    I saw a photo recently where a person had a utility cart attached to an atv and a small splitter attached to the rear of that.

    I will likely order a Bannon trailer tomorrow and was thinking that as heavy as my Forrest King splitter is, it might be better to attach the wagon to it.

    Any aftermarket or DIY solutions to this? I promise to post pics when the contraption goes t%#%% up.

    Any other thoughts on a solution to take all three into the backwoods at once are welcome.

    Yeah, makes for an interesting mix on Google image search.

    I have an interest in old Bacon Manufacturing revolvers. Now there are some interesting search results.

    this was my thought too, when the trailer is empty it might want to skid in a turn? might have to tow the trailer last on the way out and in the middle when loaded. Not sure how heavy the trailer is, do not forget you will probably have some equipment you can out in it on the way out

    I think that is the photo I saw. Good point Ironpony, The closer image of the plate on the trailer answers my question.

    I have an 85 year old neighbor who is a retired machinist, I am sure he can assist. His son on our road, has an OWB too and spends time in the woods cutting too.

    I think I bought the drop hitch at TSC.
