Doesn't take anything fancy. I use a 5' X 8' homebuilt utility trailer with a drop down loading ramp. Secure the P650 with a set of the Fulton locks. Tows like a champ, and I've got about $650 in the whole rig.

I bought a trailer kit from sportztrailers.com. They ship it right to you, and then you assemble it (which is pretty easy.) The kit only cost $440.00, shipped to your front door. All you need to supply is a 4x8 piece of plywood and the mounting hard ware, which amounts to a box of self-tapping bolds from Home Depot. The trailer has a tilting bed, which works really nice. You just pull the pins, tilt the bed down and pull your Prairie right up to the bed, so that the tires are up against the bed and holding the bed down. Then with your Prairie 650 in 4-wheel drive, just drive it right on until the bed tilts back down. Then you just put the pins back in and tie it down and your good to go. I used to have a Prairie 650, so I know that it works perfectly for it! Check this trailer out at:

1-www.sportztrailers.com
2-Click on "Catalog"
3-Scroll to the bottom left hand side of page, and click on "Utility Trailers"
4-Scroll down to "50 inch by 98 inch Tilt Bed Utility Trailer Model 860"
5-Check it out, and place your order.

The owners name is Randy, and he will bend over backwards to help you. The trailer has a 1,800-pound capacity, with 12-inch rims, so it will tow down the freeway nicely. I have had this trailer for over a year now, with no problems. When you first get it, you may have to add an extra grounding wire to get the lights to be grounded properly, due to the nice powder coat that they put on the trailer. If you get it, and have any questions, just let me know, I would be glad to help. Hope this helps.

Try Midwest Trailer Sales, South 94 in St Charles County. I got a 5 X 8 from them with 3500 lb payload for less than $500. But thats been 6 or 7 years Ago. The rear boards are also my ramps. Where do you ride in the St Louis area?

karavantrailers.net
all metal trailers including sides and locking tailgate.
model #ku-46s OR ku-58s.
i bought the 58s for $650.
best money i ever spent.
when loaded there's plenty of room left for safe storage of gas cans and gear.

Are there any Tractor Supply(TSC) farm stores in your area. They carry a nice 5X7 traler, mesh floor, and a mesh drop gate/ramp for @$400.00! It is a tilt bed, to boot! I think Lowe's carries the same trailer also.
