Heavy Duty ATV "Dump Wagon"
ATV'S ATV'S 31-3-43 Want to haul heavier loads with your ATV? This new tandem axle dump wagon has its own self-contained power unit.
"It lets you dump loads up to 1,100 lbs. at the touch of a button, and spread the load out uniformly on-the-go if you want," says Keith Evans, Bosski, Inc., Caldwell, Idaho, noting that some folks are interested in using the trailer as a mini manure spreader.
The Bosski ATV Wagon bed measures 73 in. long by 45 in. wide. An electric motor operated off the ATV's 12-volt battery gear-drives an electronic screw jack that cranks the bed up or down.
The ATV Wagon rides on big 25-in. tires and has four-wheel independent suspension and a torsion bar axle, allowing it to float over rough terrain. It comes with a removable, double hinged tailgate that can be opened either from the top or bottom. The load is dumped simply by flipping a switch located on the ATV's handlebar. Electric power brakes provide the stopping power needed to control big loads.
"It comes in handy for a lot of different jobs and has more features for its price than anything else on the market," says Evans. "It's built from 14-gauge steel and has a frame made from 2-in. sq. tubing, and it comes with a powder coated finish and with a brake/tail light for safety. A brake controller is built into the trailer so all you do is splice your ATV's brake or tail light wire into the trailer's wiring system.
"Horse owners like this wagon because they can clean out their stalls without having to buy a manure spreader. When spreading manure, you can adjust the bed at any angle you want and lock it in position to spread manure. The bed angle reaches 48 degrees at a full dump angle. The double hinged tailgate can be used in three different ways - spreader style like a dump truck; laid flat like on a pickup; or removed with spring-loaded, quick release pins.
Comes in Forest Green and Sport Red.
Sells for $1,449.
The company also offers an ATV tandem axle trailer designed for hauling ATV camping, fishing or hunting gear in any weather conditions. It rides on 25-in. high tires and is designed to hold up to 1,300 lbs. It comes with a lightweight aluminum body and a weather-sealed, hinged lid that opens from the side via a gas shock. The bed measures 45 in. wide by 73 in. long and is all hand TIG welded aluminum, and has a drain plug in the back. Tube rails on top of the lid allow extra gear to be loaded and tied securely to the trailer. There's a fuel can holder on front.
"It lets you go deep into the woods and not only gets your gear to the camp site, but also bring the bacon and the beverages, too," says Evans.
Sells for $1,699.
