Thanks for the info guys!

Sidewinder, how do you get them on sideways over the rails on that landscape trailer? Those are the most prevalent around here.

Moose, Upnort and Ruggo - those Tritons look nice. I'm going to look those up online. See if I can find a dealer around here.

SS97 - where can you find the do it yourself kits? I am a huge do-it-yourselfer. I built my own house!

Thanks guys!

 

Quick question on the Triton trailers. The tires look so small! Do you guys have problems with them at highway speeds?

 

No problem at hiway speeds at all and it has seen quite a few miles. I have WAY overloaded it with wood and holds 65 fine.

 

i use a 6ft by 16 ft tandem utility trailer. Hauls 4 bikes sideways and we use aluminum ramps i had previously to drive them up and over the sides (when i remember them). Other than that my 2 bikes go right on with plenty of room to spare for gas,and whatever else you may need. Plus i use it to haul my firewood. I built the gate also so it folds in the middle. I hate having a big,heavy ,tall gate all the time which is hard to take off by myself if i need to and catches all the wind. it also serves as ramps for when we all go riding, i can take the top part off(it just slides off) and then take the bottom part off (also slides off) and set them on the side of the trailer to drive the bikes up on, kinda like ramps. Then when im done,just slide them back on and go. Since im by myself sometimes, its easy to take off too.
its strong enough to hold our 2,000 lb kubota also.

 

I like the snowmobile trailers shown here. I thought long and hard about one as they are readily available here in my area. I thought they would be a great idea, light, spacious, aluminum, etc. I was concerned about the small tires, too, but I've never heard any complaints. Although, one of my sportsmans weighs as much as two sleds! LOL! I still think they are a good idea.

I ended up getting a 14' car hauler trailer. I can haul three atv's sideways, or tow end to end. It has a 7000 lb load capacity. I also use it to haul hay, which I wouldn't be able to do with the snowmobile trailer. I which I went with a 16 foot trailer, though. It would be easier to haul all three as I would be able to just drive them up from the side. The tail on the 14 ft is too short, but they all slide easy enough.

The car hauler I bought new for $2200. A comparable landscaping trailer or atv trailer was $1800, so it was a no brainer for me.

I think the main thing to keep in mind is the load capacity of the trailer and how many atv's you will haul, especially considering the weight of them. You will probly need atleast a 3500# axle.

 

I have a "Quadrunner" 5x13 trailer with a dove tail gate. It is absolutely perfect for two bikes.
