wood trailer for ATV

[MotorSeven]

A single axle wave runner trailer can be converted to a wheeler trailer using a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 PT plywood. A used trailer can be had in the $50-100 range. This is what i use for hauling wood behind the wheeler and behind the diesel Jetta for those items that won't fit in the trunk. I have also hauled the wheeler on it since the axel is rated to 1K lbs.
It's a cheaper alternative......

the one with the yellow bunkers and hoist.

That must have been Gerry's. we built him one with a manual hoist the first time and he liked it but wanted to upgrade to something his wife could run as well.

'Been doodling plans for a welding project ATV trailer for a while now.

Takin' notes gang, takin notes!!!
Keep 'em coming!

Thanks to air19 I might have to hook nitrous up to the Polaris, but keep 'em coming!!

I was going to mod an old Jeep trailer, then rehash a rotted out old John Deere Manure spreader, now.....??

This could get silly!
Thanks guys!

Nichols trailers

:greenchainsaw: Was surfing the net last night and came across a site for Nichols Trailers out of Wilton, Maine. They make two models of ATV trailers in the 3' by 6' with
12" sides. They come in single and tandem axel and look very rugged to me over the net at least. You can also add a stakeside option to really pile up the load if you wish. They are pricey at first glance but might be just the ticket for hauling wood out of lots where you cannot use heavy equipment. I was just curious if anyone here has actually used one of these trailers and if so, what do you think of them.

These trailers are fantastic- extremely well built with heavy duty components throughout. The tires provide excellent flotation with the heaviest of loads. I couldn't recommend them more- you get what you pay for!

a buddy that i cut wood with made a atv trailer out of an old house oil tank and a shortened axle out of a dodge caravan, i could not believe how tough and ridgid it was , and cost next to nothing to make it .

My trailer is unbetable it has 8" wide tires. 2 in back 2 in front that steer. Hard to back up but their is no stress on teh atv with IMO is tha way to go i have a regualr axel trailor and can onley get 1/3 of teh wood with this one. It was manufactured flat bed but i welded tube on the side and made 16" sides for it. So if i nee dteh flat bed i have it but it also a grat hauler that put no stress on teh IRS.

hers my rig. sometimes with a spliter but this is my 1/2 home made trailer. was a flat bed landscape trailer i got from my freind he used on his nursery. Then i welded tube steel on and made the sides out of 2x3s and OSB. Also have other sides for full loggs. This thing can hold alot of wood and the 700cc grizzly pulls it like nothing.
This 4 wheel steering traior has advantages over a regular one. It fallows your exact tracks so its good in tight woods and their is no load on the atvs irs.

My wife bought me a 2009 Polaris Ranger to replace my 11 year old Yamaha Grizzly that has worked it's butt off pulling trailer loads of wood. This thing realy pulls. The trailer is about 6X8 and can hold a chunk of wood.

Nice. You like to Polaris? iv had the worst of luck with them.
I like my tailor for the reason it put no strain on my IRS! I think you could tighten the suspension up in the back? I can on mine. I didn't get the rhino because its too big and it be the same as the truck (more carrying wood to it. With the ATV i drive through tight squeeze and come to the wood.
My next toy (i mean tool) will be a jap.... mini vehicle those little things are cool. And the Honda one will last forever i bet. and they ware 1/2 the price of the new grizzly.
