ATV TRAILERS
Anybody here use a trailer with their quad? I want one for mine, but I've never seen anyone talking about using them. Just looking for any feedback from people who might have one, what they have, how they like it etc.

I pull my actual trailer behind mine that I trnasport it with. A 5x8 utility trailer. It's great for hauling large amounts of limbs and yard debris. For smaller tasks like dirt and rock, I use a small John Deere garden trailer made to pull behind lawn mowers. I like it but it could stand to be a little longer. At least it's heavy gauge steel and not a cheap thin metal or plastic POS.

same here Buster. I have a 4x8 I haul my bike with but also haul it with the bike for yard work. Grass clippings, stone etc. I too also haul the kids at Halloween. Makes a great hay ride buggy.
Actually, I meant 5x10 but either way, works like a champ.
Well I'm certainly not going to spend money on something I can haul the quad on lol. I already have one of those.
I'm thinking something like the moose utility trailer like in the picture attached.
I'll have to go to the John Deere dealership as I can't find diddly on their web site.
Thanks for the input guys.

What are you going to use it for? Firewood, camping, ?
I'm trying to find a link for another brand trailer. It's pretty slick. When it's unloaded you lift it up and it' hooks to your rack. This way you're not dragging an unloaded trailer back to camp. Nice if you're using it for work parties and hauling out material for trail maintenance.

Well I plan on using it for land maint. for about 2 1/2 acres maybe 3 1/2 if I can cut a deal. The land is completely unimproved so it will be used for hauling stone, wood, debri. At the house now mulch, yard debree, just simple stuff like that. At the hunting camp (yep both will fit on my trailer) I can use it for fire wood, staging tree stands, hauling seed for food plots, feed for feeders etc. I can always find a use for a dump trailer no matter the size. For the money of this thing, I can beat the crap out of it and not feel so bad.I'm trying to find a link for another brand trailer. It's pretty slick.

How doe the trailer behave with the 2X12's? I was considering this mod for my trailer. Doe the weight seem distributed properly?
It handled fine. I put the biggest atv in the middle to distribute the weight as evenly as possible. I hauled them all the way from NC to the St. Lawrence Seaway (northern border of NY) with no problems at all. Wasn't tippy around the corners or anything.grizzlywizard said:How doe the trailer behave with the 2X12's? I was considering this mod for my trailer. Doe the weight seem distributed properly?
Here is a wagon we sell along with the Bosski ATV Wagon. I personally own a Bush Buggy and it doesn't get any better.Bush Buggies:

OK, here's a stupid question. With 2x12's that don't appear bolted down, how do you get the quads up onto the 2x12's. Clearly if you just put a ramp up to them, they seem like they would try to raise up on the opposite end and be dangerous on loading. I also don't see how a strap strapping basically straight up and down and having no angle to it would not prevent the quad from trying to move front to back, thus potentially coming off the side of the trailer. That's what makes me nervous.
I would really like to have a 6x12 flatbed trailer for this. That would carry 3 side x side or 2 front to back.

You have my attention. Price? Picture? Where can I purchase?Star_rider_rick said:Here is a wagon we sell along with the Bosski ATV Wagon. I personally own a Bush Buggy and it doesn't get any better.Bush Buggies:

Sorry BW, I missed this post earlier.BusterW said:OK, here's a stupid question. With 2x12's that don't appear bolted down, how do you get the quads up onto the 2x12's.

The 2x12's are bolted down. I lined them up where I wanted them, then drilled thru the board and the trailer rail/frame. Bolted down with one 3" stainless steel bolt at each end of each board. Theres also a 12" piece of 2x12 under the middle of each board to help support the weight. I bought 8 foot 2x12's and cut the 12" piece off the end of each. I use folding ramps to drive up from the side, than strap each atv down, front and back, to eye bolts that are also attached to the trailer rail/frame. Like I said, I drove about 800 miles each way with no problems. There's plenty of room under the atvs to store ramps and other large items too.
Did you find?
