8'6" is the max legal width even in Utah. My trailer is 7'X12' and holds 3 fullsized riggs easily. 8'X16' car trailer will haul 4 fullsized and 2 minis easily.

Thanks everyone. I will talk to my dad and see what he decides it would be really nice to have a car trailer.

A couple notes for you.. first off, with that many machines you are hauling there are weight issues. Don't know of too many open snowmobile trailers that are going to have brakes, and believe me you will need them with that much weight behind you. Second, you will be pushing the weight load rating to teh max on the little tires.

MAX width allowed on the road is 102 inches, or 8'6". I have an all aluminum snowmobile trailer that I use that is 102 wide, and 10 ft long. I can get 2 full size quads, and 1 mini raptor on it no sweat, and put the other mini in the truck bed... but it is a load to pull, and more importantly stop.

I am springing for the car trailer. My local dealer of BIGTEX trailers has an 18 ft car hauler model on the lot for $1350 with brakes. They also have utility trailers same size with side rails on them which you might want to consider. If I had it all to do over again, I'd spring for the car trailer... which I will be doing some day when I win the lotto... But actually, I will get an enclosed ATV trailer w/24' box... I like the security of keeping my stuff out of sight. Invest in a good set of locks for everything, and get one of those boot devices that locks on teh wheels of the trailer... I had someone try and steal my trailer until he found out the wheels didn't turn... he dumped it 5 ft from where I had locked it up...It saved my my trailer...
