Thanks Moose, hey - I had a terrible time with the last post, something caused the clip to show multiple times? Would you mind putting on your cape and fixing that

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer.

I had a used tandem aluminum 8.5X14 snowmobile trailer.
Everyone thought I was crazy being in the desert.
Fit 4 quads on it and you just drive up the back of it.
Used it for all kinds of other jobs.
Guess it's not a big deal but driving over the side of that trailer seemed a bit odd, to me.
Paid $1000 for my trailer and used it for 6 years and sold it for $1200.
Looked as good as the day I bought it

Sweet! Free trailer!!

I can ramp from the rear too which has no "side".

Haven't bought the e-track yet, having trouble finding tire bonnets locally. May have to roll the "quality dice" on Amazon.

That's the cool thing about a lot of these trailers, you can haul multiple types of vehicles on them.

Ok, got the e-track installed and purchased the tire bonnets at Amazon.

So far, I have no complaints. The trailer has been very easy to load, the tire bonnets work perfectly. My only observation in use is parking. If someone parks next to you, that can force you to unload from the rear. Fortunately, I haven't ran into that situation yet.

As far as one dimensional - the e-track adds some versatility for sure. I wouldn't haul a refrigerator, but I don't think trailers with small sides would be any better for that.

In the end, I'm pretty happy with the purchase and its ease of use .
