I am looking for a good 1000 lb. capacity utility trailer to tow behind my 500ho. Mainly for hunting/camping and supplies. Anyone have any plans or can recommend a company that builds them.
Thanks.

go to www.aluminumproducts.com amd www.mountaingoattrailers.com they both have 1000 lb trailers. i hope this helps out!

 

You might also try Harbor Freight, they carry a light duty trailer of the range you are looking for. It's kind of a do-it-yourself project, you have to put the deck on the frame. I hope this helps. And Happy New Year to all that read this.

Do you have a Tractor Supply Co. store in your area (TSC)? If you know how to weld or have a friend that can this might work for you. I recently purchased a 4x8 trailer kit here. It was a bolt together type. However, I purchased some heavier frame runners, put expanded metal on the 10" sides, converted the tongue to a tilt bed and used 3/4" treated plywood floor. It has 4.80x12 tires and a 1500# cap. It is very light weight so it's great behind atv. The kit includes lights & title so its street legal. My 2000 Sportsman fits on it with about 1" clearance at back wheels. TSC also offers a 5x8 trailer kit that is assembled. The 4x8 kit is $229 the 5x8 is $349 I have about $300 in mine. Hope this helps.

 

I may have one for sale this spring. The Sportsman 6x6 we just bought should suit our camping needs well. The trailer I have is custom made for use with a quad. It has a 60”x 35” metal box that sits between the wheels. I’ve made two treated plywood “inserts” for the box, one for camping and one for utility work. The camping insert is fully enclosed and lockable to protect the contents. The two lids run the long dimension, one on each side, and they open to form tables with support from a prop between the fenders and the lids. The utility insert is an open top box that has taller sides than the metal box and a removable tail gate. The inserts are held in place by 4 bolts and teenuts so they swap easily. There are a couple shots of the trailer with the camping insert in with the trail pix you can get to through the link below. They’re the Wren Falls camping shots but they don’t do a real good job of showing the trailer. Just gives you an idea what it is. I can take some real good pix and email them to anyone interested but not till spring. The trailer is at our place four hours north of here sitting under a tarp for the winter. That area has already received almost 120” of snow this season so I’ll be waiting till the thaw to do anything with the trailer. I really hadn’t thought of selling it but then I no longer have a use for it either.

 

Weetoots: I have built many a trailers for ATV's, one of the most popular here in Alaska for hunting are made using a welded angle iron frame and a 100 gal. Rubber made tote or livestock tank. I have brought 4 moose out of the woods (one at a time)with mine and would not trade it for any other. If you do any welding, you and build the axle, frame and tounge, then mount the tote. I build mine with a swivel in the toung to prevent any tortional strane on the machine when in off camber terane. If you would like I will e-mail you a picture so you can copy it.

 

Hey seacow that stock tank is a great idea for a trailer bed. Next trailer I build may have to go that way, if you don't mind me barrowing your idea.

I recently found a web-site called tag-a-long trailers. It is a company in Alaska that has quite a few different styles. I suggest you check these out. If I was going to buy one I would get it from them. www.tagalongtrailers.com <--- I think that's the address. If not do a search for Tag-a-long trailers. They have single and tandem axled trailers, aluminum, and some other options.
