Rick,
I like that bed and "rumple" seat. Does your bed have power tilt?
hugs, Brandi

Sysop, yep I think an extender will do it...I have some 2" square to make one if I can't find a store bought one long enough.

Brandi, no it's a manual dump and the rear step hits the hitch so travel is limited now to about 20 degrees. We have used the rear seat quite a bit and are happy with the set up.

MotorSeven,
I'm glad you're back in the saddle, so to speak. :thumbsup:
A BIG THANK YOU for all of your efforts reviewing the Bulldog BD700. It SURE has helped me in my purchasing.

Thanks ken, shoulder is about 85%....not sure where it will end up after making such a mess of the tendons.

I have a new tip on the shifting from forward to reverse when it get's "stuck" ...simply turn the ignition key off and back on quickly(engine stays running) and it shifts with ease. Kinda like the micro switch on an Inboard/outboard boat....when it's not adjusted right it just won't shift from forward to reverse or vis versa.

My buddy had major shoulder surgery back in January by a renowned sports doctor in Houston. He was told to not use it at all and keep it immobile. Not sure how good he stayed on the dr's orders, but he says his shoulder is still crap.
Hope yours is better.

Did the machine heal faster than you or did it have some help from you, by the way you were not suppose to help it until your shoulder healed.:thumbsup:

Hey y'all! New to the forum. The reason I'm here at all is I was researching the Bulldog and came across this thread. VERY informative and actually quite entertaining and a bit gripping when I read about MotorSeven going off the side of the hill and sustaining some nasty injuries. Firstly, how are you MotorSeven? I hope your rib and clavicle have healed well and you're back in fighting form. And how is the Bulldog? I think it's a bit over two years since you bought it? and especially since it rolled? My wife and I live on 36 acres and are beginning to do permaculture with bees and chickens as well as using selectively harvested trees for lumber and woodworking. We're looking for a side-by-side for farm duty and general hauling stuff around, maybe skidding a few logs out of the woods and bottom land, maybe pulling a few UTV-style implements. What do you think? Will the Bulldog handle it? We just don't have the money to pay for a big name and anyway we're not going to be tearing through the woods at Mach 5 with our butts on fire. Thanks for any advice and info.

FWIW, my buddy's shoulder is good now. But the other one is giving him trouble. Hope yours is better.
