Default 6x12 trlr z400 sideways-how diffucult?

Hello all, first time post here. My question is about loading the atvs on a trailer. I have three atv's, my sons Suzuki lt80, wifes Ozark and a ltz400. About to purchase a trailer and was wondering how difficult it will be to turn the 400 sideways on a 6 1/2 wide utility. I don't really mind wrestling them sideways but was really wondering if while scooting the tires around if they will have to be lifted over or above the side rails to fit sideways? If so, then I will look into a 7ft wide trailer or one that has the removable rails on the side so I can side load. I prefer the 6 1/2 x12 utility because of price, but I don't want to regret the purchase if I have to spend an hour loading up after a hard day of riding, then just to have to do it again when I get home. Basically, I just need to know if the foot print of the 400 can be turned sideways without lifting the tires off the floor of a 6 1/2 x 12 trailer. I have looked and looked and youtubed for hours without finding the answer, thanks for reading.

I've seen some trailers where you can load from the side in front like this TRAILER ATV. It might be a little more expensive than the one you're looking at but much easier to load.

I bought my side load atv trailer for about the same price as the same size utility trailer. Trust me after a day of riding you do not want to be fighting sliding those machines sideways. Dealers have some wiggle room on the trailers. I got the dealer to drop $300 in the price of the trailer.
