ATV training set-up

I have a large ATV that I have a roading bar on the front and wanted to put a bird carrier and some type of box to hold my equipment. So everything I need is confined to the quad. I would love to see anybody's set ups or suggestions.

I am getting into trialing and was considering putting my prospects for trials on his string. Has anyone had any experience with him and how he is set up and trains. My dogs are a little sensitive when not being worked then bulldogs in the field.

Kennel Setups

I am considering starting a small kennel for English setters. I am curious what kennel sizes, flooring, deluded, ect people have/use. Pictures would be great.
I live in NY so weather is a concern too. It can get around -11 without wind chill which where I live is very strong in the winter.
