Slick Trailer Made From Golf Cart

Slick Trailer Made From Golf Cart WAGONS/TRAILERS Miscellaneous 33-6-28 Doug Johnson, Little Cedar, Iowa converted an old 3-wheeled golf cart into a handy trailer that he pulls behind his Polaris 400 cc 4-wheeler. He got the 20-year-old golf cart free from a friend. He removed the seats, then cut the cart in half and welded in new I-beam material to lengthen the cart by about 2 ft. He added metal panels on each side to close it in. They can be easily removed by pulling a couple of pins. He also added a hitch made from angle iron. "It works slick and because of the golf cart's suspension system I can put on a heck of a load. And if I want I can put the seats back in and haul passengers," says Johnson. "I use it in the woods to haul firewood. I also use it to haul dirt and rocks. To unload the dirt I pull the sides off and shovel dirt off. "I spent almost nothing to build it. A trailer of comparable capacity would sell for about $700." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Doug Johnson, 4261 Patent Ave., Little Cedar, Iowa 50454 (ph 641 983-4414).
