i believe the only times id consider using a sled is if there was to much snow on the ground and i was hauling with a snow mobile
My brother in law uses an old gas tank from a car, chains it under the front of the log, drags it up to the house with his 4 wheeler, then bucks it up with the saw. He's got a OWB so he often just loads it up with rounds without splitting though.
If you have a sled to use when theres some snow, even just enough like in my pictures, then a sled is better. Less chance to tip over, as maneuverable as the little yard carts, and the path will be better if you need to do repeated hauling over days when the snow won't melt. you can get some nasty ruts that will either cause a lot of trouble, or possibly get you stuck by using wheeled trailers. In my case, I can haul more in 1 load with the large jet sled than I can in the agrifab trailer. now if you are using a snowmobile, you really should use a sled to haul, unless you've got a set of skis to put on the trailer axles.
This is what I use. I really like the dump feature and with the box off, the winch will lift logs onto the trailer with log staves. The trailer also has adjustable outriggers. The lift comes in handy for moving large rounds in and out of the box or from the box onto the splitter.
Yamaha 750. Tandem doesn't really give more capacity and to be any advantage it would have to be extremely uneven ground. They simply will not be any advantage except to maybe one or two but will make some feel better. Also on the tipping, if you look close at how the wheels are out so wide, it would take a whole lot to tip one of these over.
yes, this type of trailer would be hard to tip. My yard cart, or a gorilla cart is another story. In snow deeper than a few inches, a sled would be better, but we all know that deep snow and Louisiana are not often associated with another.
I’m gonna have to disagree. Yutrax may rate them at the same capacity, but that’s not the norm. Look at Polar or pretty much any other trailer manufacturer. Extra axles mean a lot more weight capacity. Otherwise they wouldn’t offer more than one axle on any trailer, truck, etc. It would come down to the tow vehicle and how much you’re looking to tow at a time. I like hauling big loads when I’m deep in the brush. I do agree smaller tow vehicles like 4 wheelers are probably tapped out with a good single axle trailer.
It is a dray that we've used many times. They are simple to build and can be built to whatever size you need. The one pictured cost me around $10 to build and did not take long to put it together either. As Horkn stated, it gets cold and the windshield helps tremendously as do the heated handlebar grips. Both are great especially when plowing snow. We put the windshield back on just a couple weeks ago and will probably take it off sometime in late April. I do not remember for sure what we paid but think it may have been around $400 0r less. We did buy it on sale many years ago. It may have been a different company as I think someone else bought the rights to it.
I am speaking only about this trailer concerning the tandem. The tandem here will not help in this case as you have only so much room in the trailer and it is built strong enough to take the loads with a single axle. The manufacturer made tandem mainly for far north where people were using them when hunting and they showed us some of the terrain they were going through and it was even difficult walking in there and many times it took 2 atv's; not because of the load, but because the terrain was such one atv could not go through it!
