I need a bigger utility trailer. I have a 5X10, and it's a good trailer. One of the best, made by a guy, now deceased, about 8 miles from me. Pipe, not angle iron.......full metal floor, and I have new tires (Duh), a tool box bolted in the front, and a Fulton heavy duty wheeled jack. But it's not big enough.
I can't decide between at 16' and a 14'.
I have looked at Big Tex at several locations. Their 50LA series is a possibility, as is the 60XP series.......in either 14' or 16'.
I want to have room to put my four wheeler (and some day, as I DREAM, a Gator 825xi), and still have room to carry some storage boxes and ice chests that my truck never seems to have enough room to carry. I also am thinking of mounting a new storage box/pickup type tool box, in front of trailer before the crank.
I think I'd like the side loading ATV trailers, but most of them are not the heavy duty trailers. This is not a requirement, as my current ATV is over 9 feet long with baskets, and it'd hang over the sides with most trailers.
I keep thinking I want a dual axle with an electric brake, but they are indeed heavier. Yes, I'll have a bigger truck someday, maybe in a year.
A 16' just seems a bit much to pull and store........but it sure would hold my stuff........
welded pipe vs. angle iron...........not sure it matters, but my current one is pipe, and it's nice...........
Expanded metal drop down gate, vs. no sides and use ramps.....???????
thoughts?????
