Abstract: An ATV load support system for assisting in the supporting of a load positioned upon an ATV. The ATV load support system includes an elongate support member pivotally attached to a frame of the ATV extending rearwardly, an upper frame attached to the elongate support member for receiving a load, a vertical member attached to the upper frame extending downwardly, an attachment member having an upper bracket attached to a rear hitch of an ATV, and a first shock absorber and compression spring attached between the upper bracket and the vertical member. The weight of the load is transferred from the rear suspension of the ATV directly to the rear axle of the ATV thereby reducing wear upon the rear suspension.
