune buggy he is planning on building but he wouldn't give it to me.

I want to take a gas golf cart with a blown motor and stab in a Polaris Fuji 488 sled engine. About 65-70 hp, super reliable. It’d be a lot of fun. Would have to rig up a small radiator and maybe an electric water pump. Something I want to do when I have the time and money

I’m super stoked!! I might be entering the MTD for fun here later, we will see. If I do it’ll be MST swapped mild off roader like the CQ. I actually kinda like how the frame is put together on this one. Seems fairly solid

Subject: Re: 2018 Build-Off Discussion January 31st 2018, 5:03 pm

I would like to see you have a build beal!
I am itching to get started , and once I start I expect to have it in a drivable state in under a month.

Subject: Re: 2018 Build-Off Discussion January 31st 2018, 5:09 pm

It is specific to the Build-off. Dune buggies and Golf carts are not build-off topics. Smile

Guess I could just move those posts to the talk about anything thread.

Yeah , I though I had clicked on beals thread but hit the build off thread, so I edited it hoping no one would see it

Wow, this new PC setup makes administrating so much easier. Been tweaking some of the forums and stuff.

Also, surprise! All entrants are colored. I believe thats called "incentive", or something like that.

I believe we had a discussion about that kind of talk in another setting.

After blowing a gasket on Doc's FB page for 2 weeks straight, I think I have it figured out. I quit responding to trollbait and block people who ask stupid questions. Coming soon to a forum near you?
