    If you're going to dream, the winch better be electric and not hand crank;)

    Here's the pricing on the yutrax at northern tool. The yutrax is amazingly inexpensive. For 79 more than the small horror freight one, it has wide ATV tires and wheels, a floor, and sides. Plus you can use a northern tool coupon to save even more. Screenshot_2017-02-26-21-02-41.png

    Yep. I have a utility with a mesh floor. I won't own another. Good looking trailer but the floor kills it for me.

    The 4x8 utility trailer I use is mesh floored. For firewood use, I wouldn't want anything but a mesh floor. If you don't want a mesh floor, simply put in a sheet of plywood on the bottom.

    Yes, its in the sig-Clam Outdoors is the parent company-they are pricey but very durable thus far...had good interaction with the company too---had slight damage to bed when received, they went above and beyond to make it right...they have several models, if you dont need tandem axle they are much more affordable...just a thought, just my 0.02 cents

    Eric, there is nothing wrong with a rigid tow. The only real advantage of having chain is hooking up when in brush and you want to hook up at an extreme angle and it is very simple to make the chain hookup.

    Backwoods Savage Thanks for all of your answers to my questions. If I can get something made this summer that works, I will post pics.

    The yutrax is less money than doctor bills, then again the polar is too.
