Hi fellow ATV'ERS-Looking for a used trailer for my 2 atv's-Any ideas of where to look????I live in Minnesota.

Thanks
Greg

 

I found that used trailers were no bargain. I had a 5x14 built with a ramp for $660. It works perfectly for 2 full size quads in line with one another and not too wide. It even fits in a single garage door. B&B trailers in Oklahoma City makes the best I have seen. After moving to Texas, I've noticed the trailers are more expensive here. Mine was a bargain. Good luck.

 

I wouldnt consider anything that isn't fully enclosed. The salt on the roads here rusts any bare metal horribly. After one trip to Danbury and back on a open trailer and my quads were showing significant corrision by the end of the week when I could get them to the car wash. Even the nickel plated latches, the brake rotor and drive shafts all were rusty. And the trailers themselves are also not well suited for the salt conditions. It would do you well to have a trailer undercoated before it hits the road or if you can afford a aluminum traler - then go for that. Check out www.crashedtoys.com - I saw a two place trailer there and they are close by in Stillwater. Friend got a great deal on a trailer from a big trailer dealer there in Cannon Falls. I've bought off of ebay and done well. Theres a place down in Elco thats suppose to be pretty big.

Good luck!

 

A couple questions.........What kind of price range are you looking at?
What will you be pulling it with? Both will make a big difference on what you end up with.

 

I found my 8' x 5' trailer in the classified ads in the paper. You can always find good deals and some real nice trailers. My trailer is a tilt trailer and is perfect for my Foreman. I paid $475 for it brand new. Now that price is in Arkansas. You may pay more in your area. Also, get a trailer with "normal" tires, 15" or 16" tires. Don't get a trailer with "lawnmower" tires. You will regret it.

Good luck
