Hey nice! Where did you get the instructions from?

That's REALLY NICE!! Can you push up high on the bars? That is the one thing I can't do with either of my current designs.

For grass, a wheel barrel with pipe works great. I made one, see below. I don't use it as much as my other, the bugs are unreal if you stir up the grass. The only other disadvantage is there is a huge difference in resistance between tall/short grass, heavy/thin grass cover. If you have an area that is uniform it would work great. Mine is mixed and it's difficult as you will go from easy pushing to barely moving in a short distance.

I did try it on snow, but it is going to take a LOT more resistance....

I designed it myself.

Yeah, you can push up high on the bars.

The top crossbar is 40" from the ground. Could probably still take a little bit more off.

Sometimes the sled tries to go up on its nose if not using enough weight. But it isn't a real issue. Common sense I guess since the sled is 32" x 32".

But thats only if using the top cross bar to push.

I added a front eyelet and have been pulling it more than pushing. Deadlifts are leaving my lower back fried.

I know that this is kind of moot, but thank you for posting these pics of your sled. I, Mr. Less-Than-Handy, managed to pull off a reasonable facsimilie of your sled for my 16 year old football fanatic. The 'Big Red' in Sharpie is his nickname.







Not masterfully executed, but a fun project just the same.

Thanks, again, for the inspiration.

Anyone needing help with the project can email ytrabbit@netscape.net , for what it's worth.

Wow looks great!

For a second there I thought someone stole mine.

MyClone, dude, you're still hanging around here? I thought that I found your post a few years too late to get a hold of you! Thanks for the great idea! My kid plays Varsity Football and every year at this time the team goes away to camp for a week. During that week, the Missus and I rearrange his room, hang up his new awards/trophies and try to show him that we support all of his hard work. This year, inspired by your sled, I decided to built him one as I am not too fond of the Prowlers design. It came out OK, though not nearly as good as yours.

'tip 'o the hat to MyClone!

P.S. - I have welding equipment, so if I can get a decent tubing/pipe bender and the kid gets a full ride for college, my next project might be one of these...



if I don't screw it up too badly!

That's a really neat design. Any idea what sort of pipe would be best? How much do you think I would have to pay a welder to knock me up one of those?
