lets see your atv trailers/wood haulers

Dennis I've seen your pic a few times and that would be on the top of my list if I were going to buy one new. But for a 2wd garden tractor I'd want to see if it could be somewhat easily modified to move the axle towards the back. Do you think that would be possible looking at yours?

Not sure why you would need to move the axle back? Just balance the load the best you can. I have one of the poly dump carts shown in this thread, about 12 cu ft, and that sucker can take a load. I pile that thing pretty high and those only cost $200. That trailer may take a load too heavy for a 2WD lawn tractor.

Here's the one I want.

I have a 4x8 Harbor Freight folding trailer with some side panels. It is rated for 1,000 lbs but I've had WAY more than that on there (probably closer to 3K with a load of green osage) and it did great. I drive mostly on hard ground so the skinny tires aren't a deal breaker for me.

If I was to buy an ATV trailer I think I would look at one like Backwoods has . . . maybe even spring for the walking beam suspension . . . once you see the walking beam in action it makes you a believer . . . our ATV Club has a "home-built" model with a walking beam suspension and it crawls over the most gnarly stuff . . . wherever your ATV will go, the trailer will go.

I'd want the axle as far as possible to get the most amount of weight on the rear tractor tires. yeah, it could be just filled in the front but that cuts your capacity down and unless you put somthing in there to keep it in the front then you have a worse situation... it all ends up in the back lol. Wouldnt be a big issues except my terrain is rough and one really big hill I have to travel up loaded. I have a 12.5cuft poly cart too and it didnt hold up...
