Made this unit for dual purposes
Were i live you need to run some rough powerlines to get back to the woods and feilds..too rough for the grandsons quad right now and he just learning ...5yrs old.
It started out as just a drag from 2 sets of bed rails cut and chained together.

That got the trails in shape but needed a way to get his quad to the back for him to ride till he gets some know how to handle the trails ... and theres only about 3" of clearance on the little rascal .
So I need a trailer .....
Instead of having a separate drag and trailer ... I came up with this ..
A 2 n 1 unit .. trailer one way and flip it for the drag unit
Now i can drag while he rides ..win win

Thanks,..Well with every creation there's r&d. Took it out for a test run the other day and have some improvements to address.
The trailer end worked fine , but the drag end is where it needs a fix . Still works fine if I hook it up via tow strap and tie the tongue up .
No biggie.. but to be pulled by the tongue version I will need to beef it up ....a little to flimsy when catching roots and what not .
On a sweet note ... with the tires slightly out on the drag , they act like bumpers for around the trees
