General

While working away trying to better the farm in everyway I could, I could see different things happening. With my brother Stanley away in either Oz or New Zealand sheep shearing, I had to become more efficient. Jobs were still needing done but I had less time to do them as with starting my own business, it was full on.

My time needed to be managed more so that I could become more efficient and more productive. This is where my quad and Quadcrate stepped in, its was allowing me to deal with problem as I can across them.

This unique combo was the second pair of hands I needed to become smarter with my time. My ATV was the hub of my farm, I simply could not do without it in order to ensure my cattle and sheep were looked after better.
Efficiency and production were things that were drilled into me while at Harper Adams University in 2000. Here I learned about different tools and methods and better ways to do things. Them were the days 😀

With going forward with Quadcrate I didn’t want the farm to suffer due to me spending less time on it. With the quad and Quadcrate I just felt more organised as I could get more done in less time. I could do so much more with my bike, no more leave it behind I will sort it later ethic. It was more like I can sort that now and keep solving the problems saving loads of time.

Working with Quadcrate, I was becoming even more convinced I was doing the right thing setting up in business. Quadcrate was helping me in so many ways so what was stopping it from helping the world 🌍 was my thought. I had to get it more developed and invest in R&D to get it seen for what it was. We had the patents pending, I was seeing more and more productive potential, the sales I had the reports were good.

So there was nothing else for it let’s go to our first ever agricultural show “Balmoral” I was buzzing at the thought, wondering how it would go down so the work started into get the products show ready. 

We are going to Balmoral 🥳

So they say if you enjoy your work the day goes faster, I know this to be true for me.

When I was a teenager I would work from early morning to late at night as I was single and hungry to work. Which was just as well as my Dad always give me plenty to do, whether I agreed with it or not.

I had the freedom though to put my own twist on things, to make them better and do things quicker.

When I saw how the Quadcrate was helping us do exactly that, in doing tasks quicker and leaving us better equipped to tackle problems head on. Instead of leaving a sick sheep behind us we could bring them with us. Instead of leaving a job off because we didn’t have a trailer, we could do it as we had the Quadcrate on hand.

While working on an out building with a friend, he looked around the Quadcrate and thought it was a great idea. While drinking a cup of tea he said you should look to get that patented, I have never seen anything like it. After a few days I did some research and found nothing resembling it at all so I kept digging.

With limited money but a buzz in my gut, I decided to go for it, to gather more info to see if it was worth patenting. Found a company to do the search’s and they also found nothing, the advice they give me was to act quick and get cover on it. I was hyper at the thought that this bracket I had designed may be the first of its kind, can it be?? I kept asking myself this.

The solution to a problem I had, looked worth pursuing but at a cost, patents cost money but both my gut and my heart said to chance it.

Here was really the start of my adventure into my venture of making Quadcrate a product worth buying. It was going to be hard but I was up for the fight 💪

Sometimes the simpler things in life are the best, the ones that don’t take a professor with 19 PHDs or a computer technician to figure it out.

Once I saw ATCs or now ATVs as a child growing up, they got me sooo excited, I would nearly wet myself. The buzz of seeing a big Red Honda trike gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Once we were able to afford a quad on our farm, I was so shuffed but then the jobs started. The farm become a more enjoyable place to work, more productive and more efficient.

All and all quads have made a great impact on agriculture and the world as a whole. They allow people to move quicker to increase work rates and now Quadcrate®️has been born to make the utility 4 wheeler 100% more useful.

The Quadcrate®️ isnt rocket science, it’s an idea, practically made out of metal. It’s a suite of ATV attachments designed over time, that makes any utility quadbike into a work trojan. A Trojan workhorse never seen or utilised before for what they truly are, until Quadcrate®️ made it possible.

A carrying system like no other, that’s always there when you need it, like a good dog. Like a Swiss knife, available when you need to cut something.

When a Quadcrate system is fitted to an ATV, that ATV has just got its cape, it now has special powers. This machine with the right operator can take on almost any problem that may arise. It becomes a problem solver on wheels.

The future of Utility ATVs has Quadcrate In that mix as both together are like 2 peas in a pod. A quad and Quadcrate are the perfect combination to which will make light work of farming in today’s world.

The world needs Quadcrate®️ in order to become more efficient, more productive and more ready for the day, the week the future.

Unlock you quads full potential, utilise it’s work range, bring it up to speed of today’s world 🌎

Invest in Quadcrate, Invest in life.

A ewe, freshly lambed had mislaid her new borns and was very stressed. So I jumped on my quad with trailer, with the aim of transporting her back up to the top of the hill and find her lambs.

After a bit of fun catching her, I headed for the hill but due to it being so wet, the quad slipped and slid everywhere and I couldn’t get any traction. I had to give up and ended up carrying the ewe on my back, thankfully I found her lambs and all was reunited.

That night that situation really bugged me, as I was so frustrated I couldn’t reach my destination.

With my head going over and over that situation again and again, I knew the bike was being held back by the drag weight of the trailer.

I decided that if I could get more weight onto the back wheels enough traction would be achieved and would help to keep the quad moving forward.

With this theory in mind a few days later I made a foldable bracket for the back of my quad and tied a sheep onto it.

I set off to the very place that I couldn’t get up with the trailer and decided to test out my new system.

Up I went, straight over the same patch and my bike hardly spun at all, it had enough traction to keep moving. I was amazed at how well it preformed, my idea had worked.

With it working so well I was chuffed, it made me feel I had achieved something great. Over time I saw that the foldable bracket I had designed was being used all the time to carry small loads from A to B on the farm.

I could see that there may be more to this bracket than what meets the eye 👁 only time would tell
