I am looking for a 5X13 trailer to haul my Sportsman and my wifes Scrambler. Does anyone know where to find one. Is there a WEB site?

I have one. I bought it here in Van Wert County Ohio. There isn't any websites I can think of. I found my dealer by looking through the trailer section in those car/truck trader mags.

I see you live in Wisconsin if you could get to St. Louis Mo there is a cheap place to get trailers. Its call Davis Trailer. I got a 5 x 8 trailer (only one ATV) for $400.00.

Greetings,

Try Northern Tool and Equipment. They have a wide variety of trailers plus tons of other good stuff relevant to ATV-type people. Sorry, don't have the URL but a search should get you there.

Thanks,

Rod 450ES [...and its yellow]

Why would you want to pull a 13' trailer. The two quads you own are already heavy enough. I would advise buying a 5x10 trailer and making a set of ramps so you could load them on sideways. I have owned a 5x12 in the past, and I have pulled a 5x8 with two quads. The smaller one definetely pulled much better.

Thought of a snomobile trailer. I don't know how available they are in your area, but they fit two quads side by side. They tilt up for easy loading and unloading, and they are pretty light.

The only disadvantage is that they can't haul a load of wood. If that is important to you, then this trailer isn't for you.

My 5'x13' trailer only weighs 700 lbs. With my 2 quads on it only totals >1,700lbs all together. Pulling less than a ton is a piece of cake. Pull my grandpas 25,000 lb grain wagon with a truck. Now that's tough !
Unless ya got an IH
Snowmobile trailer are not only more expensive but like you said also limited in their uses. My trailer has a wood floor & I've hauled yard mowers & equipment and furniture too.

Snowmobile trailers are to wide. I borrowed my brothers 3 place trailer, it is way to wide and I can't trust my wife driving the truck with something that wide. The gas milage was terrible too. I think that while it is loaded it is not very aerodynamic either. It also sits to high. I will also use my new trailer to haul long things like carpet rolls or lumber. I have a place in Northern Wisconsin and I haul alot of stuff back and forth. Usually looks like a bunch of gypsies going down the road.
