i just bought a 7x16 w/ side load & rear load. i can put 3 side by side & have room for a box on the front. i paid $1800 OTD.

 

For short hauls, I have a 14x6.6 Middeck trailer with electric brakes.

I had this trailer made to fit on one side of my 2 car garage. It has a 6000lb axle, and heavy duty ramps that are hidden away when not in use. It sits higher than a low bow trailer, so the rails go all around the outside, and you can drive over the fenders. It is lower than a highboy sled deck, so it keeps the load low to the ground for good hauling, and garage height concerns.

14ft x 6.6 usable deck space, with maybe a 3 foot v in front, so the total length fits in any 18ft deep garage on one side. 3 bikes easily fit sideways, and the ramps move wherever you need them. 2 regular, or even 2 max outtys can park lengthwise. I love it. I chose the single axle because I can move it around with the hitch wheel in my shop, and one big axle is plenty for ATV's. If loaded correctly, there is no hop or bounce on the road at all. I am very happy with it. I paid 3200 for it, but I did have it made to spec for me.

steel? aluminum? what brand name?

 

Trail Pro. All Steel. 1" Treated Plywood Deck w/ extra footage.

 

I use a Shorelandr 8X14....
http://www.shorelandr.com/pages/t_specs.aspx?type=powersport&productID=2381

Comes with it's own ramps that attach to the front, can load 3 utilities or 4 sport quads and load from all 3 sides, and has holes in decking for any tie down angle you could imagine. I used herculiner bed lines on the deck and ramps for good winter and wet traction. Has made several trips to the U.P. in Michigan with 3 utility quads on it behind a small 5th wheel.

 

You guys can double tow down there ? We only have a few selected highways for that.

 

Yes you have to have a "R" ,"Recreational Double"endorsement or a CDL Class A with "T","doubles" endorsement.

it is steel. brand.......IDK. i got from a local John Deer place. it is tandem axle 7000lb capable & has electric bakes.

 

I have this 4 place 16' foot trailer from alumina. Came with aluminum ramps. http://www.alumaklm.com/8605_tilt_bed_snowmobile_trailer.html

I also have a 2 place version that is 10 foot long.

This a stock pic from there sight of my 2 place trailer. I could not find a pic of my actuall one, but mine is the same but with the lager tires like seen on the 16 foot trailer.

They also make trailers that they call ATV trailers, but the demensions of the slead trailers seem to work better for the larger quads.


There was another cool feature the sled trailer offered and that was the channel that runs under where the quads park allows for some special ring/loop tie downs that can be adjusted to suit the length of what ever machine you are carring, allowing to you ties straight down to the floor, no matter rather you have a MAX on there one day or a regular single seat outlander on there the nex day.


The 4 place weight is 875#s.

The two place tilt weighs 300#s.


In this pic of the big trailer without quads on it you can see that tie down channle I was reffering to, just ignore the sled ski tiedowns and picture regular I bolt loop type tiedowns.

 

I also have a little 5x10 utilty trailer made by PJ Trailers. One of the very few trailer companies that use a powerdercoat finsh with aluminum fenders, and recesed lighting. I use this trailer for work or just about anything I need to haul that won't fit in the bed of my truck. It also happens to work great for hauling a quad.

I don't have a good picture of mine, but this one is similar, except I have the 10 foot model and I think this one looks like the 8 footer. Mine also has the last 2 foot dovetailed. Comes in handy for getting a better approach angle for loading riding mowers and such. It also drops the tailgate ramp down some, which I believe probably helps cut down on some of the wind drag, commonfrom those sort of tailgates.

 

Not a very good pic but here is what I use. Its a Wells Cargo 25' Sled trailer. You can fit 5 wheelers in it (one in the back sideways) as long as they have the stock wheels on them. Which mine doesn't anymore. It was built to haul 4 sleds and ya gotta remember to duck when loading. One of those open side load trailers maybe required soon.

 

I just have a 5 x 8 wood bottom trailerI boughtthat wascouple monthsold for $500 bucks. I think its from Tractor Supply Co.I would have bought something a little bigger but I'm running out of space here at my house.

 

I have the triton ATV88 and have quite a bit of play on each side with mine. I can't see why a max wouldn't fit. Did you actually try it?

I get it now, you are talking about the SL, try the ATV.

 

gotcha,



I'm looking at the atv128 for $1600 ...sound good?

 

Heck yeah, I have $1500 in mine.

 

I have the Triton XT10-101. Fairly cheap, tons of room, light and tilts for easy on/off!

 

I built my own enclosed but for short trips Im going to build an all alum 8'6" x 14'

 

If you happen across a sled trailer your interested in, check the total pounds the little wheels are good for. Most will only do one full size quad, as two ATVs and the weight of the trailer is to much for the little tires even though they will fit on the deck. Most little tires are only good for about 850 lbs each.

 

:gp:The tire size is very important. Not just for weight rating if the tires are short in height that means they will be spinning faster. This causes overheating of the tiresandworn outbearings after the grease melts out from the heat.

 

Very true Rev.

I opted for the bigest tires and rims the offered, I tend to pull them 75-80 on the interstate, and was really worried about possible heat issues with standard little mini tires.

The first trailer I had came with 12" rims. Like you we drive 75-80 and we were blowing tires almost every trip with wheelers loaded, not at all with sleds. Less weight and different weather had a lot to do with that. The new trailer came with 14" rims and seems to have fixed that problem. Bearing buddies are a big help also.

 

I have a little 4x6 trailer for local stuff and this one for overnight

 

 

That's a perfect setup for a weekend get away...nice rig Mike.

 

Renny looks awsome too. Is that a black hood from the x ?
