I was looking at using an ATV trailer. Otter has one molded plastic with ATV tires. I have several Otter sleds and there perty tough. DR has one also, little pricey but looks solid. Waterfowl impoundments, and some mitigation sites I can't drive a truck on when its wet. Anyone use an ATV trailer to tote your stuff when you can't use a truck? What kind, size, and what do you like the best. I dont want one with expanded metal in the bottom. I will also use it to tote off carcass's so I want a solid bed.
Thanks

I use one,they are good for hauling stuff.
Make sure you get a lid for it or everything will bounce out of it.

I use the same kind of trailer as Boco and it works good for me. I agree, definitely need a lid or canvas cover of some sort or you’ll be looking behind you all the time making sure things aren’t flying out.

Built a trailer many years ago, still use it. follows in the atv track. Has 15 inch car tires 225 or 235 if you can find them. box is about 20 inches wide and 20 inches high and about 5 or 6 feet long. 1 inch pipe frame at top that you can tie stuff off too. . Have carried a 12 alum boat on it, A lot of overhang , but it worked. Tows very easy . good flotation in mud. I can haul about a 1/3 of a cord of firewood, no problem. Was cheap to build, and rugged. If you weld and are handy , build yourself one. old243

I built one years ago ...Its been a Godsend. I made it to haul my Polaris 400 to the locations, then it goes behind my ATV. After a few cut and weld tweaks its almost perfect. Ill try and get pictures tomorrow.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Would lower air pressure in trailer tires help?

Clamshell. Indestructible. Either make your own railing or lid, or you will leave a Hansel and Gretel trail of kit behind you, especially uphill. The railing can be anchored by putting steel under the lip of the edge, then bolting through it.

I got a 4 wheeler for the missus yesterday and after rebuilding the carb and adjusting the valves I looked around the place for a bit and cranked up the welder and made her a little trailer for it so that she can play in the garden and if she feels like it haul some firewood.

I kept saving the wheels when they trashed the old dock carts at the marina. I have 4 more of those and if I have a mad moment, may just make longer axles and double up on the wheels for squirts and giggles. Turning that little rig into a 12 wheeler lol

Know a snow goose hunter that hauls 3 sleds in a train behind his atv, no tires.
Has an upside down sled on top of each bungeed down to keep everything inside.
I guess the bottoms will wear through eventually, but I think he had the wear skids on them so it would just be a matter to replace the skids

I forget the brand varmintshooter.I have had it for years,picked it up at Canadian tire for around 300 bucks if I remember right.I got my welder to extend the hitch bar so I can carry a canoe etc on top.It is very lightweight,I can pick it up with one arm empty.
It also has a pin for dumping.
