Heavy-DutyTandem Axle Trailer For ATV's
The steel trailer measures 47 in. wide, 5 ft. long, and 3 ft. high and rides on 22 by 11 by 8 flotation tires. It's equipped with a tailgate on back that folds down by pulling two pins. The tongue has a ball hitch.
"You can use it to haul calves, feed, wood, or just about anything else around your farm," says Schell. "It's rated to haul up to 800 lbs. of wood. The key feature is the tandem axle suspension which gives it a lot of load-bearing capacity and also makes it ride really smooth, even when loaded. It'll float right over bumps. Most commercial ATV trailers ride on a single axle with no suspension so they ride rough. The tires have a maximum air pressure of 15 lbs. so they're real soft. They follow directly in the wheel tracks made by the ATV so you don't have to break two trails.
"You can carry both the ATV and the trailer in a pickup. I drive the ATV up onto the pickup bed and then roll the trailer backward onto the bed and tip it up vertically. That way the trailer takes up only about 3 ft. of space."
Sells for $850 plus S&H.
