Arc_Dad said:How do you haul wood/trees out of the woods with your ATV? I have a small cart/trailer that is going to hold much wood at all. Is there a good way to drag trees behind the ATV?
Arc_Dad said:Nice Quads your Sportsman earns its keep just like mine except mine is working to plow snow. I have an old 2-up snowmobile trailer. I may just have to build some sides on it. It's about 8' wide though and is going to limit where I can go in the woods. I kind of like the idea of the arch to haul full trees out of the woods. I figure this year I'll get input from you guys and learn on my own. Next year I'll come up with what I really like and go for it.
WhitePine said:I have this one. It will haul 1,000 lbs. It's designed for garden tractors, but I pull it with a small utility tractor. I don't see why an ATV couldn't pull it. It's 7' x 38" and will go over some pretty rugged terrain. It's also easy to back up in tight situations with the long tongue and all the wheels in one area.
Zap appears to have the farm wagon version. They aren't so easy to back up, especially in the woods. :lol:

They also make a slightly smaller version specifically for ATVs. These things are rugged. I haven't been able to break mine yet, and I'm good at that sort of thing. ;-P

Zap, what would you say are the pros and cons of 4-wheel vs. 2-wheel trailers? I'd think one would be that a 2-wheeler would be more maneuverable when backing...zapny said:We have two wagons, the wooden one hauls plenty of wood in the summer and the plastic trailer I use both in the summer and most of the winter when hauling out wood.
I have a lot of branches, etc. littering the way. I'd think the dray would tend to get hung up unless I modified the fronts of the rails to ride up over that trash...Backwoods Savage said:You do not need snow or ice when using a dray. I've skidded many logs over bare ground with no problem.

I'd like to tear up my woods as little as possible. I guess a trailer would be better in that regard, with less power needed when going up an incline...
Arc_Dad said:Wow, the dray works yearround. I need to do this cheaply, I'll have to try a dray. That nce trailer would be great, maybe next year.
