ATV/Tractor log trailer

That's awesome. Looks like you guys enjoy what you do. Very nice you guys help out the folks in the neighbourhood.

 

That is a really nice trailer you designed and built. I wish I had gotten Dad to teach me to weld. I would draw up the design and then copyright it; copyright fee is not that much. You could sell plans for others to build it.

 

I'd put that trailer under "Open Source" design lol

 

That thing is the bees knees. I think i need to make one. Where did you get those hubs for the wheels?

 

The hubs are standard trailer hubs and stubs , I used 4 bolt just because it's what was easily available , I bought some new Yamaha 25x10x12 takeoffs with the rims .
Atv rims have a metric bolt pattern so I did some drilling to mount them on the standard hub , not pretty but it works fine .
I used a dual axle 14" slipper spring center pivot , it's greasable bolt for the pivot and it's matching weld-on hanger . The main reason I used that for the pivot is because it was well built off the shelf stuff , cheap and easier for me to weld both sides straight than it was to make something and drill pivot holes straight on both sides lol
The next trailer I build will be a little heavier , I've scrounged up a bunch of mobile home axles and tires .

 

Nice trailer. Good work man!

 

Excellent job Dancan...looks like you may have picked up a few ideas from Woodland Mills as you mentioned in a previous post...the walking beam tandem axle is a great feature isn't it?!...I love mine...although I likely dished out a lot more cash than you did...must feel very good to have built your own....good on you sir!!....Twister

 

Yup , I sure did watch a lot of vids and paused them to see how things were set up then tried to cobble stuff together .
I built a rack/box for it a couple of weeks ago to haul so of my gear .

 

My wife would be pizzed if I did that to her laundry basket lol

 

Very nice carrier Dancan...looks very well built and roomy and like it suits the purpose perfectly....especially with that wide selection of gear you have there...I hope your wife's laundry basket is built like this one....she would end up with arms like Hulk Hogan!!......happy haulin'....Twister.

 

Bringing this to the top for those who missed this awesome ATV trailer. I am having a non take down ATV trailer built. I will get picks if I can.

 

Very nice Dancan !

 

Thanks guys !
Rope , look at the last trailer pic that I put up in this thread and look at the bunks and stakes .
Make your stakes removable but don't have the pockets that they slide in up like mine , have them flush at the top , it makes for easier unloading at the end of the day .
