Anyone know how much a trailer to haul 2 quads (raptor and ds650 when we buy them) would cost? Are there any good manufacturers that you would recommend? I was kinda curious as to if there are any side-loading trailers for quads to save space.

 

my trailer is 8' x 10' it can load 2 quads very eazily, i have the 650, and normally there is a banshee on it,we also have a camping box thats probably 2'x4' on it as well, i let a couple of guys from work use it and they got 3 on it, two raptors and a 400ex one of the raptors had its tires on the rail but it worked fine form them, i paid like 700 bucks for mine new, it has a loading ramp(tail gate), and i bulldog nose, i sure you can find them cheaper but i want the bulldog reciever

 

wow I was thinking a trailer that big would be more expensive. Sounds like an 8x10 would be perfect as me and my bud want to go camping and take the quads with us. Heck if you can fit 3 quads on it we'd probably need something smaller.

 

I bought a Big Tex 6.5' wide x 12' long trailer with gate. I paid $1333 (including tax) for it. It can hold three quads side by side, however it isn't made specifically for quads so it is rear loading with rams and is much more heavy duty than you'll ever need for ATVs. When I bought my trailer, I hadn't seen any quality side loading trailers so I didn't bother with the ones I had seen, at the time I just got rid of my second low budget junk trailer and wasn't in the mood to take chances. If you can find a quality side loading trailer, that would be your best bet IMHO. If you will use the trailer for other things, then a more utility type of trailer like mine is a better buy. (I only use mine for the ATVs.) I did mount a 5' long x 2' wide x 2' high diamond plate tool box on mine, which I feel was a must have so I can keep all of my tools, accessories & junk together.

 

Ok, I think we have just about the most perfect trailer for two quads. And our quads happen to be a DS650, and a Raptor. it is 5ft wide x 12ft long. It has a rear loading gate, and we only paid $450 for it new. You can drive them both in there, and the tailgate closes perfectly. The two quads are bumper to bumper, there isn't any room left. And we have 22/23in tires on them. It's awesome. Perfect fit

 

AdamsBadDS650 - hey man now that sounds like a good trailer, but do you happen to know who made it? Was it custom made or did you buy it from a specific manufacturer?
thanks

 

No, it's buy a guy out here that makes the trailers. Just a small family business. Sorry.

 

If you don't mind spending the money, check out Triton trailers. They have a web site that shows you all they offer. I have a 12 foot three place trailer. It has side loading ramps and is made of aluminum. I recommend them highly.

Be sure and shop around. You get what you pay for! I have the same trailer that Blackhawk has, Big Tex 6 1/2x12 with folding rear ramp. I gave $1000 for an '02 model with a spare wheel and tire for mine. I love my trailer.

 

Yeah, I gave 900 bones for mine. It is a 7'x12' and works great. I think it is a PJ or something like that. Built in texas I think. I can put two front to back on it, and a mini on the side of one, or you can fit three full size, sideways on it. Oh, mine included the spare also. I think it is a 2002 also.

Oh, one nice thing is that the side rails, which are about 12" tall can be removed if you want a true flat bed. Mine does not have the rear ramp gate, but I had a ramp before I bought the trailer and so that was not a big deal for me.
