I bought an Otter Outfitters tub from Fleet Farm to use one winter.

It worked wonderful behind my ATV. Then I noticed that the bottom ridges were wearing out from going across parking lots and on the street. I solved this by going to a plastic supplier and getting some 2"x20"x3/8" strips of Lexan. I drilled and tapped the ends of each piece and bolted them through the bottom of the sled. There were three skids now.

To stiffen the sled I welded a frame of square tubing to fit under the lip. Then I bolted it on. An eye bolt on each corner made for tie downs for bulky loads.

The first one lasted for several years. Then, a groundie dropped it out of the back of the chip truck on a cold day and broke the tub. I tried to fishplate a repair but it was trashed.

We used that sled for years, all year around. Gear would be piled in to haul to the backyard. Rakings would finish the job. HUGE log loads would go in. There was never a load that the sled couldn't take.
