Smith Attachments has recently released a carrier for motorcycles and quads.

Light enough to be bolted to the rear carrier of a two wheeler and not affect stability or access to the rear portion of the seat, the unit has a neat clamp that allows up to 20 standards and two rolls of wire to be carried safely.

A handy tray stores tools or lunch if you’re out for a long day.

Contact your Farmlands Store or motorcycle dealer.
