Here is my main wood hauler, Polaris Hawkeye:
[Hearth.com] My Wood Haulers in Action



This is the trailer I pull behind the Hawkeye, purchased years ago from Harbor Freight, one of the best buys I ever made. When it's dry and possibility of forest fires, this is the way it looks. Note the water and shovel! I've never needed them, but I feel better just in case:

And once in awhile I use my truck. Not very often, usually use the Hawkeye and trailer:

Thanks for looking!
 
I've got the same trailer. Exact same one. I had a particle board floor as the original. I recently redid it with diamond plate welded to the frame. Should be good for another four years. I pull it too with my ATV.
 
Yup, it's the perfect size for pulling around the woods with the ATV. When I bought mine they had the option of 8 inch wheels or 12 inch for a little more money. I went with the 8 inch because it rides level behind the ATV. The bigger tires were a bit too tall. I used treated plywood for the floor and sides and it's parked outside. Still in great shape after many years of use and weather.

That's real nice gzecc! We were at our local county fair last night and drooled over the new John Deere riding mowers/small tractors the dealership had on display. They sure are pretty. Watch the stumps with that mower deck in the woods though! A mower deck alone was $2000, on sale.
 
I bought mine about 3-4 yrs ago. Its an mid 80's era. I paid $3200 with 3point, mower and snow blade. It had 1k hours. Its built like a tank!
