Good to hear you guys are getting something going for the aftermarket industry for our machines. I'll be sure to watch this thread for updates.

Thanks for the heads up on the country atv sight. saved me a lot of time NOT making plow mount brackets for my max VI. just what I was going to make. the steel alone would of cost me $40 no measuring or guessing no cussing. PRICELESS

If you call them, ask for Chad or Sean. Chad is the head of the operation and is an avid ATV rider and hunter. Great guy and will listen to what you need.
They did right by the products they made for me and I would like to see this accessory line take-off for them.
All the videos and photos on their website of the MaxIV are my machine which I allowed them to use to make the prototype products.

how much did all the modes they did for you cost in the end?

[SlimChance]

Since mine was the prototype machine, they manufactured the accessories for nothing and I paid for all material costs. All total with the front and rear racks, brush guards, snowplow, mounts, fabric cab, cab frame, windshield and winch plate it was just over $900. They made patterns off of these prototypes for production. Keep in mind they had the machine for a month and a half.

I don't see any section on their website for Max IV accessories. Can you post a link for us? Thanks.

Up at the top of the home page is a link that says "AATV (6x6) Accessories":Country ATV Amphibious ATV (AATV) Accessories for Max IV, Argo and More 6x6 Vehicles.

Now somebody lend them a Hustler...

900 bucks for all of those accessories?! man, i wish I had a few hundred sittin around, my Max would be on a trailer this afternoon! I hate being broke! come on lottery!!!! I really hope something comes of this, It would be awesome to have more a place to buy accessories from

I called and spoke with one of the guys there yesterday and hopefully they will let me know if they are interested in using my Max II. Seems like they are waiting to see how many calls they get for the Max IV modes to see if there is a need to go any further. Supply and Demand. I am sure they dont want to do the work and then get stuck with no one wanting the product in the end.

[MikeyM]

nice! That surprises me, the guy I talked to seemed all gung ho about gettin their hands on one. Thanks for tryin to get that done, hopefully it all comes about! If they could make some cool stuff like they did on the max IV, for the max II's at those prices, that would be awesome!

I ordered a set of max IV plow mounts 10 days ago, called them today to see where they were at. they told me they were making them in back today, and sending to powder coat. I am the first to order a set they said. hope all goes well.

I could definitely understand the lack of demand with these kind of parts, but if the could get their hands on a max II, get the dimensions and make one protype, they could list the pictures on their sight, with pricing, and have it listed as build per order or something. That way they wouldn't have parts collecting dust, I know I would be happy to wait an extra week if I knew I was saving money and getting quality

Demo61x and MikeyM,
after seeing your posts I dropped by their plant to see how this was going. Their plan is to have 5 units of each item in stock by the end of the next 2 weeks for immediate shipment. They were a bit surprised by the early response their first week with the Max IV accessories and were not prepared other than the prototypes which were beatup from their durability testing. I saw the snowplow mount bars on the coating line and cab support frames were being packaged for shipping. I think the Max II products will be in the works in the near future as the interest for the Max IV accessories has shown them there is a need for these items at a fair price to us.

Thats good to hear, maybe I will get a call for them to use my Max II. A cheaper windshield with the same abilities of the factory (fold down) would be a great thing to have and I would like to see how they could outfit a Max II.

[MikeyM]

AWESOME WORK SLIMCHANCE! and CBASS....that would be awesome to get a foldable windshield, Id be happy with just the frame, i could get some plexi glass for the actual windshield. I would really like to get a winch mount from them, ^metioned windshield framing, and itd be awesome if they made a roll bar
